I\'ve been registered with CPDN since 21st July 2005 but following the failure of my latest WU I now find I am running a BBC CCE WU even though I am NOT registered with it. How is this possible.

The new models are a combined experiment 2 and 3. (From the science pages.)
In other words, the Coupled Ocean, both hindcast and forecast.

These models were released on Valentine\'s day on the BBC, complete with BBC logo\'s, etc. Once the problems this generated had died down a bit, the same model\'s were released here, but still including the BBC logo\'s, both to get them started quickly and so as to avaoid unexpected problems caused by re-working files to remove said logo\'s.

You can tell which is which from the label:
hadcm3ln for BBC
hadcm3lbm for cpdn

It is a CPDN WU but how was I suppose to know this - there is NOTHING on the news pages, I received no email to tell me not to worry and of course the only way to tell the difference is the one letter difference.

It\'s mentioned very briefly here:

And in much greater depth on the main message boards, but it\'s fair enough to say that it\'s not particularly obvious.
