I have been a member here running SETI@home and more recently other projects since 1999 and today I tried to log on and the web site said there was no account with my email. I created a new account with the same email but does this mean I have lost 25 years of work credit????

Since SETI@Home has not being allowing new account creation for a long time, where did you create your new one?
Remember, accounts are specific to the project, not universal (apart from Science United, but with that you don't get individual credit or control....)
Your SETI@Home credit will still be around, but I assume your "old" S@H account name wasn't driver86....

I meant this web site did not find my account not SETI. I was forced to create a new account on this web site in order to post here. Looking back at the original post I did not make that very clear sorry.

This site is not a project site, it covers generic queries about the software. Having to change you account here will, therefore, not affect the credits generated by the projects.

Have you tried logging into one of the accumulation sites such as BoincStats to see what they have on record?
