scook Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I guess that is what I did too. Did not pay much attention to the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargonknight Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 did it come up with your username or real name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Sasor Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 You can set a display name in the account settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 You beat me to it. Use the menu in the upper right to get into Account Settings and change the display name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grem Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tim Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tim Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoseC Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Ok, so it seems that somehow I've kept my user name through all changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
