User Accounts on Worldisround

Worldisround Help - User Accounts

Do I need to create an account?: You must create an account with Worldisround before you can create articles. It is also desirable — and sometimes required — to create an account before commenting on articles so that you can go back and edit or delete your comments later on.
What do I get with an account?: Every registered user has access to a User Workspace and a homepage. The User Workspace is where you can write, publish, and edit articles and review your comments. You do not need an account to view most Worldisround content. You may or may not need an account to post a comment on an article, depending on
How do I log in?: When you go to your User Workspace (the Share section of the site) you may be asked to provide the login and password that you picked during user registration. If you forget either your login or your password you can use the Forgot Your Password form to change your password via e-mail authentication.
If you enable the Remember Me option when registering or logging in, your identity will be saved in a browser cookie so that you will not need to log in again (when using the same browser).
What personal information do I need to give Worldisround?: The primary purpose of accounts are to verify your identity so that you and only you can access your Workspace, create articles, and edit articles under your name. When you register we only ask for information that we need such as your name (to display alongside articles), a unique login name and a password for identification, your e-mail address, and your country. You decide whether other users can see your e-mail address and whether we can send you updates. See our privacy policy for more details on what information we collect and what we do with it.
