It happend, that I've got a new fast broadband connection and also a new email adress exactly a few days after the so called "screenshot" was taken from the SETI classic db. Now it was impossible for me to get the email which BOINC sent to complete the re-creation of my old account. In the meantime I've created a total new account, because I don't want to waste time, to find at least that I have to create a new one. If there is any other way to get the old credits back on my statistics? Even if they are really very humble ;) Best regards Humeyer |

Hi mikey, that's what I've done at first, but Boinc seems to use only the email adresses which was taken with the screenshot. They don't update any data. My SETI classic account works fine at the last few weeks, but no update of my new adress was sent to or token by Boinc. Thanks for trying. Regards Humeyer |

Most people believe that at the end of the SETI@Home Classic lifetime, they'll take another nifty snapshot and slide it on over to SETI BOINC. I would rather like to subscribe to this thought, but I don't really believe they'd do it. But anywho, if they do that, can't hurt to wait for the end of Classic's life, right? |
