Here. If you want old MAL back, sign the petition here and tell the reason why should MAL come back to its old design.

Simply no rude comment, just tell the reason. You need to respect our precious site owner too for his great effort into this.

This 'update' is atrocious. Taking that nice side panel with all those options and turning into this crap makes me quite unhappy.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

The giant logo is obnoxious and the drop-down menus are not as efficient as the previous version. Navigation sucks.

No offense to the hard work done, but
The panel was so much easier to use, and auto-login!

Simplicity is key.

New layout is very uncomfortable for me. Old one was better.

the old design was very simple and quick to use whereas this new one requires more time and effort to navigate through the same amount of pages. there used to be single clicks to modify account information or to view certain subjects but now users have to scrolls through new navigation bars and the like.
it is also more annoying that the main navigation bar is at the top. although it looks a lot more professional it just isn't 'for the masses'. what about people with wider screens or small screens? it's just too slim now and the new 'extra room' given by the layout just isn't needed.

the old design was definitely preferred. maybe by incorporating the new design with the simplicity and ease of the first layout with the style and professionalism of the new layout MAL will become a sanctuary!

i hope others can agree with me when i say that the old design was much better

Ahoy!

This new layout looks like facebook and I hate "fakebook's" layout. The logo is too huge and the easy navigation from the sidebar is gone. This layout is also way too vertical for my widescreen monitor :/

The navigation is horrible. Drop-down menus are a no-no for me. I was happy that MAL didn't have this yet... but now it has changed. I'm glad for the effort that was made but it really was unnecessary. Really.
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls.

It's not really that horrible. It might be just because we're not used to it.
But for me, simplicity is beauty. And the old layout is really easy to use and much much more quicker.
And my eyes are not used to MAL's wideness. O__O
It causes eyestrain for me -___-

:Dv

This doesn't look like a Facebook layout. Just because the color is almost the same doesn't mean that it has the same layout. Facebook has no navis. MySpace does.
O___O

I concur entirely. The side bar made navigation so much simpler and quicker than these popdown menus.

The old layout was simple. I don't want to hover, find, THEN click. But, I kinda got used to it.
"Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be the one.
Born to bear and read to all
The details of our ending.
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen,
Shit the bed again,
Typical."
