I've just discovered these.You've discovered what? That you were user of the day at projects? Or something else? I've got problems with jobs and money and stuff.I don't see what that has got to do with anything. You've been hackedWho is the "you" in this? Why do you think that? and I've been hacked and I'm in a lot of trouble can you help?Also why do you think you've been hacked? Your one post brings up a lot of questions. You're not very clear. So why not start from the beginning and explain? |

UoTD is an honor...not a hack. Confused here too. |

The OP was reassured by Ray Murray in this thread at LHC Classic. Panic over. http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/forum_thread.php?id=3899 |

I'm assuming the UotD is picked at random? Funny, I see some people have been UotD multiple times, while I've only been picked once on any project in 10-11 years of BOINC crunching; 3 May 2007 at BURP. http://uotd.org/show_participant.py?cpid=4f626234ee804a9c6f21123744dadc42 Seems like this individual was quite easily set into a panic, without having much information to back up their theory.

I'm assuming the UotD is picked at random? Yes, but only those accounts that have a profile. You won't be chosen as user of the day on a BOINC project unless you have a profile. Once selected, you won't be selected again unless you make some type of change to your profile. Then it needs a project admin who's actively allowing user of the day candidates on the server. Not every admin goes into the Project Administration every week to laboriously sit through checking all the profiles and adding those 'allowed' to the list. |

I'm assuming the UotD is picked at random? That does not describe the UOTD at Seti Beta! ![]() |

I'm assuming the UotD is picked at random? That must be a new feature, as I still get regular UOTDs at various projects that I've never changed my profile on. Also, newly created profiles used to get picked automatically. But deleting a profile and creating a new one doesn't seem to trigger it. I have noticed that if I start crunching a project I haven't worked for for years that I get a UOTD. Perhaps I just don't notice unless I'm actively involved. I also get UOTD email notifications from apparently dead projects where there is some daemon still ferreting away in the background completely by accident :) |

That must be a new feature, as I still get regular UOTDs at various projects that I've never changed my profile on. It's how it's supposed to work, but since there are about as many variations of the Boinc back end out in the wild as there are projects, it doesn't work like this everywhere. Useful when one can tweak every part of the back end, or only update incrementally. Us Windows users wished we could do that... |
