Title: Problem associating BOINC@AUSTRALIA WITH SOME PROJECTS in BOINC Manager
Post by: craisin on May 20, 2020, 03:54:23 PM
I am wondering why (in my BOINC program managed by Science United) I cannot get "BOINC@AUSTRALIA" to show as my team against
both "NumberFields@Home" and "Citizen Science Grid" when (on the web pages of both those projects) "BOINC@AUSTRALIA" is stored in
those accounts as being linked to the team.
No other projects have this problem. Does anyone have any clue as to reason for this and how I go about fixing it?

I know this isn't really an answer but what version of BOINC Manager are you running? There is always updates happening.

Greetings craisin +1 for your first post and welcome to the forums.

I must apologise, but unfortunately I am unable to help out, as I do not run Science United, hopefully someone else in the board with vast array of knowledge can help though.

Regards

Nope sorry. Your the first person I've heard of using United Science.  It's an account manager I believe. Like Gridcoin?
United Science is the team that you're on.

I think that's correct...lets see what the others say.

Sorry, I do not know anyone who signed up for it. Personally, I would never let someone else pick how I use my machines. You might ask the question on the BOINC forum at Berkeley.

If you cant find your answer, I'd perhaps reinstall BOINC but not the United Science version...just the standard version. You should then be able to join BOINC@AUSTRALIA.
There could be a simpler way (like changing teams) but I'm not sure. I don't think anyone here uses United Science.

I would dis-associate Science United as your Account Manager but that is a personal view.  I tried Science United for a very short time and found it to be a bit buggy and did not operate the way I wanted to in that it picked my projects based on their type.  I like to be in control of what projects I run.

I go to "Tools" then "Use Account Manager" and there should be an option to leave or ununstall Science United.   Once you have done that update BOINC to the latest version from Berkeley https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php)
