Logging into BOINC

barberj · Post by **barberj** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 7:02 pm

I have an account set up for malariacontrol.net with a user id and password which work fine.
When I visit BOINCstats website, this username/password don't work.
Is a separate login needed for this site?
If so, is it worth registering for?
I can already see all my stats.

Welcome to our forum barberj (even if you are a member of another team).

There is no real need to log into BOINCstats if all you want to do is check up on your statistics, but if you do want to login then yes it's separate from your account on Malaria Control. This is also true for all BOINC projects, you'll need to set-up a separate account for each one you join (even though each project will use the same cross-project ID so that all your stats can then be linked up).

Welcome to the UBT forum barberj

I've been doing this boinc thing for quite a while now and never had the need to register at boincstats. Any questions I've had in the past have been answered either on the projects own message boards or here on the UBT forum. There's a lot of knowledgeable people around more than willing to help.

But if you want to join boincstats, then like James says, it's a separate login/password to your malaria.net login/password

Thanks for the tips guys.
I left that team (couldn't register on their forum) and thought I had joined this one. Will check.

Just make sure you use the same email address for registration at any Stats related or Stats generating Site (99.9% of time that means Project Sites & BOINCStats - or the latter's equivalent) else the stats collection goes wrong and you end up with separate stats related accounts and a bit of a nightmare to resolve.

The Crossproject ID does rely on the email address, change the latter, and a new Crossproject ID gets generated resulting in split credit awards across different accounts.
