I recently noticed that I am twice in the BOINC system: I have two users with about the same name (one of them is with capital at the front) One is for the setiathome the other is for climateprediction. My question is: Is there any way to merge the two users into one, in order to have better ranking in the statistics? Regards ID: 9966 · Reply Quote

If you got to the <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/home.php">Your account</a> page you'll find a link to <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/edit_email_form.php">change your email address</a> and one that allows you to <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/edit_user_info_form.php">change your user name</a>.

I changed both of them. Will it sum up the results of the two accounts? Isn't it matter that for the two accounts have different CPIDs? Thanks! ID: 9983 · Reply Quote

Should do when the stats sites next collect the data. > Isn't it matter that for the two accounts have different CPIDs?
