    Unable to add WCG project to machines

    I'm unable to add WCG to either machine.
    Anybody know about this ?
    There has been no change in account name, e-mail or password.
    The same username and password logs into their webpage as normal.


    This message appears when attempting to add the project to boinc:

    Invalid ID
    Missing or bad parameter: email_addr


    Anyone now why ?

    You use your userid instead of your email address, I believe. They are different.

    No problem here, running Ebola and Clean Energy Project in tandem.

    What zombie said. I just attached a machine, and it required my user ID "Maxwell [MM]" (without the quotes) instead of the email address I use to attach to every other project.

    I had trouble with this about two weeks ago while trying to add a new machine. If the user id doesn't work, there is a script someone wrote on the WCG message boards that should solve it for you. I can find the link if needed.

    Hah! While that's not my expressed goal, I'm never one to turn down free credits...

    User ID doesn't work either like it used to, , but it does work to login on their webpage.
    How do you do the script thing ?

    You can probably attach with your account key if you want to go that route. Might be easier than running the script.
