Hi everyone,
Next Monday 14 December, the Ö÷²¥´óÐã will be introducing a new sign in system on all message boards.
If you use the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's blogs or the Strictly Come Dancing or iPlayer message boards you may have heard of it. It's called Ö÷²¥´óÐã iD. It's been in use on iPlayer and Strictly for some time and on blogs from last month.
And if you've already upgraded the account you use, for example when you've used a blog, you should notice no change on Monday.
If you haven't got yourself a Ö÷²¥´óÐã iD yet there’s no need to worry. Simply wait until Monday when you will be prompted to get a Ö÷²¥´óÐã iD when you sign in
It will be easy to upgrade the account you currently have when the time comes. Simply use the same email and username you have for the old system and all your details (and the comments that go with them) should be transferred to the new one.
There are help pages for Ö÷²¥´óÐã iD here.
You can also read these blog posts:
And if you are having problems please use this email membership@bbc.co.uk

Hi all,
Just to let you know, the migration to Ö÷²¥´óÐã iD is now happening tomorrow (Tuesday, 15 December).
If you have any questions, have a look at the help page:

Hi again! Sorry to send through another update, but this one might just help sort out some of the problems people have been having.
There's been lots of confusion about the new Ö÷²¥´óÐã iD system that's being introduced to message boards on Tuesday (tomorrow). IMPORTANT: you'll need to know your current membername and password to carry on using message boards once the switch to Ö÷²¥´óÐã iD happens on Tuesday.
If you're permanently signed into message boards and have forgotten your membername, password or both of them, then read this and take action TODAY.
If you don't know your membername (and you're signed in), your membername is displayed after the word "Hello" on the top left hand side of the page. It says "Hello XXX" and then in smaller type "I'm not XXX" where XXX is your membername.
If you don't know your password, click on the tab "Retrieve my details". On the next screen you'll be asked for your password:
1. If the password field is already filled in then you can click "Continue". On the next screen under the heading "Password" click on "Make changes". Then you'll be able to enter a new password. Make a note of this along with your membername. You'll be prompted for them when it's time to migrate.
2. If the password field isn't filled in then click on "Forgotten your password". You'll be asked your secret question and for your date of birth. Once you've answered these you'll be able to reset your password.

I signed onto the board this morning using the information I have used for many years, including the nickname Toadspawn.
However, I notice that on this section of the message board there are two postings using the nickname Toadspawn, U14237967 for a message I NEVER submitted and U2334298 which is the number I have been using for some considerable time.
I was under the impression that this new system introduced by the Ö÷²¥´óÐã was going to prevent duplication of nicknames.
Perhaps you could try and organise a party in a brewery and get this mess sorted out.
If not it will be another long standing member of the Ö÷²¥´óÐã message board who will leave.
Whist you are sorting the mess out get rid of the 3 minute rule which has PREVENTED people from answering many of the questions posed.

As a matter of interest I am on line at 23.23 but the other person with the nickname Toadspawn is not.

Hi Toadspawn,
This should be sorted now. The more recent toadspawn will be prompted to change their nickname.
Thanks for letting us know

Hi to the Real Toadspawn
The other one with the 14 number would appear to bear an astonishing resemblance in posting style to Grid! How amazing that the Beeb can put everyone through this new ID stuff and still not get rid of a troll that has been on these boards for how many years and identities is it now?

Some years ago I had a 'heated' discussion with Grid and he/she/it appears never to have forgiven me so perhaps this was his/her/its way of revenge.

Rain - I've been posting on these boards since 2001, they were very new then.
I bought my first PC in 1998, it cost over £1000 then and not too many people had them.
