| In an effort to better present notifications and alerts to you on MyAnimeList, we're pleased to announce the first release of our new combined Notifications system. The first phase of the new system will only incorporate your friend requests and a new, much requested feature: profile comments! The notification symbol (top right 'bell' icon) can maintain one of three states: Orange - You have new and unread messages. Blue - You have previously seen, but still unread messages. Light Blue - All your messages are marked as read. You can read/mark notifications by clicking on each individual item, clicking the checkmark next to the date, or by simply clicking "Mark All Read" (top right). A history of read notifications is kept for 30 days within each category (Profile Comments, Friend Requests) on the Notifications page. Please note that pending friend requests marked as "read" are removed if not dealt with before 30 days. We sincerely hope you find this new notifications system a benefit and improvement over the previous navigation bar implementation. We also appreciate your patience as we continue to add other areas of MAL to this new infrastructure. |

| Yay! MAL is making progress. I'm looking forward to more new features, hopefully ones that improve the users' database contribution experience. |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| Cool beans, it's what I always dreamed of for MAL. Seriously though, thank you this is pretty legit. |
| Now if we can only get it to notify us when someone disses on our waifu |
| See you in a year. Some progress tho. |
 |
| Cool, lots of new stuff recently. Not that I have the need to be notified for my nonexistent messages. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Can it notify about removed features as well? |

But yeah, thanks for the development! I doubt anyone will have complaints about this one. |
| Uwah, really nice new feature, thank you |

| Cool, I like this update. |
 |
| Awesome update! Thanks for the hard work guys! |
| Flashy notifications are basically drugs and the cynic in me despises them, but I can't wait for my next fix. Besides, this update is useful in that I know longer have to check my profile for comments — an activity that I definitely do not engage in anymore than is strictly necessary! So, thanks! |

| Hello Facebook :^) Thanks for the additions. It didn't show up since I'm using Stylish but after taking it off, I see it. |
| Amazing job! I'm looking forward to more updates from you guys! |
| This is pretty neat. Having these kinds of notifications might definitely come in handy. |

j0x said: how about adding notifications when someone reply on your own thread? or notify a user when other users quoted them? but thanks a lot, nice work again I want this as well :) You have the option of watching a thread but it sends you an e-mail which is annoying. Really really annoying at time. I would be more happy is someone quotes me and I get a notification but I guess that's impossible to implement Great stuff though. |
 I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons, if you were you wouldn't be on MAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Interesting idea, but I don't really see the point for it since I already get notifications through the little orange number right next to 'My Page'. |
| Reaction when I saw the bell button: OMG FORUM NOTIFICATIONS FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!11111111111111 THEY FINALLY HEARD US! Reaction when I read the notice: You're kidding, right?  |
| Lool what the heck? Am i psychic? I made a thread about something like this an hour before this was implemented... surely i cant be the reason this was made. But id sure like to think so lol |

| nice update |
 |
| now when will we get notification system when we comment to other's forum post or someone else quotes/reply my post ....can't count how many times i missed forum converstaion/i've have to keep refresing page just to see if some one has replied my post or not..just put it already as big as website like mal i'm surprised this hasn't happened up to now |
| Great update! |
| This is going to be really useful....nice update i like it :) |
 |
| Nice! Love it. TY :> |
| Im surprised when i saw it. Thanks ♥ |
| Awesome update! |
 |
| Looks really nice ^^ Can't wait to try it out. |
| Now I would love to have a notification every time someone quotes us in the forums. It'd be easier to know when someone wants to strike up a conversation or just say something to us. |
  |
| wait the search bar and anime tab are in the way is it just me? |

| Nice feature, really helpful Good work. |
 Tobacco Causes Severe Health Problems, Smoke Moderately While Respecting Others. |
| Kind of like Google's, eh? Really nice addition |
  |
| But why add notification corner when you already had it? and is there a way to disable it? |
 |
Xinil said: We sincerely hope you find this new notifications system a benefit and improvement over the previous navigation bar implementation. Nope. This just tramples all over my anti-social heart. |
| I like this update. Good job guys ^.^ |
| Now all we need is a pm system to be displayed alone side the notification system. |
 |
| Nice Feature but i still have no friends T_T |
 |
Malventrix said: Nice Feature but i still have no friends T_T You can always make a thread in that Newbie section and ask for some. xD Feel free to request me if you'd like. Anyways, cool feature! Now I don't have to check my profile every time to see if anyone commented. Thanks MAL staff. |

Crazy_Cofee_Cat said: and is there a way to disable it? As any other previous change: No, and it won't. |
| This is awesome. Also, is it somehow possible to make it so that we get notification when someone quotes our post ? That would be pretty neat. |
