Merge Accounts?

Distributed Computing Projects Folding @ Home

Figure it’d be easier to ask here than searching all over. Does Folding have a way to merge accounts? For some reason, a while back, I had created a second account accidentally with a “_” between my name whereas my main account is the same but without that underscore.

Anyone know?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Folding doesn’t allow a space in the name or at least it didn’t when I set up my folding account years ago. I had to put the underscore in to make mine P51_Mustang.

How do I choose a username?

To check if a name is already being used, use this search tool.

Type your name above (where it says “YourName”) to see if that user name is already being used. You can also choose not to have a username and just donate your CPU time anonymously (user name = anonymous).

You can choose any name you like, as long as it contains only letters or numbers (to insert a space, you can use the underscore “_” character). If you choose your email address as your username, we will NOT print your full email address. Instead, just the part before the @ sign will be used in any stats listing, etc.

Thanks for the reply, Mustang…but what I am saying is that I have two accounts: my main one (firstnamelastname) and my accidental one (firstname_lastname).

I wondered if there is a way in Folding to merge the accidental one into my main one, thereby leaving just my main one. :slight_smile:

Nope, no way of merging unfortunatly.

Ah, well…I’ll just have to suffice with having my name listed twice in the standings… :smiley:

Thanks for the confirmation, Drezha! :tiphat:
