Eh, it's something I wanted to do for years now, and nothing has come of it. I don't think you have much to worry about.

There are some places on the web that have an old retro design that seems almost sacred now.

Don't mess with it, the tosho cool af as it is, and anyone who disagrees with that is a total fud that should be ignored

Nooooooooooo

No redisign

I already feel nostalgic when the funny old colour schemes roll around every (3?) months

No redesign, ever.

Please.

Thanks for the info.

I think that article focuses mostly on organisations/businesses. There's a common thread in programming where newbie developers struggle to understand a code base (or the intricacies of why it's complex), so are likely to recommend rewrites when they're not appropriate - the article is likely targeting that demographic.
This doesn't really fit here, as I'm the one who's written all the code, so I'm well aware of its shortcomings. So nothing to worry about :)

Thanks for the info.
My intention wasn't really to change the way the site works much. AT is a mirror, and I intend to keep the main listing similar to how sites like Nyaa do it.
There's certainly UI tweaks that could be made, and various cleanups in the backend code which would be nice to have.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I think the biggest thing is whether people are motivated to donate time for such a project, seeing as I can't really offer anything in return.

Yeah, Scrape-ddl works great and redesign using some javascript-desert would need some api mode to preserve this option.

Please don't "update" the site just to update it. From an end-user perspective here's nothing wrong with it.
https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04...do-part-i/ has some insight on total rewrites.

In terms of the user experience:

1. There are four ways that people use this site to download that I can think of:
Click-ddl, Click-torrent, Scrape-ddl, RSS.  For scrape ddl, the current plain text setup is ideal.  Face-paint of various kinds could make it worse, certainly not better.  For RSS, I don't know if there's anything within reach to offer them.  For the clickers, I don't think you can't really help or hurt them.

2. I appreciate that AT hasn't tried to squeeze into the spaces of MAL, AniDB, etc.  There should continue to be a place for those sites.  I don't think users are looking for more functionality than AT already has.


If a re-write would be about make it easier for admin to admin and what effort that would be worth, I don't know.


P.S. Maybe enforcers are drawn to bust slick sites first.

I'd suggest maybe get a group together and use Laravel (a framework) for rewriting the site. Did this once for a company and it was very easy to use as all basic stuff is already there. You could let other users do this by uploading the current website to a github or any other VCS, then there is easy to see what pieces of info from the DB you use where.

As I said it's just a suggestion, and you can just it however you want. Really like this site but it sure could be easier on the eyes and maybe easier to find different functions as it expands.

Thanks for the offer.
This site is completely custom (no framework) and doesn't use Bootstrap. Not sure what you mean by 'blades' (a Bootstrap thing?).
The code here is rather old and unwieldy, so I've had the idea of a complete rewrite in the air, but it seems like a daunting task which I don't really have the spare time for unfortunately. If others are willing to do most of it, I could coordinate something, but I'm not sure there's that much interest.

Solidfiles re-enabled, thanks for pointing that out!

@admin: What framework are you using for the site backend? Check out bootstrap, if you can edit the blades.. new user here but I could help with some UX design.

hi admin,

Solidfiles appears to be working again.  It would be a welcome return, if they've settled their problems.

Dang, Google got to you first, huh?
You should've gone with Apple instead...

It can't be helped, the bots here use souls as fuel.

Save yourself!  Don't join!  Now dogs hate me and automatic doors don't open for me anymore.

I think that question is a screen. --anyone who takes it seriously shouldn't be here.

Hi can you change the agreement, cause this is no joke.

I hereby grant my soul, can you remove that please so i can join.

Thanks for the suggestion, though I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly.
Do you have anything specific in regards to suggested CSS?
I'm not sure what you mean by external stylesheets, interactive experiences or user-friendly buttons.

Turbobit.net is still available from the MultiUp link.

Isn't there a way to upload new releases on turbobit like before?

visit the Erai website.  There's a note on it.

ripped from VRV

Anyone know what Erai vrv versions are?  I know what Verve is but is that what they are? Erai has so many versions of each episode. Is it better quality or just another version?  
Thanks

Colors current available in left panel by Styles drop-down menu.

Speed of page reloads trumps all.

Taking advantage of the CSS Grid or a Flexbox layout for search results would be more visually appealing to an average viewer by having a more "airy" layout.  Implementing a (possibly external) stylesheet that would allow for a more interactive experience, such as the use of user-friendly buttons would make the site more easy to use. Adding preset site themes on the left panel would allow the end-user to change colors if they do not like the current theme.

Thanks. It's a different issue, but I've fixed the missing NZBs.

EDIT: If it can help, the files seem to have been uploaded successfully to the newsgroup (at least those I checked) it's just the NBZ file that seems missing.

Thank you it seems back to normal now. However I don't know if it's related or not but there seem to be a lot of missing NZB today.

Thanks for the info. I think it's probably the performance issues plaguing the secondary webserver recently. Rebooted it now, hopefully works better.

It seems that the secondary webserver was having weird performance issues, so thanks for letting me know.
Rebooted it, seems to be working better than before.

Same things for NBZ it's not down but it seems pretty slow since yesterday

works for me

The storage links for subtitle attachments seems to be down. Getting 504 gateway timeouts consistently since yesterday or so.
