Computing prefs show obsolete web site - how to fix?

BOINC - Computing preferences shows hyperlink to a currently obsolete website for web prefs.

What is the less intrusive method to change that to the currently used source of Work Units?

The “obsolete website” is from a project I have removed and am no longer active with at this time.

That sounds more like a problem you have to ask the guys at Berkley... confused

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/

If you refer to the link that might show up at the very top of that window, with a kind of "warning icon", I would suggest to try and download the latest version from BOINC and re-install (which should leave all your current settings/projects untouched).

If you mean the message "Using web-based preferences from URL", the easiest method to fix this is in your BOINC Manager to select "Device Profiles" under World Community Grid "Project web pages" and as long as WCG web-site are working you edit any of the profiles. After saving changes, hit "Update" for WCG to download the new preferences.

Install the latest version, remove the project then add it again.
On bottom of the window you must have "https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/"

Or edit "/var/lib/boinc/all_projects_list.xml" with a text editor,
search "World Community Grid" and replace the lines :
"<url>https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/</url>"
"<web_url>https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/</web_url>"
this one is ok : "<image>https://boinc.berkeley.edu/images/wcg.jpg</image>"
then remove and add back the project.

When you remove the project you lost all current WUs for WCG.
