First time

Please fill out [[GetText(Name)] , [[GetText(Password)] , [[GetText(Password repeat)] and [[GetText(Email)] .

If you click on [[GetText(Create Profile)] , a user profile will be created for you and you will be logged in immediately.

Logging in

If want to re-login, just use [[GetText(Name)] and [[GetText(Password)] and click on [[GetText(Login)] . If you forgot your password, provide your email address and click on [[GetText(Mail me my account data)] .

Changing settings

[[GetText(Save)] updates your profile (stored on the wiki server).

Logging out

[[GetText(Logout)] clears the cookie created at login.

The Cookie

The cookie will expire next midnight - except if you choose [[GetText(Remember login information)] (after being logged in), then the cookie will not expire. After the cookie has expired, you have to login again.
