The first iteration of Unity Developer Network is now live featuring unified search and single-sign-on.

In order to access your community services, you need to first sign in with- or create your Unity Developer Network account. You may already have a Unity Developer Network account as existing Asset Store and online store accounts have been automatically migrated.
Once you are signed into your account and navigate to the forum or Answers, you will be prompted to either claim your old account there or to specify a new user name in case you do not have a pre-existing account.
Existing feedback accounts have been archived and a new account will automatically be created for you with ten new votes. Pre-existing feedback items remain active.

Notes:

If you previously logged into Answers using your forum credentials, you will have to use the Answers reset password function to specify a temporary password for use when claiming the account.
You need to be registered with both a forum and an Answers account. Otherwise the claiming process will not be completed.

How long until the forum is back online? And the feedback site isn't working. Nothing shows up if you click on an idea, and there is no account clai$$anonymous$$g.

We're working on the missing content in the feedback section. Regarding clai$$anonymous$$g the account, please see point three. The forum is online, but is not able to deal with the current load. We are currently adding more servers to the load balancer to combat the traffic.

How can I find my old feedback items if I don't remember all entries I created or voted on?

So yesterday I had access to the forum, but today it can't find me anymore. I also can't login - when I try it says it's fine, but then I can't post and it shows the login button, but clicking it doesn't work. Everything seems fine on Answers. One problem might be that I had 2 whydoidoit accounts on the forum by the look of things and I successfully claimed both. I can't post on the forum to ask the question there!

I've completely lost all ability to comment, or do anything else except post answers and access the moderation queue. Yes, I deleted cookies, logged out, and so on.

I don't get it... why are always some people have trouble like that when something get changed. The page should get viewed the same for all people (except karma specific stuff of course). I had no problems since the change.

The only thing is: when i close the browser i get logged out, even when i say i want to stay logged-in. That's a bit annoying, but nothing serious. It seems the cookie for the UDN thing has a period only for the current session, while the UA specific cookie has the usual month, but that doesn't help much when the UDN isn't logged in.

Thanks to $$anonymous$$ryptos for the hint of clearing the cache, which was the one thing I didn't do, which finally worked. Although, it's certainly possible to make changes to websites without making people go through that.

Yep that fixed it for me on my laptop which was having the same problem

The login worked fine but (on my iPad at least):

I cannot comment
I cannot view extra comments with the show all link

Here or on the forums? The forums are currently buckling under the load. We're currently adding more servers to the load balancer to deal with the demand.

It was here! But the link just appeared - promise it wasn't there for the last 15$$anonymous$$s. Feel free to delete this answer when you've read this :). teething trouble I guess!

It's all fine for me. Everything works as expected and the new moderation features looks a bit more usable ;)

However i don't see comments on unity feedback. It tells me how much comments a request has, but the comments-DIV is actually empty.

Same problem as @Mike here: I cannot comment yet.

And by the way, my feedback account was not properly reset: I got the new 10 points but I still had some ideas with vote on them. So I claimed those votes back and now I have 17 votes ;-)

I have the opposite - I can not answer but write a comment. $$anonymous$$y workaround is at the moment to convert a comment to an answer. Shout work in the opposite way.

it's really amazing that they did not bother testing on the popular browsers and OS.. unity really only works on $$anonymous$$ac and PC currently so there are not that many combos

I am needing some help with my account, previously I had a banned account called "Phoenix Developers" and recently I created an account "Runeflako". Now when I log on with my email, it logs me onto my old account that was banned. I need some help having this problem resolved.

The support $$anonymous$$m is helping you with this. Forum users who had more than one account registered with the same email are having problems, since it was not thought possible for vBulletin to have multiple accounts that shared an email address. (Else when we banned someone, they'd instantly create a new account...)
