Hi all,

we are currently renewing our registration system and making it work with the universal Nokia account, which is already used by a wide range of services at www.ovi.com

Because of this, we are unable to take any new registrations at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We plan to start taking new registrations again on Wednesday, September 30th. I'm sorry for the long delay but we just want to get this done right. So please bear with us

During this cutoff, all visitors should still be able to read all posts, and existing members should be able to use the forum normally.

After the new system is in use, all new Discussions members can simply sign in with their Nokia account username and password. When they sign in for the first time, we just ask them to add a Discussions alias.

And if you already are a member here, you will just need to add your existing Discussions alias to your Nokia account when you sign in for the first time. This should be really easy.

If you don't already have a Nokia account, you can read more about it and create an account at http://account.nokia.com

I will post detailed instructions for any combination of these two accounts once we have turned our registration back on and change to using the Nokia account login.

If you have any questions about this, please post them here.

Thanks for your patience,
vandelay

I am quite honestly confused as to what account to use with any of Nokia's websites.  I currently have 5.  1 for email.nokia.com, 1 for www.forum.nokia.com, 2 for discussions.europe.nokia.com (the older one would let me authenticate, but not let me log in, which is StHalcyon, if you care to take a look), 1 for ovi.com, and 1 for the disappeared nokiaforbusiness.nokiausa.com site.

It's good to hear that there's some consolidation (is that correct) going on, but which ones are we consolidating?

What happened to the US version of nokiaforbusiness site?

Is there a way for you to look at my older account, which is StHalcyon?  If I use the wrong password, the popup login window will error out.  But if I use the correct password, it goes away and takes me back to discussions.europe.nokia.com, but then I'm still not logged in (with the Login / Register buttons still there).

The confusion is what Nokia is trying to put an end to. The "Nokia Account" which os being adopted at Nokia Support Discussions will be the one-stop-shop for all Nokia Online services, and is already the single login needed for all services at Ovi.com.

Other Nokia online services that continue to operatate will be gradually incorporated, and any new services will be integrated from day one.

OK, i was fool enough not to read the help for log in before i log in, i have an alias in the NOKIA discussions, by mistake i choose create new alias when it ask me this new question, i thought it is a new option to rename my current alias as i already log in with the discussion user name and password, so i lost my old alias and all the posts done with it 

How to log in with the old alias? is there another link? 

I Need my old alias back please

it is not logic to create a union for the IDs and you cannot fix it with it a full explain before you ask a surprise question like that

You would need to create a fresh Nokia Account and choose the option to link an existing Discussions account.

That link option isn't working for me.  When I try to log in or link my existing Nokia Forum ID to my Nokia (Ovi) ID I constantly get an HTTP 500 server error.  Been like this since last Friday.  Tried 3 different browsers across two platform and always get the same error.
