The new Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD sign in system
Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD is the new sign in system for Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Online. It's currently being rolled out across all services that require a user to register or sign in.
On Monday November 2nd we'll be switching all of the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú's blogs to Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD from the previous Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú membership system. And in the New Year our message boards and other communities will be heading down the same route.
By March 2010 Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD will be the single sign in for all Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Online services. If you have an existing Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú membership account for blogs, message boards or other services at some point in the next few months you will be automatically prompted to upgrade to Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD.
We do need to replace the old system, but we don't underestimate the inconvenience the transition will represent for some of our users. We apologise for this and hope that you will find the service improvements that Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD will support over the coming months for example, working on mobiles - make it all worthwhile.
We've tried to answer the questions you may have about the new system here.
If we've missed anything, please let us know. Most users should be able to upgrade their account from a Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú membership to a Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD when prompted with a minimum of fuss.
We'll be keeping you up to date with the roll-out of Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD via the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Internet blog.
NB: There's one thing you will need to think about if you have more than one Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú membership account:
If you have more than one Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú membership you'll only be able to upgrade one of those accounts to Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD using your preferred username and email address. That Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iD account will retain links to your previous membership account and any comments and posts you made using it. So if you have more than one Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú membership, make sure you upgrade your favourite one.
