As I finally got my old computer up and running again, I naturally got it running BOINC and attached it to all of the projects I'm currently participating in.

And naturally it was recognized as a new computer (new OS) on all projects, so I wanted to merge the two hosts that was basically the same computer - but this option isn't available on any of the projects...

Has merging computers been generally disabled?

well, when I do that I don't get any computers to select to merge ;) Usually there would be a checkbox with a computer name associated with the checkbox, but are none - only links to select all and unselect all. And it doesn't matter which host I try to do that with

You can't merge different cpu's or different OS, this means none of your 3 listed computers can be merged.

After all of the results for a particular have been completely handled, the computer can be deleted from the list.
