The MyList export is in a .tgz archive, this is a gzipped tar file; a decent (de)compression program should be able to handle it. You can try [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip] (which is free and open-source) or [http://www.rarlab.com/ WinRAR] (which isn't; it's shareware). | The MyList export is in a .tgz archive, this is a gzipped tar file; a decent (de)compression program should be able to handle it.

AniDB has/is changing all of its pages to use CSS, this will likely break incompatible browsers such as Internet Explorer. If you want to be able to view AniDB correctly you should switch to a standards-compliant browser like [http://www.getfirefox.com Firefox] or [http://www.opera.com Opera]. AniDB has not supported Internet Explorer for quite some time, and it will take a lot of work on Microsoft's part before AniDB will support it again. | AniDB has/is changing all of its pages to use CSS, this will likely break incompatible browsers such as Internet Explorer.

First of all, you should clearly understand how AniDB works. The file counts for group per anime are automatically generated out of the added files. Hence when some groups data is "incomplete" it means no one added the files for it. DON'T ask AniDB mods to add those for you. We don't have the files so how could we add them.<br | First of all, you should clearly understand how AniDB works.
