you can upload your own banner (or what MAL calls Cover Image), see the screenshot of the option here http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1482719&show=50#msg44757274

For now I will stick with the old design because it is more convenient and thank you for not forcing us to use the new design right away.

I hope to see the following changes in the new design:
- More compact (smaller fonts, less white space/smaller tables) like in the old design
- Separate the categories on the All Anime page instead of just sorting by colours
- Load everything all at once instead of just first 300 entries

Great job MAL! This new list is a great improvement in my eyes for those of us who just wanted to use the default style. It offers some customization without having to re-invent everything.

I for one, love the images because now if I can't remember a show via the name on my PTW page, I can look at the image. Before I'd have to open up the show in a different tab. It was a major pain. Thanks :)

i do not have a smartphone and only using a old desktop computer with poor internet speed

if they provide an option then i hope they consider my case too

I see the necessity for lazy loading in case of lists with thumbnails. But how about deactivating it based on - if the user has deactivated the usage of thumbnails for the list or not?

ye that can be an option too, but its more better if there is a global option to disable or enable lazy loading for the lists since custom or user designed lists might be affected by lazy loading too

I'm glad the HTML in the new template is way better than the old one. However, I won't consider switching until CSS customization is ready.

The headings in the All Anime view in the old template were nice. In the new template, unless you know what the colours mean, it's not clear which is in what state. If I were a newcomer, I'd assume that the whole thing is a list of completed series, maybe with some currently watching. Additionally, it's highly recommended (and the WCAG requires it) that you don't rely on colour alone to convey information.

Looks nice, giving it a go because why not? :) Might revert back to my old one at some stage though, mainly because I feel like it was easier to view than this new one (and still used to the old one haha). The old one was more compact (less white spaces?) though the new style fits in with the new profiles more :)
However, the one thing that bugs me is not having the "currently watching" list up the top as soon as the page loaded..

did you forget about the 'home' & 'end' buttons on your keyboard? or were you referring to mobile?

I heard a tale such keys existed once but their alleged location remains a mystery to me.

Seriously though, Ctrl + F > MAL's search. Using the search box causes the page to be reloaded (like I already mentioned before) which results in a lot of wasted time. Add to that having to scroll to see anything beyond 300 entries and some people will be wasting even more time trying to do anything with their lists. You know MAL screwed something up when I have to use Taiga (aka external app) to find entries faster.


I honestly have no clue what you're dealing with, but for me, the search function works flawlessly. Are you perhaps confused with the old design?

With the new design, if you use CTRL+F, you need to keep scrolling down to the end of the list first, which is quite annoying if you have more than 300 entries. With the search function, you can easily find the show you want, without having to load the whole list. And the search bar comes up immediately if I click on the magnifying glass, so I see no reason to not switch over.

You didn't understand. What he said is that using CTRL+F in the old list, he can search any name and find it in less than a second.
With the new list, he needs to use the search function, which will reload the page to show his search results, consuming more time.

And as I said a lot of times, we can go to any part of our list with CTRL+F simply by searching any name. If I want to see my titles starting with letter P or any other letter near it, I just need to use CTRL+F and search for "Pokemon". This way I'll see everything near "Pokemon"... while that's impossible in the new list thanks for the 300 limit, and using the search function will only give you specific results. To see my list near "Pokemon", only if I scroll down and down and down...

There's a lot of reasons to not switch over.

I think compared to previous basic designs is better but we need our customization.
Hell i hope they can make it even more customizable.

Customizing our lists and creating those awesome designs was what made Mal lists so awesome. If we take out of that it will be a crime.

Looked at all the preview. The header is kinda huge. I also agree with a earlier comment about changing "currently watching" to "watching". Apart from that, the preview are nice.

I am perplexed about that white/yellow theme though. It's fun to have options, but this one is just painful to look at.

Anyway, I think I'll wait for more customization before switching, but I think it's a good start.

Honestly, I'm not a fan of the new mobile design. The blue icons on the left of each image are annoying. Not that the mods will change the new look from my opinion alone but still, it was fine the way it was before. I liked looking at the entire image with nothing on it. It's way more satisfying to look at. Would be nice if we had an option to view the old design on the mobile version too. As for the desktop, thank you for giving us the option to keep the old design. Please continue to allow us to choose if we want to switch rather than forcing MAL users to something they may not want.

The new list design is pretty bad. The banner at the top is ridiculously large. Having images next to the titles is not something I want, it's a waste of bandwidth that serves no purpose other than to vastly increase the amount of vertical space consumed. The "all anime" tab is rendered largely useless. Instead of having everything nicely broken out and labeled with the stats for each available, the lists are unhelpfully smashed together, the separate stats are inaccessible from that page, and the labels are removed. The 300 entry limit is crap to put it politely, and likely exists solely to mask the increased bandwidth and processor time consumed by loading the title thumbnail images. Certainly there's no other reason to incompletely load the lists when they could be completely loaded with no issue before.

All in all it's a regression of function for the sake of putting some thumbnails next to the titles. I will not be using it, and I recommend you never force people to use it.

Going back to classic.

The white space is too much on the left.
The list doesn't have a white space between watching and completed series
The whole design was made for mobile and tablets rather than desktop which I feel it should be separate design.
Jumping out from the list to profile feels like it has lost the design flow. It's like going from modern to classic and modern again.

I only like the images in the new list design other than that I rather have https the login page for now.

Do tell! :)

"IF" they will not manage to give as many editing options before they remove the old one, i was thinking of moving to aniDB
it is very cryptic, complex and much less user-friendly than mal, but it has some editing options i never ever dreamed i needed, with those and a bit of patience i can shape my list and pages as i want with no need to use scripts or stylish extensions

Two suggestions for the new list style:

-Make it so that if you turn off images, it doesn't only load 300 or so entries and instead just loads the full list so people who want a faster load can just turn them off.
-On the all anime list, have an option to separate into distinct charts the "plan to watch/watching/watched/dropped/on-hold" sections the way the old style separated them.
agree on both, expecially being able to load the full list if the images are off

It's not much of a hassle, but this whole update is just a bunch of slight downgrades. Not to mention that the new design doesn't even load past 300 entries. And this comes from a person with a fiber connection...

I really dislike this.
Luckily, I managed to get back the normal design in time.

NEVER CHANGE A WORKING SYSTEM!

The normal "classic" design is just fine.
It's what people are used to.
Don't just change that without warning!
It's like someone rearranging all the furniture in your house.

The normal "classic" design is fast to use and easy to understand, we don't want that new "modern design".
