~Hi!

So, I've created a fully automatic signature generator for MyAnimeList.
It updates itself every ~15 minutes and displays recent anime, total episodes count and days of watching.

Link -> https://malsignature.com/

Preview (normal size):

~ you can generate a compact (small) version if you wish

It also generates ready-to-use BBCode!

In the near future I'm going to add detailed signature statistics like total views and a top views ranking.

Any ideas / suggestions? ~ Post below :)

Oh this is cool! My suggestion would be to show what the most recent episode watched it - not just the title.

It's good and all, I'd love a good self-updating signature, but I don't think this one is for me. The fusion of MAL's own and yours would be great. One that shows account stats like mine now with time spent like yours do, but with both manga and anime for example. I don't think that the recent list updates are that important.

I'd suggest letting people put their own backgrounds in the signature seems like a first and foremost for customization after that giving some options to customize would be a big step for proliferation IMO as people value displaying different things like Heldengeist. Sticking with customize-able backgrounds as first and foremost priority however since if they're intended to be signatures and what not you should be able to put your own preferences into them in terms of aesthetics.

Hey, this is cool. Two things:
1. As many have suggested, custom background would be the best addition (currently the MAL logo overlaps the signature at the bottom and looks ugly)
2. The user image should be vertically centered (personal opinion).

I'm just not exactly fond of my head being cut off by the chin when there's a whole lot of whitespace above.

This is helpful. But should I post the BBcode, the html or the url?

BBC code if you want to display it somewhere.
I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes.

Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that.
It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers.
Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot?

This signature generator is really cool for people who don't know a lot about BBCode and editing, but instead of displaying the anime that was recently added to our list, I'd rather add favorite anime or favorite manga. I'd also like the background to be customized by pictures we like.

Still pretty good tho, even I use it.

I'm having the same issue than the user upside me. Good luck finding the issue !

It's actually quite sad to see a black background instead of the usual latest watched anime's background.

Okay, black background should be fixed now.
Give them ~15 minutes to update and clear the cache.

What happened is that mal cdn changed their domain
from: myanimelist.cdn-dena.com
to: cdn.myanimelist.net
and server failed to fetch the covers :)

Fixed. MyAnimeList added image 'lazyloading' and they no longer use src= attribute but rarther data-src. It's a nice feature however broke my regular expressions =) Updated them so should be working again.

Is this updating automatically? I'm always seeing the same signature, at least for me in the forums (with 811 episodes). However, when I load the signature from the webpage, it shows the updated one
