Link broken in FAQ

I need to stop fetching new tasks and finish the ones in the queue. I went to the FAQ page here: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=24269

There is a tinyurl link that is broken; so, the instructions do not show.

Not broken, this forum software just not showing images to photbucket when redirecting a tinyurl, or bit.ly for that matter. Copy the imagelnk of the link icon and paste to the browser addresbar and it works fine.

Hello LambdaFox,
I need to stop fetching new tasks and finish the ones in the queue.
In BOINC Manager, select Projects - WCG - No New Tasks.

Re: Link broken in FAQ

I do not believe this is an issue with the new forum software but with how photobucket is taking links to images now. I have tried using the tinyurl from Sekerob's post and putting it on a page that was simple html, meaning not using the forum software at all. It produced the same behavior.

Photobucket now wants things that are linked to them to be viewed on their site. This is probably due to ad revenue they get when you view the image from their site. Here is a direct link to the image in question.



Thanks,
