91Èȱ¬

91Èȱ¬ iD is the new sign in system for 91Èȱ¬ 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 91Èȱ¬'s blogs to 91Èȱ¬ iD from the previous 91Èȱ¬ membership system. And in the New Year our message boards and other communities will be heading down the same route.

By March 2010 91Èȱ¬ iD will be the single sign in for all 91Èȱ¬ Online services. If you have an existing 91Èȱ¬ 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 91Èȱ¬ 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 91Èȱ¬ 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 91Èȱ¬ membership to a 91Èȱ¬ iD when prompted with a minimum of fuss.

We'll be keeping you up to date with the roll-out of 91Èȱ¬ iD via the 91Èȱ¬ Internet blog.

NB: There's one thing you will need to think about if you have more than one 91Èȱ¬ membership account:
If you have more than one 91Èȱ¬ membership you'll only be able to upgrade one of those accounts to 91Èȱ¬ iD using your preferred username and email address. That 91Èȱ¬ 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 91Èȱ¬ membership, make sure you upgrade your favourite one.
