We'll provide a heads up in advance of final date.

but then again what difference would knowing that make really?

None

Stay tuned, we'll come up with a way to conveniently transfer post counts from the old forum for those who'd like to do so.

Note however that post counts, transferred or otherwise, won't affect reputation points. Only reactions can increase or decrease reputation points. So be sure to give a positive reaction if you find someone's post helpful! 👍

@Chuck E Baby try again

Would you please consider reverting the forum to all black text or possibly to a darker orange with more contrast. 

Hi Bill, thanks for letting us know. We can provide a theme to help address that before long. 

Happy holidays all!

maybe there's a mod to move this question.

Done - thanks!

@Bill Schreiber et al - please go into your Account Settings and try again. Should be able to change it now. 👍

when I go to my avatar menu and choose account settings, I can't seem to adjust / change my display name. Email, yes, but display name no. Help?

Would I correct in presuming your display name, chamlin, is now as you intend it?

Not sure where to ask this... did BandLab inherit the other Cakewalk applications- in particular Z3TA+ 2 and Rapture Pro? If so will they be modernised and re-released?

All Cakewalk technology assets were acquired, including the instruments. Can't provide specifics at this time, but we haven't forgotten about instruments and effects.

Not sure how to embed the video, anyone who can point me in the right direction?

I just past the link - either from the address bar/:
 

...or the share link YT provides:

Tip: Don't type 'return' immediately after pasting the link. Just paste, wait 1 second, and it should appear. 👍

Great request! Different forum types have different capabilities. Voting isn't accessible in a standard forum type, but perhaps we can consider adding a Q&A sub-forum to this one. 

In the meantime, I think using Polls in this forum would be an awesome way to get feedback on specific ideas. 

Also the sorting feature can be useful, such as sorting this forum by Most Replies:

@jimfogle why yes, you can do that

The bummer is the limitations on the sig. That is so 1980s.

@Bapu what limitations do you mean specifically?

Hmm, your link works for me. I'll look into it...

Unread Content is a really useful forum feature if you haven't discovered it yet (it's a pretty inconspicuous button).  It allows you to sort different types of activity: followed posts, topics you created, etc.

Related to this though, is there any forum specific code for embedding YouTube or other hosted content?

Certain links should embed automatically, YouTube being one of them. You’ll know right away if it works, as it will embed in the body of your post immediately upon paste, before you submit.

There’s a 24 hour grace period from launch where anything goes. 😉

They intentionally left it out to save us from spending money on crap we don't need, and focus on the music. Maybe

😂Consider it an intervention!

Sorry, couldn't find a better place to ask this question: Have we got a forum's dark theme?

Not yet... great question!😎

Jesse - I asked this elsewhere, but now I can't find it: What about signatures? They can be darned helpful, and I don't see a way to add them to my profile.

By direct link: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/settings/signature/

By navigation:

1. In the user menu, click Account Settings

2. Then in Settings, click Signature

Out of curiosity I clicked the "Hide" button on my comment that you responded to. I see that the comment has completely disappeared, with no way to get it back or even see it. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

We're still getting our sea legs here. 😅Staffers and Admins can see hidden posts, but Noel probably didn't notice the state. Anyway I don't think we need the hide feature, just seems confusing so I'll suppress it for now.

I would like to use my old forum name of Grem. But when I go to Account Settings, I see "Display Name" but I see no way of changing it. Help!!

Looks like you got it!

Any idea on what will happen to the content/posts from the other Cakewalk forums? - http://forum.cakewalk.com/Stephen

The old forums will become read-only soon, but they'll remain in place as an archived resource. 👍

I just switched back to Cakewalk by Bandlab after trying a few competitors over the year, and I'm pleased to see this new forum starting.  I was Riojazz on the old forum.

Welcome back! If you want to use your old forum name, change your Display Name in Account Settings from your avatar menu.
