I have been running BAM and Boinc for years on several different systems.
I got a new laptop, macbook, the other day. And installed Boinc. I then added BAM as a project.

Under the boinc logs , I can see stating "Fetching configuration file from https://bam.boincstats.com/get_project_config.php"

And it just sits there forever. My projects never get imported. Has anyone seen this issue?

You may have forgotten, but BAM is not a project - it's an Account Manager.

The menu wording (reading from Windows) is "Use account manager..." - not 'Add'.

Hmm, noticed that was wrong in the wiki, changed! :)

But yes, the account manager is added separately, not through the add project wizard, but through the use account manager wizard:

It may have been a very old Wiki page - that wording change was made in 878ec2935307d1ddf31deda784baa51e1fd4f423

No, I had rewritten those pages just prior to the BOINC 7.6 public release. The devs had read them. No one complained. ;-)

Ah nevermind. Its been so long since I have had to install this.
I had to click on the "Advanced View" . Then you can see the "Add Account Manager" option.


Thanks all for your help!
