How to remove old URL to replace it with the new one.

I keep getting a notice from Boinc that the URL I am using is an old URL and to remove it and add https://master.worldcommunitygrid.org/, but the option to remove the project is grayed out and not responsive. How do I remove the old URL from before you moved to Kembril.so I can add the new one? You can send a personal message or email me if you wish. Thanks in advance.

Re: How to remove old URL to replace it with the new one.

Just ignore this notice for now; it's a known issue. See the FAQ thread for more details: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg...ead,44146_offset,0#673688

Re: How to remove old URL to replace it with the new one.

As Kirel2 says, just ignore the error message as it is spurious but if, in future, you find the option greyed out like that it indicates that you joined the project through an account manager such as BAM or Science United and can only change it by going back to that account manager (even then I don’t believe that SU will allow you to change your connection to any of the projects).

Re: How to remove old URL to replace it with the new one.

This message is EXTREMELY confusing, especially since my last posted result was in February and I run this software by default at all times. No tasks run at all.

Re: How to remove old URL to replace it with the new one.

Ditto.
I changed the URL as instructed in the Notices section to master.worldcommunitygrid.org and them back again to worldcommunitygrid.org when instructed but didn't get any new tasks.

I've now uninstalled BOINC , deleted all data and reinstalled and still don't have any tasks! After almost 20 years of using WCG/BOINC I haven't managed to make any contribution since February. :(

WCG is still in the testing phase. Getting work units is hit or miss. The release of test batches is sporadic. If and when they release any units in volume, you should be fine.

Yes seriously - why are you sad, crying and confused?

Because of the sheer volume of posts advising people that the notices were spurious and that the system was taken down mid Feb during a migration to a new home and is currently in test only mode with very few WUs being sent out?

Because for pretty much a month now, people keep posting the same **** over and over again, not paying attention to previous posts..

Yes, that is frustrating, as it increased the noise to signal ratio on the messages... :(
