Other online communities

A large number of web-based community services don’t require registration to view content, so always think twice about what you post.

Be careful not to reveal too much about yourself, especially your full name, address or contact details - and always remember to log out if you’re accessing web communities on a shared or public computer at school or college, at a friend’s house or an Internet café. A good way to ensure your details are not stored on a public or shared computer is to access the privacy options on forums and disable auto-login.
