🚪 Getting Started
Signing in, setting up, and finding your way around.
Signing in
- MyWBS uses Google sign-in only — press
Sign In on the homepage. We never see or
store a password for you; Google handles the login on its side.
- You must be 18 or older to join. Signing in
confirms that.
- Your Google name and picture become your starting profile. Both can
be changed — see Your Profile.
Finding your way
Once signed in, everything hangs off two menus:
- The top bar — quick jumps to the Feed, People,
Friends, Groups, Events, and more, plus your
✉ messages and the 🔔 bell.
- The left rail, grouped the way the site thinks:
Social (feed, people, friends, groups, events, bulletins),
Hang Out (the live chat, audio rooms, karaoke, movie nights, the clubs
hub — book, board game, cooking, cycling, gardening, hiking,
photography, puzzle and running clubs under one roof — photo
contests, trivia nights, games),
Corners (pen pals,
videos, photo of the day, music charts, poetry, recipes), and
Me & More (your photos, invites, site activity, search,
your account).
The bell
The 🔔 bell collects everything addressed to you:
friend requests, comments and replies, guestbook signatures, letters,
event invites, contest results, and so on. Click any notification to
jump straight to the thing itself.
Your clubs
The Clubs hub opens with Your
clubs: every club you belong to, of any kind, newest activity
first, each one saying what's new since you last opened it — "2
messages · 14 pieces placed", "1 plant · 2 diary updates". Opening a
club marks it looked-at. The Clubs entry in the left
rail carries a small count of how many of your clubs have something
new, so you never have to go looking.
Good first steps
