donor number changed

[chabgood]

My donor number used to be 1913301, but it changed to 263323. any idea why?

[chabgood]

Plus none of my work units are showing up.

Do you mean your MachineID? or maybe CPUid? (See https://apps.foldingathome.org/cpu)

When FAHClient is installed, a CPUid is assigned. FAH servers don't know if an installation is new or a re-install, so when you do a re-install, you'll get a new CPUid. Since the old CPUid will no longer be returning WUs, the recent WU's lists only report WUs returned within a time-based window and the old CPUid is effectively retired.

If you mean your Donor ID on one of the 3rd-party stats sites, that number is not managed by FAH. You'll have to discuss that with them.

I have been folding for quite a while all of a sudden the donor number changed. I have 3 - 1070's and 1 - 1080. For the Gui name I was used, MrMoo. When you go to https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/1913301
is days not found, but it was working for a ling time.

I also changed my name to 263323 in the gui, and still no WU's are showing up.

There was a complaint about the text that reads "Overall rank (if points are combined) nnnn out of kkkk"" and an older version that said "Rank mmmm out of kkkk" treating each donor/team entry as unique. Both could not be right because the number kkkk changes when entries are combined. That forced a change in how ranks are determined which also probably changed your donor number.

If you start from https://stats.foldingathome.org/donors by entering your name, do you get to the right place?

[chabgood]

yes, same place. WU are are still not showing up. last time was yesterday, I am still folding, Date of last work unit 2018-10-19 09:01:43
Also the number of clients were 0 now they show up, something must be going on on the backend.

I am not sure what you are saying in the first paragraph.

The stats are not updating, see this thread : viewtopic.php?f=18&t=30989

[bruce]

The stats are now being published again. If you're still having troubles, give me the Project/Run/Clone/Gen numbers of a couple of missing WUs.

[chabgood]

I see, but that still does not explain why my donor number changed. very strange.

But it's not your donor number. You have a donor name.

The database owns the IDs / numbers and can do what it likes with them!

[chabgood]

Did you see the url above, it is a number not a name.
NOW:
https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/263323

used to be:
https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/1913301

[rwh202]

Yes, those URLs use ID. But how did you get them? What current link takes you to the wrong one?

Asking by your name gives the correct id:
https://stats.foldingathome.org/api/donor/mrmoo

You can't guarantee that a page that references an internal database id to always serve the same information. You need to access by your key which in this instance is your username.

I have ALWAYS used, https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/1913301.

When that said NOT FOUND I went to the Team at, https://stats.foldingathome.org/team/111065, looked up mrmoo, then clicked on that, then the id was different. https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/263323

The url you gave me gives me the updated id as i said:

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a static page to bookmark to because as you've found out, id can change. It might appear static over a period of a few months or even years, but there's nothing stopping it changing every hour.
I didn't think that page went live until June this year so it's been static for you for around 4 months this time.
