I removed the last project I had enabled on a machine class, and tried to save it with no projects, just the "Opt me into new projects" set. This fails, "You must have a project selected".

That's correct, you have to have an existing project selected. Try one of the 3 intermittent that are not likely to have work unless there's an update required to add base for the upcoming phase 2s
----------------------------------------Of, course you could also simply hit the Fetch no Work button for WCG in the client, but I surmise you want new project work when they launch.

If I set "No new work", I need to visit the machines to set it, and then again to remove it. It would also preclude my receiving Beta work units, which I do have enabled.

There was intentional omission in what I wrote as I think you brought up the beta angle before :D. Beta is not a project and to me the reward/incentive to active crunchers (totally private opinion)... there's already huge competition to grab the little there are once in a blue moon (which there is one end of this month, the blue moon of course) ;>)

I agree the Beta units are rare, indeed, despite having the option enabled, I have never received one. What I was trying to do was set it such that when new projects came they would start without me needing to do anything. In that respect, I am attatched to a project(s), but it is a fine line.
If I enable an intermittant, I risk depriving others that really need them from obtaining them. It would seem it is best that I simply detatch from WCG and let my other projects take up the resulting capacity. Presumably I will get an e-mail when the new part 2 projects come along. |

As alternate alert, you could subscribe to the BETA announcement forum RSS feed. If you put that forum onto your watch list in the forum profile it will give you pre-warning that a new project is coming.
----------------------------------------Don't know how you manage your devices... AMS maybe. Through there I think you also can set Work Fetching to local and Remote devices.
