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 Password/Email

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

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.

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.


Usergroups


Guests

This column specifies which actions are allowed if somebody accesses your animelist without logging in first. Everybody who has either not signed up or not logged in falls into this category.

Member

This column specifies which actions are allowed if a normal AniDB user accesses your animelist. Everybody who is logged in and not an AR Member falls into this category.

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 Buddylist.

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".

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.

Layout Options

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.

Show FileInfo in MyList

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

No Message Popup

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