About Beoworld
Tell me about Beoworld and why I should become a member ?
My BeoWorld is about you - the user, and what you want to get from BeoWorld. From the free Bronze membership enabling you to access the wealth of information about Bang & Olufsen and the companys products on the site, right through to Gold Membership - which allows full access privileges including automatic entry into the monthly Prize Draw offering the chance to win current and classic Bang & Olufsen products! Membership consists of three levels - Gold, Silver and Bronze. Here are outlines of each level.
What are the different membership levels ?
The lowest level is BRONZE and its FREE, and offers access to the
BeoWorld website and all of its reference material (except user and service
manuals). This level also allows access to the BeoWorld discussion forums where
you can post all manner of questions and enquiries about Bang & Olufsen and
its products.
Next, there is SILVER
membership offers all of the bronze level plus access to the huge archive of
User and Service manuals for both modern and vintage Bang & Olufsen
products. This level also allows you to post on the "For Sale" and "Wanted"
sections - which are a great source of bargains and an excellent place to sell
your Bang & Olufsen!
Finally, there is GOLD membership, the highest level which allows
access to all sections on the BeoWorld website PLUS qualifies you for automatic
entry every month of your membership into the BeoWorld Monthly Prize Draw where
you can win literally thousands of pounds worth of current and vintage Bang
& Olufsen products.
There was also FOUNDER
MEMBER for the first 500 members who signed up after Beoworld
launched. In order to commemorate the launch of the new BeoWorld website, it
was decided to honour the first 500 Gold Members with the status of "Founder
Member". Founder status was available strictly on a first-come first-served
basis, and if you are amongst the first 500 your profile will show the special
"F" logo to let the world know you were there at the beginning! Once the first
500 members had joined, they were never available again - and if any Founder
memberships lapse it will not be re-issued.

What Languages are supported by the Beoworld Forum ?
Currently only US English, Spanish (Spain) and
British English which is also the default. Other languages can be added
provided I can get someone who is prepared to do some translation.
If you
want the forum in your language, then please send an e-mail to Keith.
Private Messages as we previously knew them are now
"Conversations" and allow you and your defined friends to effectively have a
private discussion.
You can send a message to any Beoworld Member as before
but if you want a conversation between more than two people then those people
must be in your friends list. The reason is because as Beoworld has a very
large number of members it would take a long time to search the members list
each time, so it is restricted your friends.
