Hello. Is there a special / specific email to send suggestions for the main BOINC website ?

can a new link be added to this site :-

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/links.php

and call it "My personal stats". or something - going to http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/hosts_user.php

Unless I bookmark it (I'm not sure how i found it in the first place), i can never seem to find it (in google).

Suggesting to put project specific links on the BOINC front website isn't going to be helpful, mostly since those links can be found on the project's web site, or in BOINC Manager. It isn't helpful to put those links on the BOINC front page, as there are 55+ projects available out there, and we'd have to link to all of them then. Not going to be done, it's what the project websites are for.

It's the project that dictates which buttons it shows in BOINC Manager, but in the mean time you can do with the "Your Computers" button when you select Seti@Home in BOINC Manager. That goes to the generic list of hosts that anyone can see when they click on your name in the Seti forums, when you do not have your computers hidden.

To get there:

Advanced View:
Open BOINC Manager->Projects tab->Select Seti@Home->click Your computers.

Simple View:
Open BOINC Manager->on the Projects drop-down menu choose Seti@Home->click Project web pages->click Your computers.

To get there from the Seti website:
Navigate to https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/, then click on Your Account, if necessary log in, then click on the View behind Computers on this account.
