Project(MIP) automatically selected in device profiles

Hi everyone,

I just noticed that I had a MIP work unit on one of my machines. I went to look at the device profile and was surprised to see that somehow MIP was selected. I then checked the other 3 device profiles and all of them had MIP selected. I did not have MIP selected in any of my device profiles.

I think it happened a bit before noon GMT today since my machines got MIP units from 11:53-11:59am GMT. Any ideas why / how this could have happened? confused

Thanks

Re: Project(MIP) automatically selected in device profiles

Hi Aurum420,
Thank you for your response. Your name is one of the ones that I recognize from reading the forums (although I had not posted before). I always use Device Manager/Device Profile page where I have 4 profiles defined. I do not think it was the my project page as I had not gone to the settings for several days at least. I had not even gone to worldcommunitygrid.org today until after I noticed the MIP unit on one of the machines. I went ahead and set all the projects that I do not have selected to 1 in case it happens again.

Re: Project(MIP) automatically selected in device profiles

Whatever you change on the My Projects page applies to all existing profiles, which is the intend of the page, to quickly mod all. You can create additional profiles, unofficially, and only at WCG, tolerated as it creates mappings that don't port to other projects, which home/work/school and default do. BOINC is open source, no one is stopped from making the case and write the model, it's volunteer development at that. Nobody is paid to sit down and do it would there be consensus. As yet though not seen any discussion from Berkeley suggesting it made it onto some central wish list.

Hi lavaflow,
With respect, I do understand that changing the My Projects page changes all existing profiles as Aurum420 pointed out. In case I was not clear before - I did not enable MIP anywhere. I did not even look at the settings anytime recently before I started receiving MIP units.
