It may take a while, 24 hours in the least. It may also need a communication from your BOINC to both projects, I'm not sure if it was propagated that way or in another way. ID: 1870737 ·

I don't have it because I changed my nickname and email address over there - even set the password to something I cannot remember. Can't even remember what email address I set it to, I think it was a garbage one (non-existing). So if I ever wanted it back, I'd have to go through the administrator route or register again.

Saved it, and ignored it. Apparently that didn't work. Then a reason came up to startup on SetiBeta again (a new cpu test) so I signed back in, and it reset to my default email address. I wouldn't mind dropping the "volunteer tester" title if I could still run SetiBeta on an as needed basis. I think I have that figured out (don't get new tasks) but would still need to login to SetiBeta to be able to examine results and change settings as necessary. I will look at your responses and see if I can tinker with it again. After all, I want my cake and to eat it too :) Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). ID: 1871929 ·

And my "nickname" to something different. Then I logged out and then back in under the new "junk" email address to help me remember to not use the "real" email address for SetiBeta. Now lets see if I "fade" or not. Thank you for your help Jord. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). ID: 1871930 ·
