1) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Adding new computer to existing team (Message 51443)

Thanks Les! The button was labelled "Yes, existing user" (not "No, existing user") and all it wanted was email and password (not user name). And now the mac is showing up on my account.

The only hitch is that it is only running 1 task now. I checked my local preferences, and made sure it said 0% of the processors, but there's just one task running. I'd like to run more (although running just one has turned the fan off, which is not a bad thing).

I don't recall. Let's assume I did the dumbest possible response. All I want to do is to start crediting my macbook for the skepticalscience team. I'd prefer not to lose all the computation already done, but I expect to do months of calculation, so if I have to lose a few hours, that's not a big deal. I just want to start crediting my use to skepticalscience. I don't understand why this is so complicated. There are other worthy projects. If it's easier to contribute my resources to them, that's ok, but I really like doing something about climate change.

When I select Climateprediction.net from the "Choose a project" page, and hit "Next", I get a warning from the BOINC manager that "You already added this project. Please select a different project." I cannot get past that message to have it communicate, or to specify "No, existing user".

Sorry if I'm being dense. Choose "existing user" where? That is, what is the URL for "adding extra computers"?

I just started running CPDN on my macbook. I'd like to join the skepticalscience team, ideally adding the macbook to the account already there from my linux PC. But if that cannot be done, I'd at least like to join the team. I was never offered the option when I downloaded the BOINC manager (more precisely, reloaded it, since I now run Yosemite).
