Mycosts.co.uk help
What is this site?
This site allows you to track the cost of your energy & vehicle usage in the
UK. You can record your meter readings and see the cost that usage woud be
on
many
popular
energy supplier tariffs in the UK at present. You can also add your own tariffs
if you cannot find an appropriate one.
You can also enter the costs of running your vehicle(s), including maintenance
and fuel costs. This information then allows you to see the overall running
cost.
What is this site's address and why does it change?
The address to remember is www.mycosts.co.uk, although this may appear as www.qwindow.com/mycosts
as soon as you display the page on your computer. www.mycosts.co.uk is actually
a part of the qwindow system and supported by its developers. It is hosted on
the internet by qwindow.
Do I need to register as a user?
Registration is not essential. You can use the site as an unregistered user
but the functions you have available will be limited. In order to enter your
own readings and see the associated costs, you should be a registered user.
You are not asked for any confidential information when you register, just an
email address although even that is optional. Similarly, you do not input any
confidential data as a registered user. The most you will provide is the readings
from your own meters - information which is of little use to anyone else! We
give an assurance that we will not pass on any user email addresses we may have
to any other party. Similarly, we assure you that we will not send messages
not pertaining directly to our site to any of the email addresses we may have.
Can other users see my data entries?
No. One registered user cannot see the data entered by another user.
Why do I need JavaScript enabled?
This site makes considerable use of JavaScript. This allows web pages to run
functions that provide some user interaction and without it there would be severe
limits. JavaScript is executed by your Internet Browser, so it is not something
we have control over. Because there are quite a few different internet browsers
around, we cannot easily provide instructions for enabling JavaScript support
but the browser help should be able to tell you what to do. Without it, you
will not be able to get past the login page.
