Topic 187251

When I signed up to be notified about Einstein@home, I used a different e-mail address from the one I used with other BOINC projects. When I got notified, I already had an account created. I was able to change the e-mail address to the same one I use for other BOINC projects, but it looks like it's not linked to my general BOINC preferences. Is there any way to get my Einstein@home account linked in with my other BOINC accounts?

I think it has something to do with the Cross Project ID. In some days it should be in every account the same.

The general preferences

The general preferences should update to be all the same after a while. Make certain that the Einstein prefs are not overwriting the others.

[edit]
The CPID should eventually line up again also, although it may take a new value.

Give both of these a few days.
