A new version of the system should be online in October/November 2013. All BOINC processes related to orbit@home are stopped at this time. With the upgrade, a fresh BOINC system will be installed, and all users will have to re-register in order to continue to contribute to the orbit@home project. ID: 51323 ·

They've had that message up for at least a couple of months now. But here we are 2/3 through November and nothing seems to be happening. ::frustration:: signature ID: 51413 ·

Last modified: 24 Jan 2014, 14:16:32 UTC My previous message was supposed to have this line added: A new version of the system should be online in early 2014. Rip Van Winkle is my younger brother by the way...just kidding. ID: 52124 ·

This latest shutdown and re-organization means I will have to sign up yet again. That will be the third time I'll be required to join again. I wish it wasn't necessary and liked the single and double digit user id numbers I had previous times I joined. Even so, I am looking forward to this project finally becoming an active project and plan to run it as soon as I see it has re-launched. ID: 53296 ·
