We just have the intelligence to know when something is crap and shouldn't have been changed for no reason. QFT, though I'd say "crap" is a bit harsh. |
| It's nice. Preffered the old one though |
 |
| Some quick comments: - popup login looks bad. Maybe the login form should go to the right of the logo, there's a lot of place there (like facebook, at least one thing they did right) - minimal width of browser window that doesn't make horizontal scrollbars appear, is about 994px. I'd suggest go down with it, at least to 840px (it's eeePc's screen width, isn't it?). Dunno how much work it would take. - I still don't like the huge shiny logo. And all of these are bad: http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/bgs/mal-bg-1.jpg http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/bgs/mal-bg-2.jpg http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/bgs/mal-bg-3.jpg (I adblocked the logo, and the site looks much better with a huge white space at the top. Waiting for a better one) |
| the sql errors are unrelated to the new layout.... except possibly people telling their friends that it changed is causing a lot of extra load on the db. |
 I am a banana. |
| @Bakayaro: What the hell?! The quote is also not working and I don't really understand what you mean? I didn't do anything except using add blocker, but that shouldn't be a problem. :3 |

| Though unusual, I like it. It'll take me some time to get used to, sure, but it's not "bad". Pros: -Stylish, and looks less like Facebook now no shit. But still stylish. -Wider. Wider is better. Always. (This counts as three points?) -Looks more viable for custom skins (hint, hint...) -Search button is back. Not that I use it, but it feels more complete this way. Cons: -Huge banner. Not showing it on most of the pages will probably work. -No side bar. A scrolling sidebar would do the job. Or any sorts of it. -No borders on the top menu? Hard to distinguish and a pain to eyes when it crosses the ads. |
| Need more sidebar - the topbar with dropdowns is really inconvenient. |
| ~five exclamation marks is the sure sign of an insane mind~ |
| At first I was surprised, but I know I'll get used to it. I already can see the advantage of more horizontal space available now for forums and clubs (a lot of people will have to rework personal- and club-profile-pictures). Also I wholeheartily agreed to the change once I saw it was making use of ajax. With this, customisation on MAL should become really awesome sooner or later. :D |
| So far... No. I don't like it. The layout IS nice, but it is harder to navigate which makes it bad imo. |
  |
| omg... previous design was better Fye_DX said: The layout IS nice, but it is harder to navigate which makes it bad imo. agree.. |
| *Feels disorientated* The bar on the left NEEDS to be there :O |
| IT LOOKS LIKE NEOPETS! Which is a bad thing. Especially the navigation |
 |
| I actually kinda like it |
| Will take time getting used to but the general look it looks nice. You've still got the simplicity which I loved about MAL but the drop down bar at the top needs work. One thing I'll poke you about is the use of a huge background. Never liked them. Slows down the time it takes for the page to load. Couldn't you just use a patterned background like a diagonal light scan line on white back? You'd only need to use 10x10 pixels at most since it's on repeat. Pattern background will always rule. Oh and Widescreen FTW. |

I roflolled sinisterly. |
| ugh... Why the drop down menu's!? side bar is so nice, simple and quick. dropdowns respond slow! not to mention they fall behind the banner on the main page in IE8. Why change something that wasn't broken? seriously. At least give people the opportunity to chose between old and new style in their preferences. |
 |
| I like it, it works great. Just one thing, MyAnimeList logo is too big xo |

I didn't do anything except using add blocker, but that shouldn't be a problem. :3 How strange. I tried in Firefox and Chrome (with adblock on), and I can still get to the quote function, so I can say that it's probably not that too. |
| Its alright, I guess..... I liked how I could see all my option without haveing to activate a flash menu.... >>.... I actually dont care as long as its easy to navigate. But it seems like there is ALOT less info on the main page..... and its looks boring and plain. What would be better is if I could have some extra options on my anime and manga list... like avg. user score..... rankings..... description....you know, to see what everyone else thinks. I get tired of looking at each page for a description, score yada yada. Like make the lists flash?? and bubble menus for each entry. But keeping private info and public info separate. Oh.... custom backgrounds for our panel and profile would be awesome. |
  |
| Any way to switch it back to the old skin? |
 |

"I'd suck you~" Berri||Desu Ne? |
| I'll wait with the answer. For now, it looks ok. One bad thing I noticed is "My Panel"-page. If you look I guess you'll see what I mean. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| I like the new big letters that say "MyAnimeList", but that's about it. Old design was better in my opinion. :/ |
| I liked the old MAL layout better :S |
 |
| I tested the new theme on some browsers a bit (excluding FireFox since it's popular and all that): IE7: No need for ad block, none of the ads load so that's cool, the rest of MAL loads and works fine. IE8: The menu apparently appear behind the ads, so it's quite hard to use. Safari 4: Nothing bugged except for the fact it won't ever stop loading. Opera 10: The drop-down menu's don't work. |
| I really love the new design. Can't really understand all the hate. The new navigation just need a little bit of time getting used to. Of course issues with some browser need a fix. |
   |
PrincessJustice said: it's terrible Not that I hate it as a whole, there are some things that changed for the better but overall I'd really want the old layout back. (though of course I know that will very unlikely happen) Now I need to update my dark theme. :v |
 |
| I like this :3 Good job! |

| I want my sidebar back. http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=18378&time=1263328195 |

| one question: Why fix something that aint broken? seems to me most people liked the old version of MAL, and i did to. Drop down menus just isnt convenient. |
     |
| I'm surprised by the change. It's great and more spacey with the sidebar gone, yet it will take some time for me to adjust to the new nav. My only complain about it is that the logo is too big. With my widescreen monitor, it's better if I see more of the page contents without having to scroll down a bit. Good work, Xinil. I'm sure you still have more in store for this change. |

"I'd suck you~" Berri||Desu Ne? |
| Cool! I like it. There are few issues(like the time it takes for a drop-down to go away) but its ok. Wider is better! :) |
| Not a fan of the dropdown for the profile- preferred having the club, anime list, manga list, etc. on the side. |
 |
| *CRIES* |
| Suggestion: put up at least a simple set of navigational choices someplace which people can choose. So for example to the side or something have just about 3 or 4 slots people can change out what they want from the old navigation. IE I want to see Clubs, Profile, Recommendations and MyAnimeList. Someone else might want quicklinks to their MyMangaList, or Blog etc. Anything to make it less... Nueva Livejournal. :( (PS, I'm not checking this thread, so if you really want to reply, please use PM.) |
| @Bakayaro: Mmh well but I didn't block something like that. Man this is really concerning me got any help maybe? |

Why thank you. I have to say I find it very ironic how a community with ultimate IE hatred is viewed pretty damn quick and ad-free with IE7 compared to the other's I tested. |
| I dunno, looks extremely strange in lower resolutions. The least you could do is specify a min-width for the content wrapper so that when the browser window gets too small the background doesn't go to hell. Despite what people are saying, I use a widscreen but I don't like my windows maximized, and I know I'm not the only one. Putting the logo as part of the background just screams noncompliance. I can't even begin to list all the ways that part could go wrong. Other than that... Er, gotta admit I like the sidebar more. Might be able to get used to the top navigation, but the delay on hover is a bit too long. I don't mean to offend, but it really looks somewhat unfinished. Plain, even. |
| I don't understand why everybody hates it so much. I think it looks A MILLION times more professional than the previous version. All of you are complaining because you aren't used to the navigation, but you'll get used to it eventually. |
 |
| ... now it looks like one of those free websites with this new lame setup sry you put in all this work and alot of people don't like it btw side bar was nice wth?! |
