Hi there peeps,
Yesterday I got a notice from WCG on the BOINC Manager that read
"World Community GridWCG_ENVIRONMENT_ADDED_WCG: Notice from BOINC
This project is using an old URL. When convenient, remove the project, then add http://WCG_MASTER_URL_WCG/
16/05/2017 2:54:06 PM"
Did everyone else get this (or messages similar in other projects over the last 6 months)? I've had a similar message on Citizen Science Grid and a couple of other projects (these were normally a change from http to https) and I have been able to change the URL. However, as you can see the URL for WCG looks a little strange and when I tried to change the URL I got the message to enter a valid URL. So basically, any ideas?
Currently, the project is attached from http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ on my computer (since this is what BOINC Manager suggests).

Don't worry about it, it was an error by WCG Tech:
I am sorry about this confusion. There was a mistake on my part that sent this confusing message. After correcting my mistake, all that is required is a schedule request and the updated information would come down. Thank you for doing the steps, however they were not needed. Again I am sorry about the confusing messages too the client.

Again, I am sorry about the confusion and disruption to your machines.
NOTE: For everyone else who sees this, please just go to the project tab and press update on the client. There is no need to detatch.
Thanks,

Thanks for your time Kashi,
I had looked for the forum for WCG but somehow failed to find it or got distracted.
