How does DVD Aficionada work?
I signed up but have no idea how to add any of my titles. Is there a program to download? The site is very unorganized.

Under the "my DVDs" heading on the far left, there is a choice called "quick import" that is the third from the bottom.
Click on this, and it takes you to an input screen. Type the titles of all titles you wish to catalogue, click search, and all different types of the DVD will come up on the next screen. Put a check in the box of all titles that you own, and then "move to owned."
It is not too difficult once you get used to it.

You log in, search for a title that you own, wish to own, etc... then put a checkmark next to the title, and then choose owned, wishlist, etc.. and then click the "Move to" button. Seems pretty simple to me. Maybe you weren't logged in.

DVDaf is really easy to use once you start. But one of their new things that is pretty annoying is they will not list more than 500 DVD's on one page, meaning if you have more than 500 you will have to split them into subfolders inside your owned folder. Other than that I have been using it for I think a couple years and have no complaints.

Another 
as for as how easy this is to use and maintain. At first I was a little annoyed with the new "500 max" arrangement, but after thinking about it, and starting to move things around, I think it makes sense.

My thoughts exactly. I prefer the clean interface to DVDProfiler's mess of constantly changing info.

I've tried several on-line organizers, including DVDSpot, Profiler, and Guzzlefish. DVDAficionado is by far the easiest to use and organized on-line organizer there is.
Once you get used to the interface, (which shouldn't take more than 2 minutes), you shouldn't have any problems.
The easiest way to do it is to do a search from the top of the screen. After the results come up, put a check mark next to the correct title. Then from the drop-down menu in the results table, chose which folder (Owned, On Order, Wish List, Work) you want to put the title in. Then click "Move to" and that's it.
Then for customizing your folders, you can go into the "My DVDs" drop-down folder and then select "Folder Heirarchy" and you can add subfolders to any of the above mentioned folders. For example, "owned/action" "owned/sci-fi" etc...anything you want.
Click my collection link below to see what I mean. I've got 53 subfolders under "Owned" alone.

Easiest site of its kind to deal with. That's why it was the first one I used and remains the only one I update, even though I've tried all of the other big ones out there.
The site's not unorganized at all. Just the OP who's using it is.

Big fan here, love the subfolders function. I have submitted several updates and such. There's also a forum for feedback and arguing rejected titles.
