Changing iTunes Store Apple ID to match my iCloud Apple ID...potential problems?

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can give me on what problems to expect.
I know Apple does not allow merging of Apple ID's. I have 2 Apple ID's...one that I use only for iTunes & App store purchase and also for posting on this community support board...another Apple ID I use only for iCloud services. I would like to just work with one ID for everything going forward so I have decided to start using my iCloud ID for everything. I would like to just forget the other Apple ID for good and not deal with it again. But before I make this transition, I am trying to anticipate any problems I might have.
I know my previous purchases are tied to my old ID so if I change the iTunes store ID on my computer to the iCloud ID and also change the ID in the iTunes & App Store settings on my iOS devices to the iCloud ID, will I have any problems with updating my previously purchased apps or using my previously purchased apps? And will I have problems with playing my previous song purchases?
Also, what do you suggest I do about my support community posting information which is also under my old iTunes Store Apple ID? I don't suppose I can transfer all my previous posts and profile to my iCloud ID or can I?
Any other problems or issues that I am overlooking that I should be concerned about? Any suggestions?
Thanks again for your help.

What is being done about users inability to use their Apple ID at iTunes Store. I do not have another Apple ID, I do not want to change my password and I want my phone to work as it should.

You can try signing out and signing back in. You can also go into Settings > Safari and Clear all Cookies. You can even try logging into the iTunes Store on a computer and downloading a free app or something.
If none of those work, then you will have to wait for the issue to be resolved on Apple's end.

You can't redeem that certificate in another country's store. You also can't change the iTunes Store country with an unspent balance.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
