Login, Registration, And Account Basics

How do I join NYCRUNS?

There are two ways to register; by creating an account the standard way and clicking "Login" and by “Login With Facebook”. You can do either of these on any page of the site, including this one - just look towards the top right of the page.

Should I choose “Login With Facebook” or “Login”?

That’s entirely up to you. “Login with Facebook” expedites the process of logging in and setting up a user profile by importing some very limited information, in particular; your current profile picture, city, state, and gender. The site updates your wall when you login to the site by posting "User joined/is visiting NYCRUNS" and providing the URL.

When you "Login With Facebook" the first time, you also create a standard account with a password. You can also associate your facebook account with an existing account. So, you can have your cake and eat it too in this instance! 

In the long run associating your account with facebook will be useful if you are active there. We are planning on aggressively using Facebook as we continue to grow.

You will have to go to work that out with facebook. 

How do I Update My User Profile?

If you are logged into the site, you can do this by going to your profile and clicking on Edit Profile. The main tab has all of the information you can list as part of your profile. You can fill out as little or as much as you want. “Edit Details” allows you to change your name, email address, and some default settings. The “Privacy” tab primarily allows you to determine who can see your profile information, pictures, and friends.
