I started with Seti@home in July 2000 - yes, 6 years ago, and it has been a few years since I was active.
I started with ClimatePrediction as a co-worker showed it to me, and it looked a lot cooler than Seti, so I thought I'd sign up.

Problem 1: Signing up for Climate would not take my Seti email address to login/begin.

Seeing that Boinc supports multiple projects - I thought I would continue with Seti.

Problem 2: Took a good day and finally got a recover password email and I was back in Seti - and it remembered me - yea!

Problem 3: Wanted to post on the Boinc Message boards here -
Well - this is why I write this post:
This site would not recognize my email / password for Seti or Climate sign-ins. I had to register fresh - and although I have actually been a member since 2000 - it says I am a member since today...

Is there a way - or is Boinc suppose to use one login and password set for all projects, and the message board? - so I can be the same ID on all?

Thanks,
Todd

What you're asking for, is the equivilent of expecting replacement parts for several different brands of car to fit each others cars.
Or the goverments of different countries to be allowed to govern each others countries.

All projects, as well as this BOINC forum, are separate entities. You need to make yourself known to each one individually.
