Update June 30th
The issues with the Last Completed section should be fixed! Thank you for your patience.
Winners for the giveaway have been drawn and will be contacted in the next ~24 hours or so by PM on MAL~

Update June 19th
It seems there are some problems with the Last Completed logic. Please give us a bit of time, the tech team is investigating.




Have you ever wanted to create a fancy about me profile layout like some of the community's best designers, but don't have the time or skills to use an image editor? Tired of slicing and dicing images to get all the BBCode links you want added?

This new feature is for you!

To create a nice profile design, all you need to do is:
  1. Choose a template
  2. Add some text
  3. Drag and drop some images from your computer or upload from mobile
  4. ... and save! No BBCode required.
Complete as many or as few fields as you like to give a different look-and-feel to the same design.

Try out the feature before June 27 @ 6PM Pacific Time and you'll be entered into a random giveaway to win 3 months of MAL Supporter!

We plan to add some additional features and more templates soon, so give it a whirl and let us know what you think~





Notes:
  • Your classic BBCode About Me will be saved in your profile settings, so you can always go back to your old profile layout later, if you like.
  • We also aren't planning on depreciating the classic About Me, so don't worry about that.
  • The new About Me design should appear nicely on all devices: desktop, mobile, and also in-app!
  • You can get quickly between your profile and the About Me Design editor on desktop using the top-right links.
    We'll be considering how to make this easier on mobile, too.

Cool. It looks like a nice addition!

Is the mal supporter reward for the twitter giveaway also given on the 27th?

I tried it out and personally didn't like it but I'm very glad that you guys give us new design choices and I'm looking forward to seeing some awesome profiles in the future.

are there any plans to either extend the length of the primary text box, or give the option to create your own text boxes? i would like to list the synopses i've written for mal rewrite under a dropdown, but the character limit prevents me from doing so. when i try to copy and paste from my profile, i am more than 4000 characters over the limit

edit: other than that i think this is great! though it would benefit from more template options, though i assume that is just because it is still in beta

Hopefully I can create something to my satisfaction while keeping everything I want from what I already have. Yeah, not really... not bad though.

Looks interesting, so gonna try it out.

Important question tho, are there plans to allow text formatting on the descriptions (text boxes)?

Also, what about allowing us to preview before saving the changes?
and something regarding the cropping of the images....

and a way to change one ranking to another spot (like ranking 1 to ranking 3)



@Kineta

For the giveaway, do we have to keep it until the dates or just testing it's fine?

A decent feature

a tutorial type of video is appreciated so that we can try the feature to the fullest as it not clear what does what as of now.

This is kinda cool ngl, but what we need(probably other ppl who are using mal on desktops ) is an option to different kinds of dark mode.

Love this new profile design!!

Ok, I guess. My "about me" wicked mist likely still remain mostly empty. The wait for dark mode continues...

Trying it out and I wonder how the "watching this season/last completed" section" works. It just empty.

Very interesting feature!
I tried it and I wonder what else will it include in the future (more customizable stuff maybe? Imo I would add bbcode or similar there too, just for those who want a cool layout but with a little more text personalization. Idk if that’s possible, tho).
I noticed that the “watching this season” is empty but I’m guessing it’s a bug or something since this was just released.

Oi oi oi! The design is nice. And a great feature. Cause I don't really use the BBC code thing it's kinda complicated. I hope we can also add the gifs and more features like the old one.

If there'll be more option available I'll probably use it, but why does the "last completed anime" section only show what I completed one month ago?
Also, if this kind of feature would be available with manga too, it would be great.
Thanks for the new feature, this will probably very useful to a lot of users.

it a great idea, but i will be good to let us choose how the pictures will look in the ranking lists. I want in all lists the pictures to be cropped the same, instead one circle, one landscape and one portrait.
Also when we chose the theme it will be better the theme to be on the whole page instead on only a part. I use black theme but it looks kinda ugly to see a part black and then everything white

I don't know if there's something wrong or I'm the one who did it wrong but, when I logged out from this account and try the feature in another account, I can't use the feature there--when I tried to modify it, the theme was applied in this account instead.

Anyway, I think this update is very cool. I can play around with BB code but not with editing layout so this one is really useful for me :D

yeah, I meant more the whole ranking.
For example, at first I did my first one as Ranking 1, but it wasn't what I wanted there with the circle cropping... but to change it to Rank 2, I had to do the whole adding pics again. Would have been nicer to just be able to do the drag&drop thing from one ranking to another (or something simpler)
