Re: unable to connect

Comes to mind, that there are 2 accounts keys: the Project ID and the X-Project ID. The X-Project ID is coupled to the e-mail address. If new, and because WCG is not a BOiNC site per se, but a hybrid, it might be that u r sitting with 2 X-project ID's. It takes a while to proliferate over. Anyway, try both and make sure if u crunch on multiple projects to use a single email address, so things roll up at BOINCstats.

Re: unable to connect

Sorry folks. When I set up the beta test for the fix to Genome Comparison problem I accidently change the permissions for a file so that it couldn't be read. This happened to be a important file that was needed to take what member updated (or created) on the website and put it into the BOINC database.

I have fixed this problem and confirmed that new members are now in the BOINC database. You should be able to connect correctly now.
