[[Image:Profil.png|thumb|The profile screen, as it appeared back in the precambrian period.]]


The Profile section contains various settings which change the behaviour and appearance of AniDB. So you should have a look at the settings after registering and from time to time after that as new features get added once in a while you might miss out otherwise ;)
Your profile contains various settings which change the behaviour and appearance of AniDB. It is quite powerful compared to what most other sites offer, and can drastically change how you experience the site. As new features and settings get added from time to time, it's not a bad idea to check out your profile once in a while (i.e. every few years).

====Use ajax where available====
:Enables [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming) ajax] for AniDB. This causes certain data to be loaded dynamically, without having to request a reload for the entire page. Notably, it is used for loading file lists for an individual episode or a group on an anime page.

====Hide all pictures (incl. thumbnails)====
:Prevents images from any database entries from being loaded.
:This does not apply to the site in general (e.g. site logo, buttons, user avatars, embedded images in posts). Most modern browsers have built-in features to prevent ''any'' images from being loaded if that's what you're looking for.

:If this option is disabled, you may select “any weight” (at least 0.5 star rating), “moderate weight” (at least 2 star rating) and “max weight” (3 star rating only).
:If this option is enabled, you may select any minimum star rating (0.5/1/1.5/2/2.5/3).


====Hide pictures with adult content====

:Prevents any user submitted avatars from being loaded on any page where they would otherwise be visible.


====Hide Thumbnails====
====Hide the “Did you know?” bar====
