I don't like the changes but I'm willing to put up with most of them. I only cannot forgive you for changing the position of the anime & manga list buttons return them to the positions where everyone is used to opening them from

Facebook 2.0 by the looks of it~ Nice but not nice at the same time. Nice for the changes, but not nice for moving positions to random places. Prefer the original positions and layout.

@Xinil

great job with the new header and navigation.
I have one slight remark:
I use chrome as web browser,
when I click on lists the anime list button is hidden behind the search bar.
The same is with the notifications.

I can just click on the anime list button, I guess this was not done on purpose.

@Scraps
I agree on this as well, which by having something like a poll up with potential options; like I mentioned on my other post, that would allow them to see not only what we're wanting more, but also get feedback to such changes before just going ahead and making them, and then having the intermittent backlash from doing so by their users.
You're not the first to tell the staff to think of asking the community before they implement changes.

It's too bad the staff doesn't really have much to do with the developer team, which makes it even worse for us.

What we really need is options, to be honest. They could listen to feedback about these changes and give us an option to have the old ones if we wanted to.

But I do agree with you, although the issue isn't only the priority... It's also how impractical these changes are.

the addition itself isn't bad, but it's removing all the previous links and paths which forces to use the new additions which makes it impractical
as you said, they "must" leave options if they don't want to get negative feedback everytime they change something (but so far they didn't show to care...)

thanks a lot
how hard would it be to also add the anime/manga list links back into the "My Statistics" block in the panel?

and thanks even more for making "Profile" clickable again :D

That's why it's bad.

They just moved shit around and created more clutter.

I'm still amazed at how anyone can say "Press on the logo on the left to get to your panel and press on your avatar/list on the right to get to your profile.".

How does that make sense to anyone?

I don't mind moving the profile but I was too used to clicking my Anime List or Manga List on the top or next to the 'Anime/MangaList Views' part. There's now an extra click in order to access it. At least make it that the menu drops down when you hover the mouse like the ones in the main panel. That's all.

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/16597-myanimelist-old-header-links
the script doesn't seems to be active on http://myanimelist.net/editprofile.php and also other pages

i fixed that by changing the '@'include' with
// @include      http://myanimelist.net/*
// @exclude      http://myanimelist.net/animelist/*
// @exclude      http://myanimelist.net/mangalist/*


also, i agree github is more professional, but getting feedback directly here on mal is faster for who gives feedback

and lol, there is actually a guy nicknamed include xD

Who would want to access their list with one click anyway. It's not like this is anime/manga listing site... oh wait. Moving anime and manga lists to a separate menu doesn't make much sense. Especially moving it to the part of the page you rarely navigate. If anything, it should be on the same bar as Anime/Manga/Community etc.

It's another entry in a series of changes making this site a pain in the ass to use on PC and making it harder to use it for what it is for overall.

I don't hate it but I don't really see why it was a priority over other things.

^This.

He speaks of reducing clutter, but adding another section; and by doing so taking up more un-collapsible space by doing so, to me just creates more clutter just in a different area. IMO if you want something to completely reduce clutter for a number of people, then give priority to the section collapsing that was mentioned will eventually come for the anime/manga sections for those that don't use them, as see that's reducing period without moving or gaining elsewhere.

Also, I and many others I'm sure would like to see a "night mode" selector or setting option added on site so we don't have to have offsite scripts running to not burn out our eyes here, THAT would actually be a fully welcomed addition, that from a coding standpoint shouldn't take that much effort.
Look at most regularly visited entertainment sites; outside some obstinate social media, and see how many still cling to the literal eye-sore of a trend of bright white being a go to. I don't understand outside of advertising why bright white on the net ever became the go to, or why it was put up with for so long. I mean have a poll taken just about any site that people are known to spend a fair amount of time that have this severely out-dated bright white; or any other high intensity color for that matter, everywhere and ask how many use scripts, add-ons, separate modes, etc. to alter that. I bet you'd find the majority that have half a clue about knowing how do indeed do so. Overly bright colors on any screen without at the very least having a contrast control to it are highly unappealing for anything besides quickly grabbing your attention, and therefore; like an ever growing number of sites understand, shouldn't be used otherwise, or at the very least not as a majority portioned color...
I mean hell if you want to have it made even easier for you just use the hard coded blue with black bg list style you already have, and just code in a settings option to have all sections of the site use it.

Also one nitpick with this particular update. Why if we can click our avatar to get to our pf in 1 click, is their a then redundant option to do so on the drop down right beside it???

All that said, I'm thankful things are getting updated, but it would really be nice to have user poll threads or something for potential changes so you all could at least better gauge what your users are more inclined to want and be appreciative for.

I agree, bright white hurts my eyes. I would like to see a pale colour background that doesn't hurt eyes with it's intensity. Like perhaps a pale blue or pale green or pale purple.

Change isn't bad or unwelcome, but it will certainly take time getting used to. I keep going to click "Profile" and thinking "Strange I don't remember being a search engine..." It's become a natural reflex to go to the left side for that feature.

Underrated post. Along with the "don't fix something that isn't broken" posts, it seems the team needs to realize the original design was good, and that since MAL's design and Facebook's are based on different philosophies, anything that's an hybrid of the two is counter-intuitive and somehow annoying.

Lists are in the rightmost of the three big icons at the top right. Unfortunately you have to click on the list icon instead of it opening on hover like the old location.

The dev team isn't related to the MAL staff. Kineta is their courier, but that's pretty much it.

DeNA is pushing this shit and they don't care about us.

Nah, as I said on other threads. MAL's Alexa rank increases, MAL isn't popular because of the forums, but because of the list and database.

These are SMALL changes that are injected one by one, that way people both don't care and don't bother and they get to update the site as they want.

Instead of changing it WHOLLY, which would have made people REALLY REALLY ANGRY.

True but one day they'll change too many things and MAL's rank will decrease, but by then it will too late to thwart it.

Anyway a lot of people have suggested an option to choose between classic MAL and revamped MAL (with possibly two different https) -- and for some time now. I'd like to see that, it's the best course of action in the long run.
