Projects are assigned a priority at the server. Refer to the SekeRob dashboard The line Feeder Priority gives the current weight which can, and does, vary from time to time. Currently FAAH has a Normal priority and UGM1 Low so your observation that you are currently receiving tasks 6:1 UGM1:FAAH is strange and I've seen no other posts that feeder priority is currently an issue.


The Report on the 2013 Member Survey was published here in August 2013. Implementation of changes is being staged over a period of time. No timetable nor details of impending changes has been released.

Precisely. I can't describe in the "forum appropriate language" how I agree with you Alan

If you're badge hunting, I would concentrate your efforts on MCM and UGM since they are relatively short-term projects, AIDS is an "ongoing" project that will keep adding new targets to work on until something big happens, or the researchers run out of funding. So, if the situation is as you describe (AIDS taking low priority) then you'll probably be set.

Although the WCG admins don't have a reputation for responding or implementing to user concerns very often, the frequency at which people threaten to leave doesn't put much credibility in our hands. It doesn't help the situation for those of us who have been/are in it for the long haul. I think you will find that the majority of issues with participating in WCG and/or BOINC can be handled by the extremely knowledgeable and capable community members. For the others, we have a few cards to play through channels but need to save them for the really important things, that hamper progress on the research goals.

You can always compensate by selecting/deselecting projects as appropriate, to obtain the total run time you desire. Not the most elegant solution, but it's the best we have given the current system.
