I have two account numbers for BOIC Climate Prediction.
I have changed both usernames to the same, it forced me to use two different email addresses.
I would like to merge all the compters from the old account to the new account and do away with the 1st account without losing the points.
Whom do I contact, and is it possible to do this?

I had hoped that someone more knowledgeable than I would provide an answer, but my guess is, it can't be done.
Projects use a person's name and email address as an identifer.
So, when you changed your name to be the same as your other appearence, the softwear said: "this name/email already exists". And wouldn't let you merge your two selves into a 'siamanese twin'.
I think that the only way to get a single appearance, is to form a team containing your two appearances. But, as you are already in a team, I think that you are stuck with things the way they are.

Thanks for the heads up. I changed that account and updated the project work, then purged it, removed it from the computer, re-installed using the correct account.
What a PITA.
