(moderation:
Ok, I was into SETI@Home WAY back when and came along with the transition to BOINC. Never had any trouble adding projects but haven't done so in a long time.
Got an M1-based Mac now and saw that E@H was compatible, so I installed Boinc on my new Mac and added E@H - but it wanted an email address for a new account and my BOINC account is just a username. So while I seem to have the right CPID, my BOINC IDs are different between my Mac and the rest of my PCs. I believe this is why nothing seems to be showing up at Boincstats.com since the signature files are generated off the UserID (from what I can tell).
Since I have years of results from SETI and a couple of other projects, I don't exactly want to abandon them. If there was a "merge" process that would work for E@H and bring along Milkyway and Rosetta (and my old SETI numbers), I'd do that.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.

Well THAT answers the question. I saw that page when I was originally creating the account and it must have been a rendering error that made it LOOK like I had said "Yes". Double checking it - sure enough, even though it looked like "Yes", clicking on it showed it change so it was clearly previously set to "No" - changed that. Should be good.
Thank you!
