I have created a generic account for any new team members to use if they don't want to create there own. They connect, I control it. Simple enough. I disconnected one of my hosts (BAM ID: 433275 Host Name: BoincVF). Then connected it to the new account. It connected to my account and not the new one. I manually connected to one of the project using the new account information and that worked. Not sure how to fix this. If it is something on my end, please let me know. I have even tried to uninstall and re-install boinc to try and fix it. I did delete the app data directory after the uninstall.

I don't care which account the credits end up on.
my account: efreaq
new account: boincvf

Thanks for any help on this.

Try changing the hostname (the name of your PC in the network).
Please do not PM, IM or email me for support (they will go unread/ignored). Use the forum for support.

I did change the name of the host. It is now updated on my account. I have disconnected it from BAM and I'm going to let it sit for a few days to see if the systems catch up with each other.

The host is still adding credits to my account. I even disconnected BAM! I connected to SETI@Home manually using the new account email and password
So now what do I try?

Host ID: 433275 Host Name: BoincVF is moving to its own account, Boincvf.

A different question. I changed the team name on the different project sites, do I need to do anything here to get them to match or will they change on there own.

Valley Forge Military Academy and Collage is changing to Boincvf

Uninstall BOINC and then delete the Project Data folder for BOINC. Uninstalling doesn't remove the BAM! settings. After deleting, reboot and reinstall. See if that fixes it for you.
