Nom changes

I see Nominet have increased the font size of their new and improved services area for blind people like me.

more bloody passwords to try to remember as well

not bad
get £5 million extra in sales and just increase font size with couple lines of code and add an extra password
great work if you can get it

WTF!!

So where do I get the alternative to log into my registrar account or normal account. Same email address!! It just logs me into my registrar account with no damn way of accessing all the domains on the account I keep most of my domains on!

All I can say is, what an f*cking eyesore, it was far better the way they had it previously, why do people try to change things to supposedly make them better, when all it does is make them worse, harder to find things, and plain ugly with over sized fonts

Agreed

This will take some getting use to.

It looks like Nominet have centered everything around the email address, disregarding who owns what in a legal sense.

It looks like the new system forces you to enter every line of the new registrant from scratch when transferring in a batch of names, whereas before you could just log in and transfer into that identity. That's a lot more work, and it also means you have to be VERY careful to enter EXACTLY the same info every time or you're going to end up with fragmented sets of domains each with different Whois data.

Correction: you can copy a previous registrant if you choose "choose existing registrant" but that's extremely counter-intuitive as in the .com world that's often the wording used for an intra-registrar transfer where you want to keep the Whois unchanged.

Perhaps they should suffix "choose existing registrant" with the word "profile" or offer a little more pop up help with that since it confused you at first?

I had a chat to a very friendly lady from their support team about the wording this morning, after I was temporarily at a loss. Hopefully she'll pass the message on and they'll concoct something less ambiguous.

You are not able to merge accounts with the new system. Contacted Nominet and was told that I will have to ask my registrar to merge any accounts.

 

[namestrands]

how do you merge?
