Your account settings allow you to choose from many options and also enable you to switch to another neighborhood in case you might have moved. Sensitive data like addresses, telephone numbers, or email addresses are only visible to your community leader. Please remember, your privacy is always protected.

For example, if someone is offering a babysitter service or music lessons as a tutor the community wants to know who that person is.

From the beginning we tried to keep the user-interface as straight-forward and simple as possible. We are aware that not everybody is a computer-savvy geek. The top menu leads you to a more detailed view of all recently posted messages. But now you can also list messages* from neighboring communities and announcements, events, and information relevant to all communities within your municipality. You do not have to subscribe to numerous mailing lists in order to stay in touch with surrounding communities. It’s that convenient! To the right you find a button Board & Map. For newcomers it will show the boundaries of your community on an interactive Google map, membership information and a list of the particular leadership with the option to conveniently contact board members. Selecting Neighbors will get you to a list of all your neighbors which only can be viewed by members of this particular community. In your Mail Box you find private messages of other members. You can switch off this feature if you don't wish to be contacted by other members. By the way, there is also the option to pay your dues online in case this option should have been chosen by your leadership. Under Profile & Groups your settings and your group memberships can be controlled. To the left you find three buttons which you can use to quickly access the integrated community website, the forums and a site collection of general interest. The advantage is the speed with which you can access numerous sites for which you used to open several tabs on your browser window in the past. Every possible community aspect can now be found under one roof!
