Hi,

my total credit number is o.k. However, when I add up the credits of my computers there are 40,000 credits missing! On Tuesday I had a major problem with my new MacPro and had to reinstall the system. I migrated all data from a bootable clone. Since that time the 40,000 credits that were done on that computer do not appear in the computers stats anymore although they are correctly displayed in the total credit number.

If you had to reinstall stuff on the computer, boinc included, the computer stats file was probably started new since it seemed that it was a "new" host.

stefsaber,

I understand that. However, in this case the newly installed computer/system would receive a new computer ID and the previous installation would remain in the stats with the old number. But this is not the case. The 40,000 credits that were done on that computer before the new system install are simply gone. Very weird!

Hi Martin....

I am on my 4th computer since 2000...and I had forgotten at least twice now to merge my computers inside the user's area ....just a thought...


Stan,

same situation here. Unfortunately there is nothing I could merge. The previous system simply dissapeared.

Or you deleted it from your list, a thing you can do when it has no tasks in the list anymore.
