I have had the issue for years but am just getting round to asking for help with it. Some of the projects I've connected with do not get any tasks but when I check the websites for the projects I don't see them as down and can see that others are still working, I think. (not sure if the above will show or not as it does not in the preview). Denis@Home, Milkyway@Home have no tasks at all, Enigma and Rosetta have had some tasks but then stopped. I've currently got about 20 tasks loaded for Moo !Wrapper, some yoyo and Seti and these are processing so the app and accounts are working. As I said I've had this issue for a while. I previously used Bam stats account manager and was using a different email address but still had this issue so closed the BAM account and changed the name and email address on each of the projects. I've 'reset' the preferences on each of the projects accounts where allowed. Not sure what else to do. Boring stuff Boinc manager 7.14.2 (x64) Windows 10 Home 8GB 64bit operating system, but this is current, as I have changed machines and had the issue on the previous one as well so am thinking it's account related on the projects. I'm using the Local preferences on Boinc, so what is set in the individual project's online preferences should not matter!? If anyone can suggest a way to look into this with me then I'd appreciate it, it would just help me help the projects more. Thanks in advance. Dean ID: 93492 ·

What you've posted so far gives no idea of the individual transactions with each project server - what is requested, and what reply is received. ID: 93497 ·

There has been no contact with project administration for same time frame. Enigma has not had any work in many months now and like above, no contact with project administration for about1 year. When you do not get work from a project it is a good idea to check that project forums to see if others are not receiving work. Also a good idea to check the project server status page to see if there's work being generated and available. ID: 93499 ·

Some sites require https and other require http for images and urls Not sure why but if the preview does not work with https then try http and vice-versa ID: 93633 ·
