I actually figured out that there is no specific button or link to go to it. It's just the login page. Once you are logged in then you are on the My Account page with the links to your store account. Once you navigate to the forum everything is the same as it was before.
 
At least I THINK that's what's going on. Otherwise I am visiting an entirely different website than everyone else.

Can we get a download all registrations and serials as text option?



+1 An export process for registration info would be useful for those maintaining a local copy of the data.

To clarify, the new My Account page is at www.cakewalk.com/My-Account
 
The reason most people coming from the forum are probably not seeing it is because after logging in it has logic to return you to the URL you just came from (in this case the forum).
 
As we incorporate this with other areas of our website we'll make sure it's easy for everyone to navigate to it from our main site. In the meantime we didn't want to confuse people trying to log into the store to make a purchase, so for people to check it out they'll have to navigate directly. Sorry for the confusion with this guys!

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't aware how many people like to save an export until reading some of the feedback comments coming in. We'll consider it. At the moment though, our goal is to make sure the page accurately reflects what products people own versus making it do special things. It's not going anywhere, so if it's accurate and you have an internet connection, you can get to your data.

Whilst we are at it a sort feature for product registrations would be nice. By date, by alphabetical order, also group by product or serial number. BTW it seems to generate the product list everytime (long pause) so I suspect it needs some caching introduced.
 
It's maybe too late but I really do recommend DotNetNuke which is opensource and can be downloaded via codeplex. You can have a site up and running in 15 minutes. It saves you a lot of custom scripting (you can write your own customized modules for it or even adapt other peoples source code). It's really expandable and cheap to maintain (and runs on ASP.NET/C#/IIS/SQL Server) and kicks the living sh*t out of Wordpress. Everything is modular in approach even skinning. Developers love it as well as consumers. There is something for everybody and there are providers for more or less everything.
 
Cheers

This kinda sux.
 
Yes I am here. No problem.
 
But.... The Bapu did the migration thing. He can log on but he can't post anything. WTH?
 
<removed speculation> See post 87.

{SOLVED} See post #87
 
OK, I cleared cache and it's still no good.
 
Sumpin' is up with forum accounts that do not have a store account.
 
As soon as they try to post, they are logged off.

Based on Ryan's recent post, I was waiting for the RFC for the page layout but this is similar to what I had in mind, a tabular layout more like an updated version of the old store page (i.e. database style options like sort , export, etc.).
