[BUG][fixed] Can't update anime list

[Lizard]

Whenever I try to update that I've rated/watched/am watching an anime, it just shows the little loading wheel-dealie without changing anything. I could possibly doing something wrong, but this has never happened before. Please help!

First you should say what browser you are using. Did you try a different browser? I haven't had any problems.

1) After attempting to change your status, go look at your list again. It might have actually updated even though it stays on the loading thing indefinitely.

2) I ran into the same thing a littlw while back, it was due to the feed server overloading (yet again). The result was that the page would "load" perpetually after you changed a status, but that it actually did change it in the background.

Approximate behind the scenes process of changing your status:
You tell the site "I am watching this at 5 episodes".
The site changes your status on it's servers.
The site adds the fact that you've changed your status to the feed system.
The site comes back to tell you "ok, I'm done".

What's happening:
You tell the site "I am watching this at 5 episodes".
The site changes your status on it's servers.
The site can't get through to the feed servers.
The site just sits there endlessly trying to connect to the feed server. It can't come back & tell you it's done because it was unable to complete one of the steps (even though it's a step which you probably don't care about).


edit: Everything seems to be working fine here right now, have you tried again recently to see if you're still having the problem?

Hey guys, thanks for replying so fast!
I use Chrome, it's still not working there, and I've checked my list, no dice.
It works fine on IE tho', so I guess I'll use that.

I seem to recall there being a recent thread here about someone else having problems with chrome. I wonder if chrome changed something in some update....

It's odd though, browser issues usually don't result in the endlessly loading thing, that's normally a server issue.
Have you checked to make sure you have javascript enabled for a-p in chrome?
Have you tried turning off any ad blockers? ...Any plguins like noscript? ...Any add-on scripts via greasemonkey or other type plugin?

Fixed it!! I messed around with my extensions for Chrome, and it turns out it was one of them! (It was the extension Stylish) Thanks so much for your help. :3

No problem, glad we could fix it.
