I have been crunching poem the last few days on my main rig, and I recently added two more boxes to the effort. However, I noticed on the stats page that the results for the other two boxes are separate from my main rig. Is there a way to join the results from all three under my screen name so that they are counted together? TIA.

When you attach the new computers to the project, use the same user name and password that you used to attach the old one(s).

Ok, I don't really know if I'm doing this right, but when I went to a Boincstats page and looked up my user name, it showed both of my accounts that are folding for POEM. But even though both accounts are plugging away at POEM, under the project list it shows my main account listed as "BOINC combined" and the other one is listed as "POEM@home".

Now, I went into the BOINC client on my main rig and went through the process of attaching it to a project and I entered the URL from the POEM@home web page. So, does this mean that later on the POEM stats server or whatnot will merge both accounts so that my credit will not be divided anymore?

You've somehow got 2 Poem-accounts, indicating you've signed-up twice by using 2 different email-addresses... Unfortunately, in this instance the accounts will never merge, so your best option is to stop using whatever account has less credit to-day. On the computer(s) using the "wrong" account, set "no new work", either wait until all cached Poem-work is finished, or alternatively abort unstarted and possibly started but unfinished, make sure all finished results is uploaded, and hit "Update" to report any finished results and aborted work.

Afterwards, select "Detach", followed by "Attach to Project". Make sure to use the "correct" email-address on re-attach.
