Registration and Signing In

• Why should I register?

  Registration allows you to fully participate in the community. After you register, you can:

  • Post new messages
  • Post responses to existing messages
  • Receive e-mail when someone responds to a specific post or thread
  • Exchange Private Messages with other members
  • Personalize your experience on the boards

• How do I register?

  Discussions are accessed with your universal Nokia account, which can be used for a wide range of Nokia and Ovi services (see www.ovi.com for more information.)
  
  You will also need to select a Discussions alias on top of your Nokia account. Your alias is the name that you will be known by in this community. It is also the only personal detail that is displayed to other Discussions users.
  
  If you already have a Nokia account, start by logging in with your Nokia account details and proceed to choose a Discussions alias. Your alias is the name that you will be known in this community, and is the only personal detail that is displayed to other Discussions users.
  
  Note that your Nokia account username and Discussions alias can be the same or different. You will always log in with your Nokia account username, but only your Discussions alias is displayed to other users.
  
  If you do not have a Nokia account, simply click the Register link on the Main page and fill in the registration form to create a Nokia account and choose your Discussions alias.
  
  If anything goes wrong in the registration, email us at support.discussions@nokia.com and we will try to help you out.

• What kind of information do I have to give when registering?

  When registering, you will be asked to create a Nokia account user name and password, and choose your Discussions alias. You will also be asked some personal information - your name and email address - and asked to verify that you are of legal age and have read the terms and guidelines applying to the service. Once you have created a Nokia account, you can access a wide range of services at www.ovi.com with the same username and password.

• Why must I be 18 or older to register?

  You must be 18 or over to ensure that your participation in Nokia Support Discussions is legal. Laws regarding copyright vary from country to country, and in order for you to be able to publish information on a Nokia website and take legal responsibility for that content, you must be 18 or over. If you are under 18, please have a parent or guardian to register for you.

• I registered, but I still cannot log in or post. What's wrong?

  If anything goes wrong in the registration, email us at support.discussions@nokia.com and we will see what we can do. Note that in some areas of the community, like "Discussions Guidelines", only Nokia personnel can start new topics or post comments.

• How do I sign in?

  Once you've registered and confirmed your registration, you can sign in to the community and begin personalizing your experience.

  1. Click Sign in on any page, or go to the Main page.
  2. Enter your Nokia account user name in the User Name field.
  3. Enter your Nokia account password in the Password field.
  4. Click Sign in.

  If you're using a shared computer, always remember to log out from Discussions after your session.

• Should I use the same name for my Nokia account username and my Discussions alias?

  That is possible and recommended, and it's certainly easier to remember them that way.
  
  Some Ovi services now show your Nokia account username as your public identity. So if you want to keep your Discussions "personality" separate from these other services, you can use another name in this community. On the other hand, most people probably want to be known by the same name across all Nokia and Ovi services. It's up to you.

• Why do I need to accept cookies in order to use Nokia Support Discussions?

• What if I forget my Discussions alias?

  If you've forgotten your alias, search for any previous posts that you might have made and try to locate the name. If that doesn't help, email support.discussions@nokia.com from the email address that you used when registering and we may be able to find out your alias.
  
  If these steps don't help, you will have to register again and create a new alias.

• What if I forget or want to change my password?

  You can change your password and manage your Nokia account details at http://account.nokia.com
  
  If you've forgotten your password, or you just want to change it, you can set a new one by having the system send a reset link to your e-mail address.

  1. Go to the Main page.
  2. Click the "Forgot your password? >>" link on the page.

  You'll be taken to a screen that will ask for your email address. A link to setting a new password will then be sent to the given e-mail address.

• I have already paired my accounts but I would now like to connect my alias to another Nokia account. Is that possible?

  Yes, just email support.discussions@nokia.com with your account details. If possible, send the email from the address that is associated with your Nokia account.
