Message 9966 - Posted: 25 Feb 2005, 9:04:25 UTC

Hi! 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

If your email is the same for both then the stats sites can track you as the same person. The email is case sensitive and should be all lower case.

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>.

&gt; your user name</a>.
&gt;

Ok. 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!

Yup, your name has definitely changed ;)

Should do when the stats sites next collect the data.

As long as you've got both projects running on at least one machine they should agree on a single CPID after they've communicated with their servers.
