SPLIT CPID's / Accounts

[Alez]

Go here http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_classic.php and follow the instructions to claim your seti classic workunits. It will combine your accounts and will give you a record of the classic units completed but not the points. All you need is the old email address and it will be linked to your new account.

Thanks Alez... but getting a bit confused (must be age or something...) Don`t like a doppelganger on the table ...any help (even via PM with some details gladly given) , would be a boon... as said in my PS3 post, quite rusty at the mojo... :-0

Ok Stewart, not sure what the issue is but as far as I remember ( did this a while ago )
Go to Seti and log into your account using your current user id and password.
Go to Seti home page.
On the left ( getting started ) , under #2
Special instructions:

For SETI@home Classic participants, select this option.

it will take you to Instructions for SETI@home Classic users page.
under
If your SETI@home Classic email address is no longer valid:
select
Claim your SETI@home Classic workunits.

If I remember it will now ask you for your old e mail address you used on seti clasic. Fill it in and it should combine your two accounts under your current account.

Follow this through and hopefully all will be well :) If not post up the problem or PM me if you don't want the post visible

Thanks Alez. It would have worked fine... But I have 2 Boinc accounts now and they cannot be reconciled (apparently).. I seem to recall, in distant times, that when seti went boinc, my classic credits were converted. Thus 2 accounts! So, going to have a play with Linux and PS3....(wailing and gnashing imminent) ; )

Good luck with that
