Screenshot Assistance:
lifeiscrazy said:
Hi guys!

As we all know, it's super duper important to have your username shown on screenshots @ MAL for Official AWC. But, for myself, with my petite 13 inch laptop, I always struggled to screenshot the stats far below, along with my username up top.

Why MAL doesn't have a sticky header is beyond me, so, while a few days ago I was complaining about that to Aeradae, today I thought; why the heck not try to fix it with a simple CSS script.

So, that's what I did.

It's been tested and works with most of the popular dark themes.


Screenshot Assistance for Safari users:
lifeiscrazy said:
With the recent versions of Safari, Apple dropped the support for the old plug-ins/extensions. Now, extensions have to be downloaded from the App Store. I've found a fantastic replacement for Tampermonkey and the like, which lets you insert custom CSS/Javascript into webpages.

So if you use a newer version of Safari (which comes with macOS Catalina), follow these steps!
1. Install the UserScripts extension.
fyi, it's all open-source!
2. Click the new icon that appeared to the side of the address bar with "</>" to open the editor.
3. On the left side of the page, click on the + to create a new code. Then there's two options:
4a. You can either pick New Remote and past the following URL and hit "Save" in the lower right bottom. (repeat this for the other two URLs)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/lnudwyh9ji7lzwk/MAL-Sticky-Menu-main.css
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/hfgho9srcd2gmtr/MAL-Sticky-Menu-specific-pages.css
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/7tkvq4a67jz6iiy/MAL-Sticky-Menu-picture-gallery-fix.css

4b. Alternatively, pick New CSS and copy, paste and save the codes directly from the URLs above into three separate codes.

Since there's a version number, and the update URL in the script, it's possible to check for updates. When the original code has a higher version number, it'll update and save it (you can review the code, before hitting save!). Right now, there's no function to auto-update scripts. But don't expect too many updates. Unless things break (and if they do, let me know!).
lifeiscrazy said:

For those who use these Safari scripts, I added a new script for the new interest stacks. The title and status etc are stickied. Which currently makes it appear on top of the navigation/menu bar back behind the logo/header.
New script to add/copy-paste the code for in step 4 is located here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/mexwhnhkw4qmjft/MAL-Sticky-Menu-fix-interest-stacks.css

See these screenshots for what the problem was, and how it should look after the fix! :)

Since NinjaNed's lists are very outdated at this point I've made a little something of my own in the same style.

Anime by start:
(27) Watch an anime that began airing the same year you joined MAL
(37) Watch an anime that began airing the same month you joined MAL
(38) Watch an anime that began airing the same day you joined MAL

Title and ID:
(44) Watch an anime that has "ten" or "10" somewhere in the main title
(48) Watch an anime that has the number 10 in its MAL ID (found in the anime page URL)

Broadcast window:
(71) Watch a morning anime (broadcast between 6:00 and 11:59 JST)
(72) Watch an afternoon/evening anime (broadcast between 17:00 and 22:59 JST)
(73) Watch a late night anime (broadcast between 23:00 and 03:59 JST)

OP and ED items:
(90) Watch an anime with 20 or more episodes that has only one Opening Theme (OP) and one Ending Theme (ED) listed
(91) Watch an anime with either 5 or more Opening Themes (OP) listed or 5 or more Ending Themes (ED) listed
(92) Watch an anime in which 2 or more different Opening Theme (OP) and/or Ending Theme (ED) are performed by the same Artist/Group*
*this is not an exhaustive list due to the inconsistent format on MAL, but it should be most of them

Anime by source (for items 138-144):
Sources folder

Direct links:
Original
Manga
Game
Visual Novel
Light Novel
Novel
4-koma Manga
Web Manga
Book
Card Game
Mixed Media
Music
Other
Unknown

Unused this year but for completeness sake:
Picture Book
Radio
Web Novel

There is more to be found in the repo, but I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader.

Hi :3 quick question about challenge

In the rules i didn't see any minimum leangth restrictions (like monthly challenge has "anime need to be = to or longer than 15 min"), does that mean anime under 15 min are valid for the challenge?
What debating with DigiCat is like according to APolygons2
That's why I thought a discussion would be pointless. It doesn't feel like a debate. It feels like I'm playing chess and somehow lose to an uno reverse card after loosing all my monopoly money lol

1. Do I need to specify at sign-up time what level I'm aiming for?

2. Can I add words after sign-up? Can I remove words after sign-up?

3. Do I need to complete every item in a word for those items to count? So if I only complete 2 out of 5 items in a word, does this count as 0?

4. What do I get if I complete the challenge? :P

(Apologies in advance if the answers are obvious or stated elsewhere)

As you can see, the first one is racing. However, that is a theme. The first genre one is Girls Love. Is this the one I would go with? Thanks in advance.

Unless the item lists a specific duration restriction, you can use any length of anime that you wish.

@perseii

1] You don't need to specify your level until you are finished your challenge (and that will be on the turn-in form).

2] You can add/remove words as much as you please until you decide you've completed all that you want.

3] If you are doing Level 1-5 you will remove ONE item from each word list. For example, if you choose CHIBI you must complete 5 of the 6 items to count it towards your completed items.

4] There is no official badge or anything for this challenge so you will get the personal satisfaction of completing the challenge. There are banners created by fellow participants that you can also use on your post or profile if you wish.

Since Anime+ lumps the categories all together, for the purpose of this item we will consider all of them genres. So you will use Racing as your genre.

I'm doing level 4 and for most of the words I picked, I can do all the items. I have 81 items total. Is it a must that I remove ONE item from each word, or I can continue the way I am? Because I feel moving things around will make me add more items and I can't do that.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

@Niveen_Sleem Yes, you have to remove one item from each word if you are doing levels 1-5.

This one doesn't have a minimum length requirement, you can watch a 3 minute show.
If there's a length requirement, it will be stated like: (57) Watch an anime with a total duration of 16 minutes or more and a popularity lower than #500 (#501, #610, etc.)
