The custom tags are broken.
By that i mean the links are broken.
For example, in my list I hit the tag "comedy" on an anime that I'm currently watching
my entire list is still displayed instead of all the anime i have tagged with "comedy"
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Metroid_Ex&tag=Comedy

Noticed it on Saturday after you implemented the new list settings Friday night. During this time it redirected to my watching list. Anyways, it's still broken even though you brought back the Show All function. If you could fix this it would be greatly appreciated.

People aren't "flipping out" over this because this will be fixed soon and probably made better.

Made better? Hmmmm. I've heard that one before. I hope making it better doesn't mean doing it in Java in some way where I can't directly link to a tagged list like we used to be able to do, because the URL stays the same in the new way.

This post is another vote for "this is annoying but I'll wait and see"

I am also having the same problems with my list tags.

I do like the search bar, though. It's a nice touch.

When clicking on a tag in order to only view titles with the chosen tag on my list, it doesn't work. It changes my URL by adding &tag= but it doesn't do anything.

It is "wait patiently, it will either fix itself, or someone will do something in next few months" answer. :)

As much as I hate to admit it, that's probably the case for things like this and not being able to edit manga/anime history T_T

Hey, I know you guys say you're going to replace tags with something "better", but until you actually do that, can you please put the old system back the way it was. It's getting bothersome not being able to filter a list down with a tag category now.

Having the same problem in Firefox 3.6.4 and IE 7 (all script and ad blocking are disabled). Please fix this bug - it is quite the handy feature when it works, and is one of the main reasons I liked this site, thanks in advance.

Yes, it's been what.. over two months now? Between tags not working and "show all" being completely disabled for larger lists, my list is now completely unusable. Why bring back show all (for only some), yet kill off one of the most useful filtering options on our list? I see no difference in site performance, other than usability being crippled.

Oh, comeon, Xinil, Kineta! Is it really so troublesome to inform us with a few words like 'we are aware about this issue and plan to fix it soon' or 'we intend to leave it how it is'? This feature is really missed, but well, not knowing what to expect is even worse.

Well x4m, considering it's in the "Read this before posting" thread and I believe was in an announcement thread, yes we are aware of it :)

I understand that this is a really important feature for some people. Unfortunately, we've been having some other problems that have been taking priority over fixing this one. It is on the list and will be seen to as soon as possible. Please be patient for a while longer.

Also, please note: I do not develop the site nor fix bugs.

I haven't forgotten about this, trust me, shinkeikaku won't let me :P But you see the horrendous lag affecting the rest of the site? We're kind of trying to deal with that at the moment. For now, that's taking priority.

@siutou: No, the code is not open source. If you see the team page, you'll note that we have one coder.

No it's my turn... PUSH

Please do something about that feature...

I've never noticed any huge laggs or slow loading so far, but tags not working is a big issue in my oppinion.
And as I as a programmer know, fixing this shouldn't be such a huge problem...

I'm all for repairing the tag function, but if you haven't noticed any lags than that's maybe because you only have 2 posts in the forum so far. They are there, they are huge and I can't complain if that takes priority. But the second priority should be the tags :P
I probably regret this post by now.

Yes, I realize there is only one coder - which is why I am offering to help.... and I'm sure there is more than just one person on MAL who codes and could also help. But I guess we can't do much if the code is unavail...

I've waited some time hoping it will be fixed, but it seamed that the feature is not at a high priority.
So I decided to put together some JavaScript...

This is a userscript, which you can add to your browser to enable specific processing to MAL animelist and mangalist pages.
The script is cross-browser. I've personally tested it on Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and Midori, both on Windows and Linux, and it worked excellent. IE doesn't have userscript support without installing some really buggy add-ons, so I do not consider it. Also, I don't have a Mac, so I was unable to check if it works on Safari, but version for Windows draws with itself the whole QuickTime framework with stuff, and I definitely don't want to deal with that sh*t. So if someone will check and report on Safari it would be appreciable.

Here is the script: http://pastebin.com/zBTGiuQd
outdated, please use the latest version here: http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=33957

It does everything, except, of course, does not update the category stats beneath each table. Those will still be shown for all entries in the category. Though I don't really know how this was working in the original feature, since I joined when it was already broken.


Now if you don't know how to enable:

In Firefox:
1. Install «Greasemonkey» extension.
2. Create a new script using it.
3. Replace all of its content with this scripts content, and save.
4. Don't forget to turn on Greasemonkey.
p.s.: Or just click on the link in this post after installing GM.

In Opera:
1. Press Ctrl+F12.
2. Go to «Advanced» tab.
3. Go to Content --> JavaScript Options.
4. Chose «User Javascript folder».
5. Place the script into chosen folder.

In Google Chrome:
1. Open the script with Google Chrome.
2. Install it.

In Midori:
1. Go to Tools --> Userscripts.
2. Press «Add» in the side panel.
3. A window will appear telling you the location to place scripts.
4. Place the script in that folder.
5. Restart Midori.


The script will only work on MAL list pages, so it will not affect performance of other pages at all.

Please post if it works for you or not.


Version 1.2 Changes:

Mod Edit: Replaced dead link to the script with a working link (version 1.2).

Looks solid to me... is the conditional regex the only way to do it cross-browser -- I thought you can just specify the effected urls in the header. Anyhow, nice work.

In firefox, you just need to install GM and click your link.

Yes, as far as I know the includes in the header only work in firefox and chrome.

Hmm, the script doesn't work terribly well when your default status isn't "Show All" or when you only want to see tags in one category like "Completed". Is there any way to fix that? Maybe something that changes the links to include the statuses?
