I have a friend who's account got deleted.
What is up?

Is this going to be fixed?, ie if they create a new account will they get their credits back?

I have a friend who's account got deleted.
What is up?

Who was it?

What they need to do is give me their previous id number and then create a new account and i will restore their credits.

I find it difficult remembering my MW user ID.

I presume for the accidentally deleted account users crunch, if they crunch for other projects as well they could give you their cross project ID as another way for you to reach their original account to restore their credits? This is different to their strong account key, though.

Go away, I was asleep

Well, that likely won't work. However, all the account information I believe is cached for some time as users have been able to give me URLs of their previous accounts and it gives me all their information. I'm not sure how many folks are affected. Hopefully it's < 10.

If they crunch for another project they can get any of their acct IDs from the links in the Projects in which you are participating section in their acct information.

Just in case anyone finds this of use - my signature is made by boinc.mundayweb.com and it holds all the account numbers for all the projects I crunch in. That us where I could go if I wanted to know my account number in any project.

It's a nice sig to - the only sig I know that lets me include my SETI stats.

Dave

My friend told me that has been in contact with you and you have his account back up.
Thanks for the fast response.
Thanks for fixing the problem.

Keith

When/if restrictions are in place to post it might help new users and even old ones to know what they need to do to post, (ie. Rac of 50<).

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

Dave:

I'm forwarding this on behalf of Francis Butts, whose account got the chop.

I did get my computer ID number for the project since sending my e-mail to Dave.
So if you don't mind posting a note in the forum to see if that will work instead of the strong or weak account key

his CPID is 3617b699c88dc109cfad443c0168912a, and is the only cruncher for "Cayman Islands", which has also disappeared.

Is this enough info to get things rolling?

Maybe his ID N° is 1055??

Cheers,

Chris

His id is 1055,

in my stats I don't delete the user accounts even if they disappear (though they are flagged for deletion at a later date if required...). It's kind of a bug, but this kind of thing has happened enough that I stopped the auto-deletion.

CPID stats

Bok

Yes, but he has to create a new account and give me his new id so i can change his new id back to his old id.

On a lighter note.
The accept new members is now unchecked under our team and I am not able to turn it back on.

So Fish can not rejoin the team.

W00T! Back again! But I lost all of my RAC (it was a couple hundred too), and there's no work so I can't put my profile back. :(
I wonder why our accounts were deleted anyway...

[edit] Crap! I lost my "join date" too... :( [/edit]

Thank you very much, Dave! :)

Thanks, Dave for your fast answer.

The problem is successfully fixed. Now I'm crunching wus without troubles.

(Ooops. I've just realized that I've lost the forum configuration).

Saludos, Rafa.

Eppur si muove

What about the stuff deleted on my account??
Will that be back too?

I shouldnt have anything to do with this
account changes, and still my account
was messed up.

What happens?

-Edit- If you Dave have some left over Rac and
credit after the changes that you dont know where
to put, I can take them. I have room enough. ;-))

---

Yes..if there is any spare RAC lying about just send some this way.
