I am participating in two projects at the moment (seti and Rosetta).

When I view other profiles, I see a section titled:
"Projects in which ~participant~ is participating"

I don't see this in mine. How do I get it to happen?...

Are you using the same email address and username? Do you have both projects on at least one of your computers?

I checked BoincStat and they also list your Seti account separately.

I checked BOINC Stats and I only find one Vortex that has the team of Georgia Penguin Group. That user is only listed with SETI@Home credits.

There are a couple of possibilities.

1) You have to actually have credits issued before the stats sites pick up the new account. The list of projects is actually based on a third party stats site.

2) You have used a different email address to join (or the case was different). BOINC projects used to store the email address as mixed case. Currently they save the email address as lower case when it is entered. However existing email addresses were not converted to lower case. The email address is hashed with an internal CPID to generate the external CPID. The external CPID is used by stats sites to determine which users from separate projects are the same user.

*duh*
I feel so dumb!
Thanks for the tip.

I in fact didn't use the same username or e-mail address when I joined the Rosetta project. *What was I thinking?* and I should have checked for that before posting here.

Thanks for jogging my brain functions...

I changed the above, do you know if my CPID will be re-calculated or if they'll just sinc up?
I checked the BOINC Stats site a few times and it doesn't show up yet, so I don't know if the changes will work...

OK, the steps that have to happen.

There has to be a computer in common between the two projects.

That computer has to contact each of the projects in the order A, B, A, B. (either project can be first).

At least one of the projects (possibly both) have to update their stats (S@H does this once per day, I believe that Rosetta is either twice or 4 times per day).

The stats site has to update from the project servers. Most of the stats sites do this a few times per day.

Then in the case of the section at the bottom of your user page, S@H has to update from one of the stats sites.

If all goes well, this should be complete in about 2 days after the connections from the client. If things go badly, it will be about a week. If things go really badly (i.e. one of the projects has an unexpected extended outage) it can take literally months.

The last time I changed my email address, about 40 of the projects synchronized in one day. All but 2 synchronized in one week. One took 6 months, and the last will not ever synchronize as it has ceased operations.

There are. I have 2 P4 3Ghz computers working on both projects.

Funny you should say that, this is what happened when I last updated rosetta:

"11/28/2007 7:28:29 PM|rosetta@home|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user
11/28/2007 7:28:29 PM|rosetta@home|Reporting 1 tasks
11/28/2007 7:28:35 PM|rosetta@home|Scheduler RPC succeeded
11/28/2007 7:28:35 PM|rosetta@home|Message from server: Project encountered internal error: shared memory
11/28/2007 7:28:35 PM|rosetta@home|Deferring communication for 1 hr 0 min 0 sec
11/28/2007 7:28:35 PM|rosetta@home|Reason: project is down"

Thanks for your help!
It's a "wait-and-see" game now...
