How do I reattach to my LHC@home account? I'd earlier detatched, by mistake (believe it, or not). Thanks, in advance. |

Hi Jim, Open BOINC and go to Tools on the top line. Select Attach to Project and type in http://lhcathome.cern.ch. The next screen gives you a choice of new or existing account. Click existing and then type in your user name and password. It should go and find your details, but will assign a new host id, which you can merge later. I see you already have 3 identical hosts listed so I assume these are in fact the same machine. Once you have your account reattached go to the computers link in your account and select merge at the bottom. This will combine all the ghosts into a single host. You won't lose any of your credits as they are all on the same account; it's just tidier to merge them into one machine. There has been a problem that the guys have been working on whereby new host ids have been assigned on each connection but hopefully this will be sorted soon. This is why the stats aren't being exported to the external credit sites; there's just too many (and increasing) ghost hosts. If you do all this quickly, you may even still be in time to get some of the latest batch of work that's available :) I hope that gets you sorted. |
