I have just installed CE.  Before install, several projects are running.  After install, 4 new projects were added by CE: climateprediction.net, Einstein@Home, Charity Engine and malariacontrol.net.  I know that subsequent credits will not be added to my existing account.  However, I note these four projects have different account names: climateprediction.net and Charity Engine have the same CE generated account name "ce3731".  But malariacontrol.net has the same account name as my other account name in malariacontrol.net, and Einstein@home has no account name displayed at all.
 
I just saw that credits earned in malariacontrol.net through CE showed up in CE My Stat page.  Perhaps the others will be as well.  But is it possible to assign the same CE account name "ce3731" for all CE added BOINC projects?  I want, hopefully, the BOINC stats site could capture one single name for all my CE projects indeed of many.

Hello Philip-in-hongkong,

Were you a BOINC user before joining Charity Engine and a participant in malariacontrol.net and Einstein@home?

If you were a former BOINC user and did not delete the BOINC directory after uninstalling the BOINC software (it does not fully clean up after itself to facilitate upgrades) before installing Charity Engine the old accounts will be detected an used instead of the accounts created by Charity Engine.

I believe they all should should your ceXXXX user number, but I will verify this and post back.

I participated both projects before joining CE.  Instead I also participated in climateprediction.net as well.  But they are not running on this PC.  I checked Free-DC. My account name has two cross-project identifiers.  One of which contains the CE added project malariacontrol.net.  I do not think that they get the ceXXXX number.
