I noticed for the first time, that on the message board page, near the top is a comment "If you have a question or problem, please use the Questions & Answers section of the message boards." with a link to the old empty Q&A forum.
Since you moved the Q&A many years ago to be part of the regular message board, this comment is now not needed.
I guess it is a default boinc code message.
I would suggest however to remove it as it may confuse new participants, when they click the link and get an empty Q&A. You might have to make a note and remove it every time you upgrade (?)

While you are changing the website how about removing the link under your account in the stats links section to Team Starfire's website as it closed almost a year ago now!

That probally is a global boinc feature, and should be removed by the developers, so it gets revomed on all boinc projects when they next upgrade server code.

I visited a random selection of projects, a few don't have it but even some relatively new projects still have that now dead link.

It needs to be reported I guess on the boinc message board, but at the moment I can't login, maybe when I get home from work I can find my password.
