I was just wondering, what is the quickest way to switch between the "your account" page for your various projects? Wouldn't it be useful to have links on the my account page to your other project's my account page? This way you could jump back and forth to see your pending credits and tasks lists etc, without going to each project's main website. Just a thought!

(unless there's already a way to quickly do this, and I just havent looked hard enough yet...)

I have not seen this either and I am guessing the reason why is that Boinc is just a program under which many Projects run. Kind of like Windows or Linix or whatever. It is just the underlying program not the actual Project. So to do what you are asking, IMO, would require Boinc itself to provide this link. That may be a bit difficult seeing as how Projects come and go and webpages change as the Project grows or shrinks. If I understand what you asking for is a link to each of the whatever number of Boinc Projects to have access, thru Boinc itself, so you don't have to go to that Projects website, on your own, and be able to check what workunits you have and what status they are currently in. In the Tasks tab of Boinc you can see that for that particular computers workunits.

Mikey,
Thanks for the response; good point. I see why that's not totally feasible. I guess I am looking for some sort of BOINC webpage that integrates our *entire* account with all BOINC projects, not just each individual project, from which we can jump to those individual projects. Of course, the decentralized nature of the BOINC system does not really lend itself to that, if I understand it correctly. And I was also really thinking a web-based thing, since when I am at work during the day, I do not have access to my BOINC client on my home computer, etc.

Go to the Your Account page, scroll down and click on the Team Starfire link. That will show you all of the Boinc Projects you are currently crunching for and a link to each, using the Team Starfire stuff as a basis. Boinc Stats is another good one, the others show different things but I personally prefer those two. If you click on the little foot for the different projects, under Team Starfire, you will see who you are going to pass and who is going to pass you in the near future.

Hi at all. It's possible to see all the WU I have done since I started running malariacontrol?

Depends on when you started, but basically NO. Because projects (not just this one) periodically clear out old results from the database once they have made use of the information and to free up space.

The results you have turned in are not GONE, they are just no longer accessible due to the storage space required. This is a Science Projects and NO data is actually permanently deleted. BUT you and I can not see what has been moved into off-line storage. Part of the way things go when we only contribute to the Project.
