WCG doesn't seem to be set up like other BOINC projects, where it is obvious how to change your settings, like resource share. I want to change my WCG resource share, but when I go to "My Grid" or "My Profile" I find no way to set or even view this setting. I have set this before. Where is it hiding? It shouldn't be so hard to find.

It's under:
My Grid --> Device Manager --> Device Profiles --> click the profile name (default?) --> at the very bottom, "Cross Project Settings" --> Project Weight  |

I click on "My Grid", and I get the message:
The page you requested is currently unavailable because the statistics are being updated. The statistics update will finish in about 56:47 minutes. I don't want to look at statistics, so why do I need to wait for a stats update? |

Please see the following FAQ regarding statistics updates:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=2024 Regrettably, due to the many deep interrelations of various database components between the old UD agent front end and the later added and enhanced BOINC parts, these lock outs have remained unavoidable even after extensive attempts. Hopefully this will change after the UD agent is phased out. |

It's under: My Grid --> Device Manager --> Device Profiles --> click the profile name (default?) --> at the very bottom, "Cross Project Settings" --> Project Weight I will also add that other project sites do not bury the user preferences so deeply. For example, the links for PrimeGrid are: Your Account --> PrimeGrid preferences --> Edit PrimeGrid preferences Rosetta and Cosmology@home are very similar. |

We know. There's a sort of "standard BOINC interface" that is in use by most of the other projects. THIS one is different because the BOINC equivalencies were rolled in backwards after the fact of still running the UD interface (non-BOINC) and making BOINC still work.
----------------------------------------The result is the same. Getting to it is half of the fun.
