Ok this is an ongoing problem. As of 21st January 2011 my daughters account split and
showed up twice in the team stats page and since then I've been trying to solve the problem
as this is a family team with a little competition among our 3 kids.

I've tried the FAQ approach and also posted twice also on this problem with no success
with the advice I've received which is most appreciated albeit a tad disappointing so now
I'm looking at accessing the duplicate account which holds credit but no longer seems to be
updating to see if there is a way of accessing this account and thus bringing all CPID into
line and hopefully merge the duplicate accounts

Using search for my daughters user name I get this

Search shaz BoincStats Account page

Select options 1st entry shaz The Skulk Cubs gives me

Option beside 1st entry page

Select options 2nd entry shaz The Skulk Cubs gives me

Option beside 2nd entry page

Now I select option>>Detailed stats beside each individual Project

1st option shaz The Skulk Cubs Detailed stats / project

Aqua detailed stats

DNETC detailed stats

NFS detailed stats

Note all project CPID are the same aa70801e3680fa70b9ba35450c49ee8d

Now 2nd option shaz The Skulk Cubs Detailed stats / project

Aqua detailed stats

Note now CPID is different 70178055b6ece67c0424e8d40ea640e8

Question How do I access the second account of shaz to renew CPID and hopefully
align the 2 accounts if possible.

Thank you for any and all suggestions which might help to resolve this problem.

The problem is not at BOINCstats it is at Aqua@home.

Your daughter 'shaz' has two accounts at Aqua. Since there are two different CPIDs at Aqua as well, this all points to those two accounts having different email addresses.

Lets call the email + account on all projects the first/primary and the account + email just on Aqua the second.

Since the second account has more credits at Aqua I would suggest
- log into Aqua with the first account
- change its email to something else, if you have a working email not already used with Boinc I would use it, else <something>@example.com will work. If you want you could also change the account name, to something like shaz2.
- now log into Aqua with the second account
- change its email to her primary email (used on all the other projects)

Now wait a day or two and you should see the credits swap on the stats sites so the first account has the 26K+ from Aqua.


Note: If you ask the admin at Aqua they might be willing to merge the two accounts together, but I don't know if it is worth it for 14 credits.

Thanks Jeff17 Now looking at Aqua@Home project page to follow
your suggestion as I think I may have used my spare email
address to set up her account originally before setting up the
3 kids individual email accounts.

Thanks again
