doh! someones still folding on my old accont!

[fireball****aka fireball_87]

whoevers folding on the account www.overclockers.com, i just want to let you know that it is MY account(although the old one) and your units are not going to the teem.

when i switched over to my new accont there was about 1100 units on the old one, now there is 1337.

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't they be going to the team? Are you sure that it isn't any of your clients? You didn't just edit the name in client cfg did you? You have to get a new id number when you change the name or it will be going to old name and just showing you new name on client (I think, but not 100% sure).
When i had typo's etc in my name, I could not get rid of them until I deleted client cfg and started over. Reinstalling the setup will not do it. :confused:

If this is the user that you are referring to, Bordak [H]ardOCP, you are right and it is not going to your team. If you simply changed the email= field in the client.cfg file, there is more to do to complete the change. You must also change the value for hkey_local_machine\software\pandegroup\folding@hom e\1.33\name. The value that you supply should match the value of the email= field in the client.cfg file.

Now you have me wondering. None of my machines have the registery info matching my client cfg name. When I installed the client I always just put db in the name while it is installing and Stanman in the email part on first use.It just says db in registery, so where does this leave me? I just know that if you change name in client cfg and it does not give you new id number I dont think it changes the name on stanford's end. :confused:

If you are running the clients with the -local switch, you are ok. The switch tells the client to bypass the registry entries and to only use the info in the client.cfg file.

If you are in doubt then delete the client.cfg and start fah over. It will create a new one, delete anything it was working on, and get new work automatically and then your name will match up with the id#.

Stanman - Yours has to be right since you're sending in about 18x's what I am which should be just about right given your firepower. I don't think there's any problem there.

<edit>ok so I was slow to the punch. Glad you figured it out. :) </edit>

delete anything it was working on, and get new work automatically and then your name will match up with the id#.

From what I have seen, If you leave the work alone and just delete the client cfg, I think it just sends the work in under the new name and id#, (I wouldn't swear to it though) :confused:


You Built It. You OC'd It. Now Show It Off! Folding@Home

I like that a lot. If I stole it from you would you prosecute?

[Ploaf]

I'll find out in a minute. Got a client sitting here with 1 frame done. Hang on....

Good. You're still there. You are right! It started where it left off. Sorry.

I had to delete the work.dat and the client.cfg before it grabbed a new id# and a new wu.

Prosecute?? Nah. Have at it.
