I was cheated out of 1600 hours credit because I changed my email and isp. Im co-founder of a group who WANTS to help fund seti. Big time.

Is this the behavior of a true research group, or of starving artist cult?

Ted, Nobody cheated you out of anything!

If you changed you email addy and registerd with SETI2 then your old credits won't show up. You must use your old email to get the credits to show here. But your credits are right were you left them.

[font='courier,courier new']Starving artists can't afford email because they can't afford food (hence, "starving").

"True research group" is the only option.[/font]

And here's your personal 'How to', Ted:
The old Seti HP is here.
If you want to see your Seti Classic stats in BOINC, then use this form. (Hope you still know your Seti Classic pwd...).
But be aware that in BOINC there is shown a snapshot of March 2005 only ATM. This will be updated to the day once Seti Classic shuts down.

Thank You for your kind help.

I wish to apologise for my peppery posting I wrote earlier.
Someone wrote after one of my earlier attempts, that the folks running the project ,"have better things to do than look for your lost password" and I will admit I got peeved and let my mouth run before my brain got started.

Again I apologise to All and thank You for your help.

In fact they do ;-)=
As a matter of fact, however, Dr. Dave Anderson has always found the time to help a member who didn't know any more his Classic pwd and had changed his mail-addy, even if it could take some time.

But as it seems in your case this wasn't even needed as you still had your Classic pwd.
