How profile settings work

The profile settings section lets you personalize the service interface. Here you can set your home page, interface language, theme, and time zone.

Important: You must be signed in to change settings. Changes apply only after you click "Save".

Opening profile settings

1. Sign in to the service
2. Open the "Profile" section in your account
3. Find the "Settings" section

Step 2: Open the settings panel

1. Open the profile settings section
2. The interface settings panel appears
3. All settings load automatically from your profile

Home page

The home page determines which section opens when you enter the service or go to the main page.

How to change the home page

1. Find the "Home Page" field in settings
2. Open the drop-down list
3. Choose the page you want from the available options
4. Click "Save" to apply your changes

Available options

Available home pages depend on service configuration and may include:

• Auctions — auctions
• Expired — expired domains
• Backorder — backorder

Notes

• The home page is used on every sign-in
• The setting is stored in your profile
• It takes effect as soon as you save

Interface language

The interface language controls the language of UI elements across the service.

How to change the interface language

1. Find the "Language" field in settings
2. Open the drop-down list
3. Choose the language you want
4. Click "Save" to apply your changes

Available languages

Available languages depend on service configuration and may include:

• English (en) — English
• Russian (ru) — Russian
• And other languages supported by the service

Note: After you change the language, the interface updates automatically. Some elements may require a page reload.

Notes

• The interface language applies to all service UI
• The setting is stored in your profile
• It takes effect as soon as you save
• Content language (for domains, descriptions, etc.) is independent of the interface language

Theme

The theme sets the color scheme of the service interface (light or dark).

How to change the theme

1. Find the "Theme" field in settings
2. Open the drop-down list
3. Choose the theme you want
4. Click "Save" to apply your changes

Available themes

Available themes depend on service configuration and may include:

• Light — light theme
• Dark — dark theme

Note: Dark theme is often easier in low light; light theme works well in bright conditions.

Notes

• The theme applies across the whole service UI
• The setting is stored in your profile
• It takes effect as soon as you save
• Some elements may need a page reload for the theme to apply fully

Time zone

The time zone controls how dates and times are shown in the service. It also affects email digests.

How to change the time zone

1. Find the "Timezone" field in settings
2. Open the drop-down list

4. Click "Save" to apply your changes

Available time zones

Saving settings

How to save changes

1. After changing any setting (home page, language, theme, or time zone)
2. Scroll down to the "Save" button
3. Click "Save"
4. Wait for the success confirmation

Important: Settings are saved only when you click "Save". If you leave the page without saving, your changes are lost.

Save feedback

• A success message appears after a successful save

Automatic application

After you save, the system:
