| We would like to inform everyone that a 10 hour maintenance window has been scheduled for August 17, 2022 between the hours of 12AM to 10AM PDT. You can also see this in your local time zone using this link. Please note that the maintenance will affect both the website and our apps. This maintenance is required for the release of our new account infrastructure, which is the first major release in MyAnimeList's backend renewal project. The only noticeable difference from a member perspective will be a new account settings page, which will open on a different URL from before. If you currently have TFA enabled, please note that you will need to re-enable TFA again after the maintenance period is over. Update August 17 Today, we were working on releasing our new account infrastructure. However, a critical issue relating to the high volume of requests was found. Until it can be resolved, we have reverted to the original system.

| more security is always welcome will this update the banning system somehow too? like partial banning? for example "youre banned from posting on the forums" but you can still use other features of the website and maybe add 2 username feature? one username for the login and one for the community username like forums? |
| Please answer deg he asked amazing questions! |

| Hopefully the new things will be a welcomed, good and needed things... and we don't lose info or something. nor does it turn into another MALpocalypse Looking forward to it. deg said: more security is always welcome will this update the banning system somehow too? like partial banning? for example "youre banned from posting on the forums" but you can still use other features of the website and maybe add 2 username feature? one username for the login and one for the community username like forums? Now, that would be amazing |
| What are some other planned backend features? Hopefully it includes something like alternate formatting for the forum, maybe like Markdown? That would be very cool if we could in account settings change our default format to markdown and then all new posts render in Markdown. |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
| Hopefully you can revert the review system change while you're at it, it's really bad. |

| Any chances of a Dark Theme in the near future? MAL is the only website that I consistently use which doesn't have a dark theme... |

MAL is the only website that I consistently use which doesn't have a dark theme... there exist third-party extensions that allow you to view the site in dark mode. granted, it would still be nice to have an already built-in feature. |

| Okay o7 |

Tiffanys said: Hopefully you can revert the review system change while you're at it, it's really bad. I agree, as I wrote in the topic of the previous update. If the new update makes it easier to make "good" changes then great. I'm just starting to worry that the site may take the visual direction of the biggest social networks, but I want to believe that you know what you're doing and the final result will be good. |

| good timing, I dont use MAL during those hurs =) |
| hello hello |
| Can't wait to see the update. I wonder how much will change. |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
| In two weeks ago hmmm? I can't wait a update and then I always Love a job.😊 |
 Anime-Planet.com - anime | manga | watch anime online |
| Let's hope that MAL regularly does backups and we won't experience something like an unexpected data loss, messed up lists and so on. Hope things will go smoothly and looking forward to the update |
| mobile device got dark theme but browser does not. so... mobile > pc  |
| In two weeks huh... Its okay, at least not in my birthday. I hope everything goes well! |

The new review system is very bad and looks bad. And i really dont wanna scroll through a wall of text to see the score of the review. |

| I can say that I use MAL every day, lucky for me because I don't use it during this maintenance period :> |
A N I M E I S L I F E !  |
| I had to have a look about what this Pacific Time was. Like I expected, it was something very US specific. Why not use the UTC, like most international companies do? |
| I hope they change the old score system most top sites like Netflix and steam use "yes" or "no" and the rating system from 0 to 10 is a disaster in 2022 and make users an endless fight to keep their entry in the top |
| Right in the middle of the day to late night for me, which is slightly inconvenient, but I'm sure this is for the greater cause, so I'll take it. I'll try and remember the date and time in my mind, but I am almost certain I'll still forget it when the time comes around xD. Thanks to all the mods ~ |

Also, Netflix just needs to know if ppl like the show to give new seasons, make spin-offs, etc, this is a user list, putting a yes or no that will lead to disaster, because you cant simplfy everything in yes or no |
| hmm, that's nice. I guess? |
 |
| thx for the info, let's take a look at the new settings page :) |

I said this system is better compared to others and has been proven by used by many big companies like Netflix and... I didn't say that yes or no is perfect, my point is that's the best choice for myanimelist to use in 2022 it seems like you don't know how the 1 from 10 system is inefficient last year, fruits basket got to number 4 in top animes by toxic fans (full story in youtube video you can watch with English sub) How to be a Toxic Anime Fan? + Anyone Can Mess With Myanimelist's Scoring System + English Subs even this animetuber to show how garbage this system is, requested from his fans to vote 10/10 for an unknown entry and they brought it from 6000 ranked to rank 12! (Unfortunately, the video is not English subbed so read the post down) Regarding the score a little community can mess a title in top rank so you can't say "yes or no" system is good... it's garbage and disaster |
| I think it's very considerate that you informed us way ahead the schedule, duly noted! |

Yes & No system is garbage for sure, you can't simplify things like that. Come on, a lot of people here ask for decimal rating system. Example of AniList is very useful. |
| Also please make allowed username length up to 22 characters. And bring back Dementia tag, goddammit! The most based tag it was, what bad evil it did to you? 😭 |
