Topic 84861

I decided to stop by here after a member mentioned this site and I hadn't taken a look for a while.

I have a Albert account on the Boinc Manager on this host but when I tried to go to Albert and sign in it said I didn't have an account (even though it has been on this pc for a few years)

So just now I had to "join" using the same name and email address just to log in to ask about this here.

Why do you suppose this happened?

Was there an update to this website?

This is my original account http://albertathome.org/account/ from 2005

And of course I am on the new version.

No big deal......just wondering.

I don't know but there is a code in one of your Boinc files that should NEVER be posted but CAN be used to log in with if you are having problems. I don't see mine right now so can't tell you where it is but it was in a Boinc file and is like a 20 digit long sequence unique to you. On the web under Your Account it is called Account Key, there is a weak and a full access one. You CAN use the full access one to log in with instead of a username and password.

OMG - that's pretty old indeed. Welcome back!

There have been a couple of changes to Albert (hard- and software) since back then. The current "user" database is basically an old copy of the accounts from Einstein (some 2 years ago). The "account key" is kept in the file account_albert.phys.uwm.edu.xml in your BOINC data directory, but if you recently joined again on this host it should have been overwritten there. However if you have the same account (id) over on Einstein, you should be able to log into your old account here using the key from einstein (account_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml).

Still no luck here

Still no luck here Bernd,

Check this link http://albert.phys.uwm.edu/user_search.php?search_string=JAHMAGIC&search_type=name_prefix&country=any&profile=either&team=either&action=Search

All 3 of those are me and you can also see I have a group with 42 members on that first one all though they are all at 0 credits.

The reason I just checked is because on one of my hosts I decided to download some Alberts and after one was finished I looked at my account and it shows no hosts and no tasks finished or even they 12 I have waiting to be done.

I have read credits aren't something to see here much but I think I should see the tasks I have and the ones that get finished.

Not that I really need more since I run 2-Einstein cuda's , 2-core T4T's and LHC's all at the same time on 6 of my hosts.
