I had quite some problems getting BOINC Mangler to work but after 2.5hrs

Its crunching.

Just a note, the first time I setup my seti account in 2002 was with 
another email address. When I changed jobs/work premises, I updated my 
email address. When going to BOINC yesterday, it automagically setup my 
new account, rolling over stuff from my old account, including my 
original email address, not my current one. I could only login with 
Account Key, not email address etc. You don't half reckon this didn't 
take a hammer to sort out. Newbie's beware! :-)

Glad you got it to work.

I still cannot reconnect with my "team" but have been informed all will 
be well after the dec15...
No Teams were automatically brought over to Boinc. Each Team must
start up and all members that wish to must connect to it. New project
and all. One thing that is different in the Teams under Boinc, if you
crunch for Team xyz and then decide to switch to Team abc, the credits
you earned while under Team xyz will stay with them. They will not
transfer over to Team abc, your individual credits will stay with you
as a user as long as you crunch for Boinc, but credits earned for a
Team will stay with that Team. Too many people with large amounts of
credits started playing around under Classic and were joining Teams
with low numbers of credits, boosting them in the standings for a few
days, and then moving on to a new Team and generally causing havoc
with the numbers.
