the Profile screen

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 ina while you might miss out otherwise ;)

Change Permission

Here you can specify who may view your anime list and under which conditions. There are different actions you may allow for four different user groups. I.e. you can use this to hide your anime list from all or only from some other users or you can give external people access to your anime list.

The following restictions are possible:

Note: Admins can always see everything about you regardless the restrictions you set here.

Usergroups


Passwd

This column specifies which actions are allowed if a user accesses your animelist via the URL and password you have set @ "Set Guest Passwd".

Buddy

This column specifies which actions are allowed if one of your Buddies accesses your animelist. You can define who is a Buddy by adding them to your Buddy_List.

Template:Eyecatch2

Set Guest Passwd


This is the password needed to gain access to usergroup "Passwd" and its access right on your animelist. Template:Eyecatch2

Once you set a password and gave some access permissions to the group "Passwd" in the "Change Permissions" field of this page you can give the url which is shown below the password field to other people to allow them access to the specified actions/infos of your animelist.

Set Master Account


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.

Layout Options

General

No Message Popup

By enabling this option you can suppress the notification popup for new private messages.

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 colums stand for you might consider switching this off in order to fit more info on one screen.

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.

This option lets you view hentai (by default is hidden). Enabling this option in conjunction with 'Hide Hentai Images (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 NSFW).

Show language of ep titles on anime page

Template:Eyecatch2

Clear notifies when opening notification history

The description is missing or severely incomplete.
If you can, please help by explaining it.

Notify if a group drops an anime

If enabled, AniDB will send you a message whenever a group drops an anime. However, this is only done if you have at least one file of that group and anime combination in your mylist, meaning you have been collecting files by that group for that anime.
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.

Notify if entries I added are changed

The description is missing or severely incomplete.
If you can, please help by explaining it.

Notify if entries I edited are changed

The description is missing or severely incomplete.
If you can, please help by explaining it.

Notify if a favourite reviewer posts a review

The description is missing or severely incomplete.
If you can, please help by explaining it.

Notify if a new relation is added to an anime you collect

If enabled, AniDB will send you a message whenever a relation between two animes is added and you have at least one file of one of the animes in mylist and no file of the other one. The idea here is to get notified about newly announced sequels and other related animes for everything which you are collecting.
Your anime notification settings do not affect this function. Meaning you will receive these relation-added notifications even for animes which are not on your notification list.

Notifies only for files in my language (audio and subtitles)

Once this option is enabled you will only receive file-added notifications for animes on your notify list, if the file has at least one audio and one subtitle stream which each match at least one of your prefered languages as set under "File Audio/Sub Language Preference". Do not check this option without selecting any languages!

Notify by Mail

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