Revision as of 16:43, 7 May 2005
The Main button takes you back to the Main page if you aren't already there.
You're at the main page, now what can you do with it?
First of all, you should know that AniDB is based on file indexes. So, while you can e.g. vote for animes like on other sites, many features are centered on files.
The appearance of the main page depends on whether you're registered or not. See Why signup? for a quick overview of features available only to registered users, one of them being able to add and correct most entries.
The success of AniDB is largely based on its collaborative style, lowering the work of the few moderators and letting people help with the maintenance of the database. So, we encourage you to register and help us build the best database of anime available on the net.
In the main page you will see different parts
- The header is simply for decoration and has no functionality so far. There is a discussion about the third girl shown there, if you know her let us know. ;)
- Below the header and to the right you will see a box where you can input strings to search for. This search is done over the list of anime titles as well as the known aliases and short names for it (searching for Kanji is not supported yet). Please note that spaces are taken into account, meaning that "Onegai " (without the quotation marks) will bring titles that have "Onegai" followed by a space in their name. Spaces before and after strings are NOT removed. Additionally, only matches for the full string are returned.
Hint: When viewing the grouplist, the search will return the according groups.
- Also below the header, in the middle, you will see the title of the section you're in, or any other message you should be aware of (like an error).
- To the left, there is a navigation menu with a set of features. See below for a detailed overview of the links only available when being logged in. You can click on any of them to visit the according section. At the lower end of this navigation bar, you can find the login and sign-up section. When having signed up and before logging in, don't forget to click the "remember" option if you don't want to login each time you open the site. Also don't forget to enable cookies for the site in your browser, see Support: Help! Login doesn't work.
