I have noticed that on my non-Predictor total statistics that my name has a forward slash appended to it while for the Predictor total, it does not - so it looks like:

H. Richard Utzig /
H. Richard Utzig

At first, I thought it was an anomaly but it seems permanent. I've looked through the threads but in my gander I saw no reference to the slash.

May I ask what the forward slash implies?

Regards,

It has to do with merging usernames across projects. When a username is not the same across projects, I (the script) looks at the simularities from the names. If these are above 60%, the shortest name is removed.

Normally, when the names of a user are different across projects, you get something like:
George@SETI / George@CPDN

I think somewhere during this process, the / is inserted into the name by mistake. I'll investigate this tonight (that is: when it is tonight in Holland).
