[[Image:Profil.png|thumb|the Profile screen ''(old screenshot)'']]

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 ;)

==CSS Tab==

==General Tab==

====No message pop-up====

====Show table headers====

:With this setting you can enable/disable the table headers on the anime and MyList pages.

:As a new user you might want to have them enabled, but once you know what the columns stand for you might consider switching this off in order to fit more info on one screen.

====Show fine grained vote options====

:Adds additional *.5 rating options to all voting drop-downs. Use this if you feel that something lies "in-between" the normally available rating options.

====Show adult content (hentai)====

:This option lets you view hentai (by default is hidden). Enabling this option in conjunction with ''[[Profile#Hide pictures with adult content|Hide pictures with adult content]]'' let's you view details of hentai but no images will be displayed for a "work safe" environment.

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

:This option lets you still view details of hentai and they will still show up in your searches, but no images will be displayed; this is good if you are in a "work safe" environment (as opposed to [[Wikipedia:NSFW|NSFW]]).

====Hide Thumbnails====

:This option will hide the thumbnails in the anime title listing.

====Show all weight options for categories in search====

====Show tags marked as spoiler====

: This will enable you too see Tags which are considered to be Spoilers.

====Use JS tabs on anime page and profile====

: This will enable a tabbed interface on the anime, wishlist and profile page.

{{eyecatch|1|Note|This will only work for styles that are currently tab-aware, i.e. sub-silver, check first.}}

====Hide signatures in the forum====

: This will stop signatures from showing up in the the forum.

====Don't parse smileys in posts====

: This will stop the automatic replacing of text smileys with image smileys in forum postings.

====Hide user avatars====

: This will hide all user avatars in the forum.

===Animelist===

====Hide synonyms in anime lists by default====

:The anime list, including normal and advanced search, has a filter ''Hide synonyms'' that hides all titles except main titles. This option allows you to enable this filter by default.

====Hide kanji titles in animelist====

:This will hide the kanji titles. Good for if your computer can't display Japanese characters properly.

====Hide other titles in animelist====

:{{Missing}}

====Split vote and rating into 2 separate columns====

:Disabled, the column for rating is in the format rating(votes). When this option is enabled, the votes will have their own separate column to the right of Rating. This can help for sorting based on sample size for those who are statistically conscious.

===My list===

====Show file info in MyList by default====

:With this setting you can specify whether you'd like the episode entries in your MyList to be expanded (option enabled) or folded (option disabled) by default.

====Display file source instead of personal source in MyList====

:{{missing}}

===IRC===

====Allow NickWatch====

:This option enables the [[IRC:Chii#!watched - passive|passive watch feature]]. It allows you to mark files watched while just changing your nick.

====Allow NickWatch Comment====

 

===Anime Page - General===

====Hide awards on anime page====

:If enabled, the awards information box will be hidden on the anime page. This can be used to save screen space if you're not interested in that information.

:The award information box shows small images for anime which have been awarded things like [[ARC Awards| Anime Reactor Community (ARC) Awards]] and other awards.

====Hide group info box on anime page====

:This option lets you hide the group information area which tells you what groups are currently doing a certain anime or have already completed that anime.

====Use ajax on anime page====

:If you enable this option, AJAX methods will be used in most of the anime page to allow for a better usability and faster usage.

====Hide categories on anime page====

:This option will completely hide the "Categories" row on the anime entry page.

====Hide tags on anime page====

:This option will completely hide the tags box.

====Hide anime pictures====

:This option will hide the picture of the anime on anime pages.

====Hide audio only releases on anime page====

: If enabled this will hide all files which have no subtitles by default.

 

===Anime Page - Titles===

:''See also: [[Profile#Default languages|Default languages]]''

 

====Hide short titles on anime page====

:This will hide abbreviations of the anime title, such as ''FMA'', ''Fullmetal'', or ''HagaRen'' for ''{{a|979|Hagane no Renkinjutsushi}}''.

====Show language of ep titles on anime page====

:Shows a flag for the language of episode titles.

:If enabled, titles of episodes you haven't watched yet will be just displayed as "Episode #". Enable this option if you're worried about episode names containing plot spoilers.

{{eyecatch|1|Note|Does '''not''' affect old subscriptions!}}

:Once this option is enabled you will only receive file-added notifications for anime on your notify list, if the file has at least one audio and one subtitle stream which each match at least one of your preferred languages as set under "File Audio/Sub Language Preference".

===Notifications - Types===

 

:It is a good idea to enable this option if you're using anime notifications of type "group" as you might otherwise miss the fact that "your" group is not going to release any more files for that anime.

:If enabled, AniDB will send you a message whenever one of your [[favourite reviewer]]s posts a review.

:If enabled, AniDB will send you a message whenever a relation between two anime is added and you have at least one file of one of the anime in MyList and no file of the other one. The idea here is to get notified about newly announced sequels and other related anime for everything which you are collecting.

 

====Notify by Mail====

:With this option you can specify if AniDB should send you an email once new notifications are available.

{{eyecatch|1|Note|This option is only available to some [[User:Mods|AniDB Mods]] at the moment.}}

===Performance Options===

Set the default number of rows displayed in tables with paging capabilities (prev/next). Selectable values are 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250.

Choose your preferred language for anime and episode titles.

{{eyecatch|Note|Anime titles default to Japanese (transcription) aka romaji if there is no title in your selected language.}}<br>

{{eyecatch|Note|Episode titles default to English if there is no title in your selected language.}}

===Audio and subtitle languages===

These settings are for filtering files by language and applies to:

* Latest files

* XML (ajax pages, files in anime3 not conforming to lang options are hidden by default)

===Set AniDB Password===

Use those options to change your password and/or Email for your AniDB account.

{{eyecatch|Note|If you change your email address a new activation email will be sent to your new address and your account will be disabled until you click the link in the activation email.}}

===Set API Key===

This key is used for encrypted communication with the [[UDP API]]. It is required for [[Avdump]].

By setting a master account you can link your [[MyList]] to that of another AniDB user. This means that you will see that users MyList as if it were your own. This feature is mainly useful for people who are sharing a common anime collection. It allows one person (the master account) to maintain the list of all anime and all others (slave accounts) to query and use that data while still being able to maintain separate votes, settings...

 

{{eyecatch|Warning|Do NOT request linkage of your MyList to that of some arbitrary user. You should notify the other person in advance. Random master account requests are considered SPAM and trying to link your MyList to that of a mod is a good way to get your ass BANNED.}}

 

===Restrictions===

The following restrictions are possible:

{{eyecatch|Note|Admins can always see everything about you regardless the restrictions you set here.}}

====see me in [[user list]]====

:This user group may see you and some of your stats in the [[userlist]].

<br>'''BUT''' as somebody could simply try all userids not giving this access right while giving '''"see my anime list"''' is NO secure access restriction. If you want to do this use the password feature.}}

 

====see [[MyList|my anime list]]====

==RDF/Jabber Tab==

'''More information:''' ''[[RSSRDF]], [[Jabber]]''

CSS entered here is injected into the header of every page served to you, after the links to the CSS template you've chosen in the [[AniDB:Css styles#CSS Tab|CSS Tab]].

 

Rules you enter here will override those in the template, and can be used to adapt AniDB's appearance to your own personal preferences, for instance by hiding elements you find distracting, or by emphasising elements you consider important.
