WOW, 1 million credits processed... "Credit: 306,682" ??? Maybe credit from other projects? Anyways, you have no connected computers anymore and your RAC has fallen to zero; install BOINC, connect to SETI@Home, complete even a single work unit and once it validates you're good to post in the forums for between one and two weeks. ![]() |

Or perhaps you have created a second account, as the one you are posting from hasn't processed any work units for SETI@Home since September 2014. And as My Kevvy noted has nowhere near one million credits. |

Found it, somehow there is a second account that shows the million credits, very weird that the new email address was never picked up and the old is still active |

Email addresses are not automatically updated, one has to update them yourself. You aren't the first, and won't be the last to be caught by this. I sense the next question you are going to ask is "Can I merge the two accounts?" - another common question, sadly the answer is "No"; the reason being there have been quite a number of hijack attempts where someone has tried to gain control of another person's account without their permission. (I'd love to be able to merge with my oldest account which dates back to the very earliest days of SETI@Home in 1999, but because I made a naff choice when setting up my current account I can't) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |
