Detaching very old inactive devices. Possible? [RESOLVED]

If I go to "My Statistics" it shows I have 8 Device Installations. This is because I never detached devices before retiring a PC. Is it possible to detach those old devices from my statistics profile, so It could show actual number of my active devices, not including inactive ones?

PS: It is not possible for me to detach them from a client side as I do not have those PC-s anymore. Parted out, retired etc...

Thank you!

No, it is because WCG's databases are organized this way. Even if you had detached these devices explicitly it would be the same, so have no regrets.

Simply ignore the "device installations" information, for you or anybody else. It does not mean anything regarding how many devices are actually returning results at a given time.

In fact, thinking of it a little more, the way this info is described is appropriate (it's the number of devices we have installed) and using it for any other interpretation is probably our problem. wink

Cheers. Jean.

raipekass,

If you want to know what your active devices are that have contributed 1 or more results recently, go to the below link which I've preset to 30 days filter, same as what BOINCstats site uses.

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/device/v...ince=30&lastResult=30

The only thing you need to do is count them out, which for most members needs a fraction of a second.

The default is actually 14 days at WCG. Mine shows 1 more than there physically are contributing because 1 is multi-OS-boot sometimes running as Windows, sometimes as Linux.

Hope that helps.
