Changing your identity
A quick note on a behind-the-scenes change that will affect commenters today. The Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú is implementing a new sign-in system across all its blogs and message boards, called Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD. Anyone wishing to comment from now on will be prompted to upgrade their accounts -- this is a one-time-only process and it's relatively painless.
One note of caution though: if you've got multiple Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú accounts, you'll only be able to upgrade one of them to Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD using your preferred username and email address.
Should you be burning with questions about this, you can get more information and help over at the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Internet Blog.

UPDATE: Okay, not quite painless then... Apologies to all the people who've had difficulties signing in or posting since the upgrade went live. There's clearly a bug in the new system.The Blogs team tell me they're working on fixing it as a matter of priority, so bear with us.
If you're specifically affected by the "Confirm Registration" link not working, a workaround (discovered by The_Wrath_is_Come) is to right-click on the link and open it in a new tab/window. The Blogs team are looking into the other issues people are having, and I'll report back here when I hear from them.
MORE UPDATE: Blogs team 'expect the situation to have been resolved within the next hour.' (as of 3pm)
