The project that is causing problems appears to be Einstein.
My problem is
• Detailed user statistics for "Brett Collins" are listed under BOINC with three different identifiers. This has become a cumulative problem over a number of years.
• Recently the Einstein@Home results inexplicably dissociated from my full list of BOINC projects. This now appears with a separate Cross Project Identifier.
• The British flag designation was due to a mistyped entry, when registering a new PC some years back, resulting in mis-identified credits languishing in limbo.
• Allprojectstats.com is only reporting the other projects, not the Einstein@Home results. This means 582,000+ credits from Einstein@Home are not visible to Allprojectstats.com.
• If the three Cross Project Identifiers were combined on BOINC, my total credits should appear on Allprojectstats.com together. (???)
• I have contacted Allprojectstats.com without any response after 5 days. However, in the meanwhile it occurred to me the problem of missing work credits could be solved by combining the three Identifiers at the BOINC end.
• Can I combine these three ID’s? Can you help?

The detail of my three BOINC ID’s are

Nobody else can combine the statistics for you, but you can combine them for yourself.

First, the display name 'Brett Collins' is ignored. What matters is your email address. You have to use the same email address at each project for the CPIDs to line up. If you used a different email address at any project in the past, you can change it to your current preferred email, using your account page at that project - that won't lose any of your old statistics, or need any changes in your BOINC installations.

Second, you have to have at least one computer which does work for multiple projects. It can be one computer on all projects, or multiple computers each of which work on different pairs of projects. Just so long as there's no project isolated with a computer that doesn't link anywhere else.

If you do that, the CPIDs should converge over the next few days, but you'll have to be contacting the project servers over that time - that might be difficult with some of the projects you've listed, which have repeated downtime. If any project server is inactive, you won't be able to line up that project's CPID until it comes back online.

I'll add that you can have them in "No New Work" if they are projects that you no longer wish to compute for. You don't need to complete/return any work, just make connections to the servers to update your host and CPID info.
