forum user names

[gargonknight 1]

hi, like the look of the new forum, just one thing to add or maybe ive missed it, is username.

to log into the forum i used the bandlab app login and see tha it uses my name rather than my username. will this be implemented?

[James G 100]

I logged in with my CW username and password

[scook 4,774]

I guess that is what I did too. Did not pay much attention to the process.

[gargonknight 1]

did it come up with your username or real name?

 

[Jonathan Sasor 971]

You can set a display name in the account settings.

[scook 4,774]

You beat me to it.

 

Use the menu in the upper right to get into Account Settings and change the display name

[Paul G 19]

I had to log in with my email address but my username showed up without my having to do anything.

You can't change the displayed name directly if you used your existing BandLab account to log in.         However you can change the BandLab name and by default this change will be reflected in this forum. That is, change your real name for a desired nickname. If you wish to use you real name for the Bandlab, you need to untcik " Update my display name here when my BandLab username changes", then go back to you BandLab account and change your name back.

Yay!!!!!

My Rowlf is at home on the new forum😀

And it appears that one you sign in with your BandLab account, that's it. Your not able to sign in with your old Cakewalk forum username.

[Lord Tim 1,556]

I'm pretty sure that's what I did, but then again I think I was "Lord Tim" up on Bandlab anyway. Let me see if it'll let me change it...

[Lord Tim 1,556]

OK, in Account Settings there's a checkbox for Update Username when Bandlab Name Changes (or something like that). If you uncheck that, does it allow you to edit your username here independently?

Hi there. 

[JoseC 122]

Ok, so it seems that somehow I've kept my user name through all changes.

Same here, I couldn't log in with my Cakewalk's username and had to use email adress instead but then my nick (username) just popped up without me doing anything. Same story on Bandlab account. Weird.

[gargonknight 1]

thanks jon and soundwise, feel more comfortable with username

[John 445]

I used my email to log in. 

[InstrEd 4,373]

I had to use my email account as well but then my user name was there. So all is good.

... that moment when you scroll back through a thread and you realised you missed that someone already gave an actual answer to the one you took a guess at. 😑 *hands the microphone to @Soundwise and goes and sits down*

I used my BandLab credentials which worked fine... Greetings.
