Did someone just ad a counter to notification now??? It's displaying 0 near it even though it should say 1 with the 1 new notification I got.

Looks great, but it will take some getting used to. The notifications are still the best thing ever for me though. I really love them.

My muslce memory will probably make me try and click where the old profile button was for years to come but eventually I'll get used to it.
I still automatically move my cursor to the left for my watched topics even though it's been on the right now for a couple of months.

It looks nice, but it'll probably take awhile to adjust. I'm used to heading to the top-left of the page instead of the top-right for my profile stuff.

I do not really complain much but seriously why are peeps at MAL changing the looks instead of site functionality ??

The code for the anime list is big as anything, plus a single row of anime added is single table. ( I do not know much about coding but yeah,... the code is lame)

You need massive revamp on the forum side.
* quick edit does not work to override other peoples posts even if you are an admin of the club etc.
* bad polling function. Allow multiple choice + ability to change and/or reset the poll
* thread locking feature for admins in clubs etc

Better invest your time on these things.
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

yep its displaying an orange zero when it should be 1 or more already

must be a bug/error on the code or the update is still not finished?

For those annoyed by the moving of the profile button as a temp fix you can download the "switcheroo" app from the chrome store. And swap "http://myanimelist.net/panel.php" to your userpage ("http://myanimelist.net/profile/Itazuragaki") then pressing the MAL logo takes you to your profile:

This is kind of like a whatever update for me, sure just I'll be going back to my club now.

I still would like some indication though that the tabs are mine
"My" Clubs
"My" Reviews
"My" Profile

Especially if you look at it in a new user perspective.
They see two different clubs and two different reviews
They already overwhelmed as is.
Will they make the right connection? Psychologically I'm not sure.

Mine is blue sometimes and orange others to where it does not even seem to mean anything. Maybe they are not done but I dont get why they would try to do these updates on the site itself without testing it first.

Better update than the new forum overview page, but all these recent changes seem more cosmetic than practical (seriously that snail search engine drives me nuts), and in the long run the best way to make everyone happy is to find a way to provide classic MAL at the same time as revamped MAL. I know a Japanese dictionnary site that does that (denshi jisho), having two adresses and all, but now that's quality service (feeling less shoved down the throaty). Still missing the stat bars in the old profile tbh.

God this is such a pain in the ass. I click Profile a couple dozen times every time I'm on MAL and now I have to get use to this change.

Also notifs are bugged, they're still displaying as unread.

The placing. I'd prefer if my Profile button was right back where it was, so I wouldn't have to navigate left to right repeatedly when I'm browsing the forums. Just add the tab again, you can even keep the hybrid MALBook buttons. Bring. Back. The. Tab.

One of the things I've always loved about MAL was how simple the UI is. Every update makes it worse and worse and at this point I don't feel right suggesting the site to friends. It would be lovely if there was an option for us to use the classic layout.

Waiting for someone to make userscript to atleast bring back the profile button on the header but maybe that's not possible.


You can now click your avatar to get to your profile. One click away.
the main problem people have is that it already was one click away in the first place, only now its hiding in a corner.

Nice update. A shame that you guys removed the 'edit profile' button on the drop down menu. That actually helped me edit my profile quicker than just going all the way to my profile to click it. But whatever. It's not a big deal. I'll just have to go my profile all the time now.

Keep up the good work.

My reaction was very mild this time compared to the sudden profile layout change. I'll get used to it much more quickly.

Thanks for this , i won't say it was that necessary but it's always nice to get new stuff . it will take some time to get used to it because it sure feels weird to not have the "Profile" section next to the "Anime" one . so far , i can't really say if it's as practical as it was before

Yeah, now it takes double the amount of clicks to get to "My" Clubs now.
So if I click my "My" Clubs 50 times yesterday. It takes me 100 times today.
That isn't an improvement. That is making things more tedious.
You could of at least made it so that when you hover over your name that it scrolls down like you do with the 6 options you have on the left side.
Where it was before.

For those making a big deal out of having to click twice to get to your profile (omg, end of the world -.-), if you still only want to click once, just click on your profile picture that's next to your username. It'll take you straight to your profile.

Exactly.....so if you want to only use one click like before, click your profile picture, rather than bringing down the drop menu thing.
