Folding Forum

I did a work unit that took 10 hours, and it was credited to anonymous rather than me. How could I change that? It's bugging me a lot.

I didn't use a passkey at first because this is my first time and I didn't know what it was until I did some googling. I only put in a passkey after the WU submitted.

You cannot change what happened in the past.
Any new WUs downloaded under new username will be credited to new username.
Patience grasshopper

I did the WU under my username.

Stats say otherwise
See what happens with the new WUs.
Keep in mind late passkey addition might mess the stats a bit.
Again, see how the next few WUs are reported and then get back to us

Unfortunately it comes with the forum software

Just to clarify some of the details on getting credit for WUs, the username, passkey and team need to match at the time of upload to what was used to request the WU. Otherwise credit goes to "Anonymous". In addition the WU has to be returned by the same client. So if any of those settings are changed after a WU is downloaded, it will not be credited to you or might not get the bonus if the passkey was entered after it was downloaded.

The official stats when searched by username - https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor - will show all points credited to a username and show what teams those points were credited to. It will not always be the same as what shows up in the client. The client display for Stats uses an API which shows the points credited for the username and passkey entered into the client. The official stats page does not have the option of entering a passkey.
