	Over the years, I seem to have accidentally created more than one account. When looking up my stats on Boincstats.com, I noticed I have 3 accounts, all with the same name. So far I've been able to login with 2 of them, the third still trying. Does anyone know if there is a way to merge these accounts so I have only one left? Regards from Locutus76 from the Netherlands ____________

	Erm...thanks, but a simple yes or no would have sufficed. You really didn't have to paste 8 threads just to prove that it's been asked before. I did a short search and didn't find the answer straight away so I just posted the question if it's possible or not. I know what accounts I have, just not whether it was possible to merge them. BTW: according to boincstats, I'm listed 3 times. ____________

	You really didn't have to paste 8 threads just to prove that it's been asked before. The reason to post the links is not to "prove" it was asked. They are for you (and possibly others) to read what can (and how) and what can't be done in the case like this depending on circumstances.
