The site's name is MyAnimeList, so I can't understand why you are hiding my anime list from me. I logged on and looked around for regular link, only to find it was gone. I had to guess that it was hidden under a picture (so that illiterates can easily find a way to read their list? I don't know) only to get the annoying sensation of "Ha, ha! Not yet!" as another step was required to get to the list.

Others have suggested having the drop down menu appear if you hover over the icon, and I could accept the change better with that. I realize it's a split second and I'll get used to it in a few days, but "We want to be like everybody else" seemed like a poor excuse for a change that was unneeded and annoying.

How do I fix this business? I can't see my "Anime List" because the search bar is covering it up. :/

Are you running a userscript?

Can you add a fixed header position, so that the header always stays on top?

This would be a neat addition.

Tbh I dont understand why the profile button settings are put on the right side of the screen, when 90% of the website's navigation is put on the left side of the screen. It kinda makes for an inconsistent lay-out.

This will take some time getting used to since I have no influence over the designs this webiste makes. Personally, I feel it's irrelevant however.

THE INNER ME WANTS MY PROFILE BUTTON BACK! -_-

I'm actually quite happy with only clicking the profile pic to get to your Profile. For me personally, it was a little troublesome to have to double click everything to get to where I needed to.
Then again, just simply hovering over the header tabs instead of clicking them would be a nice addition overall.
All in all, I guess I'll just get used to it. Not gonna fret about it so much.

All these changes should come with an option to choose whether you want them or if you just want to stick to the old format.
What's the point of this, anyway? How is this an upgrade? Where is the usefulness in changing the position of the icons and having to click more buttons to reach our lists?
"One step closer" to what? Facebook? Because that's what it's starting to look like. I swear to God, for each update, I need a new userscript to kiss these changes goodbye.

On the other hand, not all is useless. Removing the blog link was a good thing since there were two buttons. Other previous changes were also fine like revamping the statistics and anime stats in our profiles.

In the end, what is most annoying is that these changes just pop-up without any previous warning or poll/opinion from the users who have to deal with these changes. Seriously, this has been a complaint for such a long time that I'm actually surprised it's never been addressed! A poll in the forums should be opened with the changes that are about to be made, asking what we think of them and what should be improved.

What?
They removed the bars which reflected amount of shows/time spent and only added amount of rewatches while vomiting ugly colors all over the profile and introducing colorful bar which tells absolutely nothing. They moved about me section above stats, defeating the purpose of the site. Favorites, instead of being on a side, now became main part of the profile and take huge amount of the space. What's more, you actually see LESS favorites because anything above 5 is hidden. Moreover they removed "edit" button from recent entries in that update. How was anything of that "fine"?

Sorry about that. I use a userscript that allowed me to move those things back where I wanted to and completely forgot about that. Though I did like the color change when an anime is completed, on-hold, watching, etc.

It would be better if we were allowed to edit/reorganize the menu itself, like we're able to do with our lists and panel.
To give options is better than impositions.

I honestly don't get what the big fuss about this is. Everything that was in the profile tab is right there on the top right of the page. Is it really that hard for people to get used to? Of course, I know what I say is meaningless to those who treat myanimelist as if it was their own life being altered by some evil third party.

Possibly, yes. It can conflict. Try turning it off and then refreshing the page. If it fixes itself, then the userscript was the problem.

I feel as though the header is back-to-front. The username should be on the left, the avatar should be before the username, inbox should be after username, list links should be after inbox and the notification thing should be after the list links.

I love how the changes are being implimented slowly! It makes the transition easier for users and it also enables the system to work better in my opinion. When you update everything at once people get confused and often the website can get lagged down by all the new structuring that has been put into place. This happened to another website that I use and it barely works on my computer anymore!

I also do really love the new design that is being used for this site. It looks excellent!

Why is the "Lists" button so far away from the center?! Do you undestand this is, well, _my-anime-list_ right? It's way more important for me to manage my list, that's the point of the site after all... I would liike to say "keep the good work" but this is just nonsense, feels like it was designed by a forum freak that only sh*tposts.

fuss about moving menu, making said menu look like another site's menu.
it won't be difficult to get used to it, but it is a bit tasteless.
