Yea, this is a Charlie Foxtrot process.  Forum Software tells you pass word does not match when you have typed in only one - I guess the software can foretell the future of bad typos.  I just ignored the problem hints and chugged on.  My biggest problem was the old software wouldn't save any password changes so I was stuck w/ the cakewalk gobbley-gook pw and had an extensive list of them for every time the software changed or my computer was upgraded.  So it was trial and error on the updating the new and improved forum software.  It is all very sad.

To follow up my issue with #11...  I was sent a new password (did Ryan trigger this?) and I still can't log in with this password. I tried clearing cache/cookies and using different browsers.

Hi, AT. I'm thinking that the script involved with the email/confirm email code may be embedded into the third party forum software because we are still on that system. It might just be a new feature in the software the bakers are taking advantage of to consolidate the databases or whatever (still learning about website administration so I'm just guessing). I have experienced this on other sites where as you enter the initial password (before typing in the confirmation) it will warn you that the passwords don't match. The only difference is that on those other sites when you do type in the correct confirmation the warning goes away. That did not happen here so I'm think it's a forum software glitch and not Cakewalk's fault.
 
I guess really we gotta ask ourselves whether we want the Bakers spending their time building/coding a website or using this prepackaged software for the forum and dealing with its quirks. It seems to me the guys probably spent a good deal of time learning how to manipulate the software to make this update happen. It is probably in an effort to foil some of the spammers and sock puppets as well as add some extra functionality/integration for the legit users.
 
All purely speculation on my part though but I do appreciate their efforts. I am right in the middle of studying all this type of thing and good lord is it ever complex. lol
 
Hope you've been well. Cheers.

Do you mean you can't login to the store? You are here soo... huh? Anyway the "Internet Is Broken" thing usually pops up for me when their servers are getting slammed or they are fiddling with something in the background. Maybe wait a bit and try again. One of my first threads here was me flipping out about that error. lol

Hi Alex,
 
I didn't trigger it but anyone can trigger password resets at https://www.cakewalk.com/My-Account/Lost-Password
 
You'll have to excuse the obvious question, but how are you posting if you're not logged in :)
 
To clarify for everyone, in case this might be what you're running into, but the "My Store Account" link that brings you to our online store is not currently part of Single Sign On. Could that be what you're running into? Sorry for the confusion if that's the case!
 

Hey Ryan,
 
Nice job! I really like new account layout. Especially how the Products section lists all purchases by name and you can click to reveal more details. It's much more organized this way.
 
Congrats to you guys and gals at Cakewalk!
 
Scott

lol... I'm still not sure where this "My Account" link is (aside from clicking scook's link) but whatevs. Do I need to allow an extra script? I only have the usual two that need to be enabled to use the forum which are the main cakewalk.com domain and googleapis.
 
Doesn't matter. I'm just being curious. Guess I should go to my other system and log into my store to see what's up there.

I would doubt that the devs who code Sonar are working on the web forum - a different set of skills and I would guess a different set of folks.
 
Although I bet that the CW web team have their hands full right now. 

@ruben... I'm sure they do. I however am not noticing any changes at all to either the forum or my store account at the moment. Aside from the little registration process I went through everything is the same and I'm not seeing any of the stuff being mentioned here unless I click on scook's link. Then it just tells me I haven't bought anything.
 
Weird but hey... I'm cool with that.
 
I should probably go do some other stuff seeing as how my computers didn't explode and my brain hasn't been sucked out the back of my skull.

Ryan I covered all this in post #11, no I can't trigger a password reset and I can only log in via a hyperlink sent to me when account was migrated.
 
I did get one password sent to me and it will not work on any browser with cookies/cache cleared.
 
I'll paste to you #11 your convenience please read!  !!!

I can authenticate via verification link that was sent to me.
However I can't log in with old password.
I cant change password whilst logged in.
If I click "Lost password" and enter username I get "The internet is broken".
 
Help I need a password :).
Thanks!
 

 
I'm not being stupid here and I've tried logging in everywhere.
 HELP!!!!
