You do not need to register if you just want to ask or answer a question. You do need to register if you want to earn reputation which lets you vote, retag, earn badges and edit.

To register for RunSubmit.com, click the login link at the top of the page. Rather than storing users and passwords ourselves, RunSubmit.com integrates with OpenID accounts. Basically this is a new "login once, go to any site" technology. If you already have one (it will look like a web address starting with http://your-username.your-provider.com/), then enter it into the text box on the login page (including the http://) and click the Login button. If you don't have one (or think you don't have one), keep reading...

Any website can become an OpenID provider. Many, like Google and Yahoo! already are. I've posted other answers below with instructions on:

• Logging in if you have a Google (Gmail) account
• Logging in if you have a Yahoo! account

If you don't have either of those, you can get a new OpenID by following this procedure:

• Go to https://www.myopenid.com/signup
• Make up a user name
• Put in a password
• Enter any email address you want to use
• Enter the text in the captcha
• Check the I Agree to... checkbox
• Click Sign Up

That should give you an OpenID and it will look like a website address (http://*****.myopenid.com). You can use that on any OpenID site including RunSubmit.com.

Logging in to RunSubmit.com if you already have a Yahoo! account:

• Go to the RunSubmit.com login page
• Click the Yahoo! image just below the login box (if you don't see the Yahoo! image, then maybe you have javascript disabled?)
• This should take you to a Yahoo! sign-in page. If you are already logged in to your Yahoo! account, it will tell you that you're logging into RunSubmit.com. Check the I have read... checkbox. Click Continue.
• If you're not currently logged into your Yahoo! account, it will ask you to enter your email address and password. Note that this information is never sent to RunSubmit.com. -You will be returned to RunSubmit.com and you will be asked if you want to create a new account linked to this OpenID.

Logging in to collectedquestions.com if you already have a Google (Gmail) account:

Go to the RunSubmit.com login page

• Click the Google image just below the login box (if you don't see the Google image, then maybe you have javascript disabled?)
• This should take you to a Google accounts page.
• If you are already logged in to your Google account, it will tell you that you're logging into collectedquestions.stackexchange.com with your Google Account. Click Sign In.
• If you're not currently logged into your Google account, it will ask you to enter your email address and password. (Note that this information is never sent to RunSubmit.com. You will be returned to collectedquestions.com and you will be asked if you want to create a new account linked to this OpenID.)

NOTE: Some users are encountering a problem where the OpenID provider returns you to moms4mom.stackexchange.com instead of RunSubmit.com. If this happens, try manually changing your address to http://www.runsubmit.com/.
