Accessing account settings

There are a few ways to get to your account settings:

  • On desktop: Click "Account" or "Settings" in the sidebar.
  • On mobile: Open the menu and tap "Account."
  • From any page: Scroll to the footer and look for the Account link.

Email preferences

Control which email notifications you receive. There are four categories: Comments, Tags, Ancestry, and General.

See the Notifications & Email help page for full details on each category and how to turn them on or off.

Dark mode

BestInShow supports dark mode for comfortable viewing in low light.

Toggle it using the moon/sun icon in the mobile menu or desktop navigation. Your preference is saved automatically, so it'll be waiting for you next time you visit.

Account deactivation

If you need to deactivate your account, please contact us and we'll handle it for you.

Account deactivation hides your profile from the site. Your content — photos, articles, and other contributions — will no longer be publicly visible.

This is not permanent. If you change your mind later, you can request reactivation and everything will be restored.
