Welcome to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ iD

Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ iD is the new sign in system for Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Online. Its 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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵs blogs to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ iD from the previous Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ membership system. And in the New Year our message boards and other communities will be heading down the same route.
By March 2010 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ iD will be the single sign in for all Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Online services. If you have an existing Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ 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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ 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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ 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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ membership to a Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ iD when prompted with a minimum of fuss.
Well be keeping you up to date with the roll-out of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ iD via the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Internet blog. We're also using the Internet blog as a early test of the new system so please do leave a comment below.
NB: There's one thing you will need to think about if you have more than one Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ membership account.:
If you have more than one Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ membership you'll only be able to upgrade one of those accounts to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ iD using your preferred username and email address. That Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ 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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ membership, make sure you upgrade your favourite one.
