There was some info following the boinc links about how to install the new version of seti@home with your original user identity as long as you could
still recover some info from your old seti directory in .saf (i think) files. I can't remember exactly how it went. But, I managed to do it and
relink most of my prior credits even without the old email address. I think you need to remember what the old email address was, even though it no
longer exists. At any rate - - in my case, I set up a boinc account and the new version currently is running OK, however I have had some problems on
my old computer since then - not related to the boinc internet activity I'm pretty sure. Now, my problem is, uhhh - - I forgot how to log into my
boinc account so I can join this team. I think I am still missing credit for twenty something blocks due to an issue I complained about in my previous
(1st) post in this forum. But, by now you probably have a new user identity. I think you can most likely still relink the vast majority of your prior
credit for your high number of data blocks completed. However, to do so you will need some of the files that were in your old seti@home directory -
I'm fairly sure. OK, Best of Luck from Evkha, AKA BFO=Blinding Flash of the Obvious [Note:I still don't understand how the new credit system
correlates to the classic data block credit count]

Ps. My old computer (with Windows XP OS) I have set@home running on is not real fast. With any luck, I'll get my newer faster Mac to run it too
