AniList Site Update - May 2018 - Feedback Here!

Josh
After almost a years work on our new Api and a few months in beta the new AniList is here Completely rebuilt from the ground up : We didnt have time to fix all the issues brought in the beta but will continue to work on them and new new issues going forward. A few things to mention: Make sure to disable Kuwabaras dark stylish theme as it causes some issues on the new site. You can enable the native dark theme in the footer. Favorites on user profiles are now limited to 25 per section on the profile overview page. But you can still view them all and reorder them in the favorites subpage. Browser Support As were making use of some newer web technologies some older browsers are no longer supported so make sure to update your browser to the following versions or above: Chrome 58+ Firefox 54+ MS Edge 41+ EdgeHtml 16+ Safari 10.1+ iOS Safari 10.3+ Visual list customization In this update weve decided to take a step back on visual list customization options that being for both the list theme editor and custom CSS support in the legacy lists. Were instead deciding to concentrate on making the default lists as good as they can be and as featurerich as possible. Once we feel weve reached that stage well reevaluate the demand for more visual customization options and put the time and effort into them that they deserve. We arent completely removing all visual list customization options with this update however just bringing them back to their basics and streamlining the options we currently have 3 themes to choose from and a profile color option which also affects your lists. Theme Editor 60 of active users are on the default lists with no visual customizations made at all with a further 30 having made minor changes such as picking a theme or changing the background. That leaves only 10 of active users who made full use of the theme editor. This tells us 2 things first that the large majority of users are happy with the default lists with some minor customization such as choosing a theme or base color and second that our theme editor probably wasnt easy enough to make full use out of. We want to make sure the default lists are the best they can be as thats what the majority of users will be using and its clear that if we want to make all of those extra options available and actually useful we need to spend more time on them to get them right. Legacy Lists Custom CSS Legacy lists are now only used by less than 2 of active users and as they have a host of issues such as lacking almost any mobile support opening up security issues causing an inconstant user experience and being next to impossible for us as the sites developers to change or improve upon weve decided to end support for legacy lists with this update. I hope you like the update obviously weve still got work to do so if youre not a fan of some of the changes feel free to comment below and well work on getting them sorted. Please post any bugs or issues here.
