Tonight I updated the database configuration for all member lists. During this update there was a period of about 20 minutes where lists 'lost' their styles. This should be fixed.

Manga lists got a ton of 'features' that anime lists had always had. You can check them out here: http://myanimelist.net/editprofile.php?go=listpreferences

One noticeable feature is the ability to 'hide' sections in your list now.

There are a small group of users that will see "User Does not Exist" when they first view their anime/manga list. If you see this, refresh the page and it should go away.

Wallpaper configuration is being reworked. This should be back online soon.

Anime/Manga pages had some HTML changes on them (shouldn't be noticeable). If you see something odd on one of those pages, please let me know.

Yay for updates but I'm getting a MySQL error when I try to edit anything in My List Settings.

Am I the only one with this problem? :<

I don't know how to explain this..
But here goes~
I have my Anime list set up so it only shows my Currently Watching when you first go to it, but it shows the On-Hold instead.. But when you click 'Show All', it goes back to the original order.. :/

As far as I can tell everything is working correctly. Make sure you set the correct "Default Status Selected."

Yeah, that happened to me too. The settings just reset themselves.

Thanks, I'm really happy about the manga list updates!

However, the background I've had up until now has disappeared... is this to do with the wallpaper configuration?

I have a similar problem. I had my lists set to display current watching and current reading by default and nothing else. Now when I visit my list pages it displays everything. I tried re-applying the same settings and it ended up working after the second time I applied it.

Edited never mind it only works for the anime list. the manga list still shows everything even when I set its default to show only "reading".

While looking at the new list options I noticed my list was set to the American Date option (MM-DD-YY), so I changed it to the european option (DD-MM-YY) which I was using before. However everytime I set it then view my list, the dates are still "the wrong way" and going back to the list settings it has defaulted back to American style. My list dates are now currently confusing me because they are all "backwards"

Thanks for the updates. Just asking, are you still working on the wallpaper settings? Or not, since my wallpaper won't show. It seems like that with everyone's though. Thanks for the notification too, because when I looked on my llist, I tried over and over to fix it, and it looked different, and thankfully it got explained here. Overall, thanks for this! I look forward to fully using all the new features! :) (It takes me awhile to learn this sort of thing when there are new features XD)

I was always asking myself why there was a days count for manga... It doesn't have a fixed time like anime does... some people read faster than others.

Thanks for the update

My list-wallpapers are gone. I reuploaded them but it's still all black. I just checked and it seems like I can't see other peoples' list wallpapers either. I also tried re-selecting the Yes for "Show Wallpaper" but that didn't work either.

Yesterday evening it worked and now I wake up without them. Unless I woke up in the middle of the night, sleepwalked to my laptop and blocked the wallpapers... I can only assume it's connected to the update that happened to take place while I was asleep.

Edit:
To the poster above me, yay, I'm not alone. XD

Ah I'm really happy about this. I always was cursing when loading my mangalist and waiting for so many Plan-to-read entries to load also. XD.
Yay! ^-^

I was wondering about this as well...

Some time in the past 6 hours, stats in the footer of my and other anime lists have disappeared. In addition, the "Days: XX.X" after each section of the anime list has no number for XX.X.

I tried hiding my "Dropped" manga section and it disappears but the tabs at the top still show "Dropped" and not "Plan to Read".
My Manga list
There also appears to be a rather large gap between "On-Hold" and "Plan to Read" when I hit "Show All", I don't know if that is only my list.

Very nice updates though.

Ok, so wallpapers will be back sometime later. Good ^^.
But I have one more problem I noticed....
I had opacity set to 80%, but now when I set it like that again, it doesn't change ;o. Does it work only with wallpaper under or should it change even when walls are still worked on?

Either way, good that site is updated ^^. Altho seeing all my settings gone and my used "not being there" startled me. But I guess everything will be back when updates are finished ^^.
Good Job!

If for some urgent reason you can't wait to get your background image again though, you could upload it to a different place (imageshack, Photobucket, etc.) and stick the image address into the CSS codes for your lists.

Ah, I already wondered why my background wasn't working for some time. This explains it. I also like the hide function, as I don't actually want to show my dropped list, lol. Guess that there are still some bugs, but I think it's already fine that we have some new features! ^.^

Great updates but that what I longed for at the most wasn't there xD

Grand Totals are still missing with the mangalist. I'm not caring how much life I spend on them, I want to know how many volumes I have lying around here in my room without summing up the totals by myself.

My Default on my Anime List was "currently Watching" + "plan to watch"
but now I can't use it as a default, unless I chosse "show all"
and hide "completed", "on hold" & "dropped" (which is meaningless
for a public list)
