Argh I feel like a fool now. I was aware how World Community Grid worked, with name rather than email address. However I have the NoScript Add-on installed on my Firefox browser which block cross website scripting and the like. So when I was pressing the Add button to add WCG, instead of loading the page for me to link my account, I was just getting the same Add page reloaded.

I logged into GR on a different browser I never use and I was then able to Add WCG, link my account and proceed. Why didn't I realise this was the problem. Sorry for wasting your time and thanks for the help.

...

I can't be the only one having this problem? Can anyone from the GridRepublic tell me what's going on here?...

I have a Wolrd Community Grid account and it was once on my GriRepublic account, but when I recently logged in to GR it reported an error that it had to remove WCG from my projects list. I cannot remember what the exact error was. So I tried to add WCG and it won't add, the page just reloads but does not add WCG. My name on WCG is 'Stephen Judge' and my name on GR is 'Stephen Judge', the email addresses are the same but the passwords for WCG and GR are different. Is there a reason why I can't add WCG. I haven't found anyone in the WCG forum reporting the same problem....
