| Sad! I guess I'll revert to the basic layout for the mean time. |

| Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity. Group franchises in Top Anime page. Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5. |
| There is one problem I faced when changing my password. It would ask me to change my name also, but re-typing my name kind of fixed that problem, although at first it made me think I would need to change my name also xD |
 |
| That's a good idea. |

HaXXspetten said: Yeah the covers on my list are all gone I would say the best thing to do for now to get some preview pic functionality back is to switch to a modern theme temporarily. They have the option for small preview pics by default: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1501171 And we have custom themes which have big preview pics that are going to be big but blurry until the third-party ap issue is resolved. If the issue gets resolved, they should get updated back to big and clear automatically. Otherwise, I would post a solution in this thread. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1723120 https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1544259 https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1712734 https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1594324 http://pasted.co/ca773d99 |

| One of the saddest things for me is that Graph.Anime doesn't work anymore bc as you mentioned, the APIs just don't work now. Hopefully it'll be solved soon... |

| Quite a shitstorm all of a sudden... It's been a long time since MAL had major issues :P |
| now now, they asked me to change password and when I do I get an error message informs me that another member is using my current username, doesnt make sense :/ classic anime lists' thumbnails dont show...and my phone charger doesnt work, what a mess O.o |
| You will see few users from now on because many will think they were banned. A pity that these things happen in such a big page of anime as MAL. |
 |
| @Shishio-kun Would you send out a message when they've found a solution to fix this? |

| got it, the problem was letter case sensitivity that's it for my case, got the wrong error message though xD |
| Ah man, that's a pain. Hopefully it doesn't last too long. :/ |
| Darn! :( The recent MAL changes broke my personalized anime list layout (originally designed by Takana_no_Hana). Not a single anime cover is showing up in my anime list. D: Somehow, my manga list is perfectly fine. Nothing's been affected in it, and the manga covers are all visible, from what I've observed. I can't think of what to do with my anime list, but I guess I'll just have to bear with it about the missing covers since I put a lot of work personalizing my list design and I don't feel like changing it to the most basic modern layout even if temporarily.. :/ |

But you'd have to undo when "real" HD covers come back, I think. .data.image a:before {content: ""; display: none !important;} /* LOW RES COVER SIZE You only see this if the import for high res covers goes down. */ a img{ background-size: contain !important; height: 220px !important; width: 178px !important;} |

I been looking around the forums and I think the solutions people used are * use exact case for text (lowercase and uppercase) * enter a blank name * use Microsoft Edge browser * use Internet Explorer browser |
| @Shishio-kun thanks a lot, problem solved for me it was lowercase and the uppercase characters of the user name. |

I tried adding this code to my anime list and it works! Awesome! :D Yeah, the covers look blurry, but I'll take it anytime of the day rather than missing/broken covers. The covers also don't zoom in during mouse rollover compared to the original CSS, but it's no big deal. Thank you very much for the quick fix! :) I look forward to the time when MAL finally resolves this issue. |
| I just switched to a basic theme until the covers work again. |
 |
| Well that fucking sucks. Do you have any guess as to what that eta might be? Or when Mal will allow 3rd party stuff again? |
YugureShadowmore said: Well that fucking sucks. Do you have any guess as to what that eta might be? Or when Mal will allow 3rd party stuff again? The eta is "indefinite". Which is very scary lol. HD covers might be dead, unless we can find a way to generate a cover CSS which we would all share again like in 2012. |
| Covers appear to still be working on my lists (though a couple are missing here and there but I think it's been that way before this API thing) and they still look HD too. |
 |
Rebel_Notorious said: Because you are using some premade covers/generators mixed in your cover imports, and some that links directly to the images on MAL. You should remove the multiple cover imports on top of your list and keep only one, it brings a number of problems. Your covers were partially missing because of this.Covers appear to still be working on my lists (though a couple are missing here and there but I think it's been that way before this API thing) and they still look HD too. Well, as of today I can't recommend you malcat, but IF the API comes back you should remove the old 01cov.css and the other cover imports and keep malcat OR mal-image only. Alas like Shishio explained we can't generate a new premade import in the meantime with no access for apps to the database... Maybe keep the most complete premade import and update later to a working dynamic generator. |
| OK I've updated the thread with some new info I learned! |
| Now have to sit and manually update the covers. =( |
| You can add Mirai to the list of working (but blurry) templates--I've never required HD covers because of the extra bandwidth they consume. As much as this sucks, I'm kind of tempted to try and design a new template around this limitation... I'll reserve wrath and fury for now to see what resolutions come about, but I'm going to be pretty disappointed if they never do. I understand staff is under obligation not to give certain details, but the lack of effective communication is the worst part about this IMO. Whoever's withholding permission to talk about it better rethink their reasons, otherwise disabling the API is just lost value to their product. EDIT: Also should probably mention that I'm experimenting with a static CSS database for hi-res covers. It took a bit of tweaking to get it working in the modern template, but if worst comes to worst I think it'd be possible to automate a lot of the process. The big downside would be every page visit would load the entire freaking database instead of just the needed covers. There's also a huge number of errors in my current database, so unless you want your Honobono Log (i.e. the most innocent anime ever) showing up as hentai I wouldn't recommend using it for the time being :P |
Lulech23May 25, 2018 5:46 PM
| Yeah, I was wondering where my covers went. Its really annoying that I'll have to fix them again. Although I'm not going to try fixing them right now because it would only end up frustrating me. Ill keep this post bookmarked for updates. Thanks for the guide. |

I didn't add it before because I was in a rush and grabbed some layouts off the front page heh What you're working on sounds great. Please keep us updated. I can also share new repairs with the group. When you make something in the clubs whole interest, I make sure to share it with all! |
Shishio-kun said: What you're working on sounds great. Please keep us updated. I can also share new repairs with the group. When you make something in the clubs whole interest, I make sure to share it with all! Will do! After a bit more digging, things are looking a bit more promising than I originally anticipated, but automating things properly might be a bit beyond my web dev knowledge (I could create a local application, though). In the modern template, covers are listed in an <img> tag like so: <img src="https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/r/96x136/images/anime/6/5237.jpg?s=ee65e53d4c4c55d68c09f7087ac9137c" class="hover-info image"> Removing the "r/96x136/" bit and the access token following "?s=" gets you the standard .jpg at full res. This is pretty easy to parse out and match with the parent element since the anime ID is listed in the href. With a little search & replace the HTML tags could be converted to CSS and voila, you have a database of covers just for your list. The key here is that instead of going through an API, you'd need to obtain a copy of the HTML source of a user's list. I believe this could be done with PHP, and JavaScript string functions would be sufficient to parse things out. Throw in a file host to store the generated .css file and you could @import the results. PHP would also be needed to check when the file is accessed and re-process the list to keep it updated. Of course, the bandwidth and processing requirements of a setup like this would be substantial, perhaps even impractical. In the absence of an API though, some variant of this approach seems best. |
| Fixed my list by going back to hosting my own CSS (which I've been keeping up to date with my own tool anyway). But I had to find some https hosting for it to work. Ended up making a dropbox account... and even they don't make it easy to get a stinking direct link. /rage I just scrape the page HTML. No API needed. |
  |
| I tried to see if I can fix it and it's still not working. I give up. Besides whats the point? Something else is going to happen that's going to cause something ELSE to break. Always happens on this site. Whatever, as long as I can see the anime titles on my list so I can update them, the covers aren't even all that important to me anymore. I do hope they fix this though because I'm done trying. Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to go off on a rant there lol. damn my easily frustrated personality. Especially when missing covers on an anime listing site isnt even all that serious and easily fixable. I'm probably going to either go to one of my old layouts that don't have covers showing or make a new layout without the cover pic feature. Probably the latter but I'm not going to use a modern list quite yet as I'm not use to editing the CSS code on the modern layouts yet. |

Well, it's currently janky as heck, but I do have a working generator running locally (i.e. in Windows)! Calling it MALamute because... well, it's like HD covers got 'muted' and... yeah, bad pun. Sorry. Note that this is for modern templates only and that's all it ever will be since I'm relying on the base HTML being what it is. And the big downside is that you have to run the generator every time you add a new anime to your list. On the other hand, it's not a database and only the anime on your list will be loaded from CSS, so it's as efficient as you'd hope. Check my list for a working demonstration! This is NOT ready for distribution yet, but if it gets there in my spare time I'll gladly share. |

Valerio_Lyndon said: I wish I had continued putting time into learning a programming language now so I could do something like this, alas I have not. What language did you use if I may ask? Programming skills are very strong and useful irl, especially if you combine them with another field like networking or design. It's good to get on it early in life and develop them over a lifetime. |

No problem, I'm also easily frustrated- I think the best thing to do now is just to kinda wait it out to see if it resolves itself within 2 weeks. Then, it would be time to make adjustments and you aren't overloading yourself with personal maintenance so soon. It helps me a lot in life that when something breaks you give yourself time to plan, reflect and absorb what happens before fixing it. |

I don't know programming well (dropped it for Networking) but that's what I was hoping to do with spacecowboy's list to provide a new public #more CSS and such (he has all anime, usually). And yeah they make it real hard to get public links on many services. |

Seeing HD covers is refreshing lol If we can make a CSS file with spacecowboy's list (he has like 12000 anime added) I can make new public CSS files out of it- that it would be a temporary repair for everyone's lists. |
Valerio_Lyndon said: What language did you use if I may ask? You ready for it? GML. Call me weird, but it's my favorite programming language. I'm not really doing anything that special with it, though. Could easily port it to any other language with basic string operations. I just started with GML because it's fastest for me. Valerio_Lyndon said: Speak of the devil, the MAL staff have posted an announcement. Whelp, looks like my work may not be necessary in the long run, but it's a fun challenge so I may continue with it this weekend. At least it'll hold people over in the meantime :) |
| I just realized what really happened but now I know it's just the API being shut down. MALbadges is also dead now :( |
| Just your average 15 y/o otaku. :D |
