Hi, Im on BOINC 7.6.6 x64. Im trying to join Charity Engine. To do this you must attach to the Account Manager 'charityengine.com'.
However when I go to that add account amanger page, there is only BAM! and GridRepubic listed, if you over-type the URL with charityengine.com it still tries to add you to either BAM! or GridRepublic, whichever is highlighted.

Doesn't Charity Engine use Grid Republic as its AM?

So yes, as according to the registration requirements:
I have a BOINC, GridRepublic, or World Community Grid Account. (Don't know? Click 'No')


As far as I know, you also download a specific BOINC through CE.

CE say you can use the standard BOINC version if you want to run projects outside of their control, which is what Im trying to do.

CE say you must attach to their specific AM at 'chartityengine.com', this worked on an older version of BOINC but it wont on 7.6.6, I may have to downgrade BOINC to get it to work I suppose.

But surely you should be able to connect BOINC to any AM URL you like, not just BAM! and GridRepublic?

If there were more around, yeah. I have forwarded it to the developers, already did so before I answered you.

The developers have reacted with code:
MGR: When a volunteer manually inputs an Account Manager URL, do not overwrite it with what was previously selected.
