Account
The private area of each member: their overview, My list, their ratings and requests, their membership and payments, and the settings of their profile, email and security.
Overview
Each member has a private area on your Account page, which Dbmovies creates at /account/. Visitors who are not signed in go to the sign in form first. See Sign in.
Members open it from My account in the header, which also has Logout. Inside, the sections are listed on the left; on phones, they are in a menu at the top.
| Section | Address | What it has |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | /account/ | Their profile, their membership and the titles they viewed |
| My list | /account/mylist/ | The titles they saved |
| Ratings | /account/ratings/ | The titles they rated |
| Requests | /account/requests/ | The titles they asked you to add |
| Membership | /account/plans/ | Their plan, payments and payment method |
| Settings | /account/settings/ | Their profile, phone, email and security |
The sidebar also shows My links and Messages, two sections that are coming soon: they show a preview of what they will have. The My account menu does not show them.
To change the address of the Account page, see Required pages.
Overview
- The profile: the avatar, the name, how many titles are in their list and their average rating. A dot on the avatar shows the status of their membership.
- The membership: their plan and when it renews or ends, or View plans if they have none.
- Their email and the date they joined.
- Recently viewed: the last titles they opened in this browser.
The avatar is the member's Gravatar. Without one, it is the default avatar of your site, set in Settings › Discussion.

My list
The movies and TV shows the member saved with the My list button of each title, 18 per page. The × on each poster removes the title from the list. It shows when the mouse is over the poster, and always on touch screens.
Ratings
Every title the member rated:
- A summary: how many titles they rated, their average and how their votes are spread from 1 to 10.
- Filters: All, Movies or TV Shows, and the order Recent or Top rated.
- A table with their vote and the average of your site for each title.
The menu of each row changes the vote or removes it. A removed vote can be restored with Undo for a few seconds. See User ratings.
Requests
Members ask for titles that are not on your site yet:
- Discover: they search TMDb and tap Request on a title. Titles already on your site show Available, and titles they already asked for show Requested.
- Requests: their requests and the status of each one. They can cancel a request while it is pending.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Waiting for your review |
| In progress | You are working on it |
| Added | The title is on your site |
| Declined | You will not add it |
You review requests in Dbmovies › Requests. See User requests.
Membership
Three tabs:
- Plan: the status of their membership and the plans of your site. Each plan shows its price per month and how much it saves compared with the shortest one, and the plan that saves the most comes first with Best value. Subscribe opens PayPal. A member with automatic renewal can turn it off with Cancel renewal and keeps access until the end of the period they paid.
- Billing: their payments, with the details of each one.
- Payment methods: the PayPal account of their subscription, with a link to manage it in PayPal.
The plans, prices and PayPal are set in Dbmovies. See Subscriptions.
