2) Message boards : Questions and problems : CANCEL as default on options change (Message 86801) Posted 1 Jul 2018 by James Lee Post: Richard, Thanks for your quick reply. Actually, it is a heat/AC problem, and as the weather/temp changes throughout the day/night, I have to keep changing percentage of CPUs used. Yes, I could set everything to run at 25 percent and never have a problem, but these are high performance machines that I built just to run BOINC (my hobby - since I started in computing March 12, 1973 on an IBM mainframe AND I ran QC in the mid '80s for ICC, the company that brought out the merger software for mainframe-to micro or micro-to mainframe - depending on point of view) so, not much gets by me. It is just a pain, when having to control everything through TeamVeiwer, and a slow network, so EVERY keystroke or move of the mouse is cumbersome. So, my main problem I have - running 15 machines in 8' by 15' is heat.. Heat is a MAJOR problem, with AC that cannot keep up (especially these last two weeks of temps close to 100) and I try to squeeze as much out of each machine so as to give more to the projects I run (BTW, Sounds like you run Asteroids as well.. lol). The limited space is not just a heat problem, but a necessity of not having keyboards, mice, or monitors on every machine - unless I took out my TV, bed, door, etc.. (and my puppy?) If all else fails, I can just go back to an earlier BOINC release without these annoying "improvements". :) Thanks again, James
3) Message boards : Questions and problems : Screensaver (Message 86772) Posted 30 Jun 2018 by James Lee Post: I'm running 15 machines and I have ALWAYS told the install "NO" for screen saver. The BOINC screensaver still comes up on one of the machines - even though all the machines are identical Win7 configurations. Since I sign on via TeamViewer to 14 of the machines, it is not too annoying, but still, an oddity. This happened only after this latest release 7.10.2(64) - and it also appears that you had some "rocket scientist" put in "cancel" instead of "save" as the default on options changes... Really?... sheesh... Just hitting "return" after a change should be the norm - with an automatic save... Instead of having to "mouse" down to press the save button. Someone forget their B12 pill?

When you are running many (15, here) machines and have to go into TeamViewer many times a day to adjust options, it is a REAL pain to have to go down to the save button, instead of just hitting return. Can you fix this problem? Soon?
5) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC statistics screen display problem (Message 65394) Posted 12 Nov 2015 by James Lee Post: That worked great! Thank you. First time in a long time I was able to see the correct stats on that machine.
6) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC statistics screen display problem (Message 65388) Posted 12 Nov 2015 by James Lee Post: This is an odd happen-stance. I have a number of computers running BOINC, but one has a problem. On three separate occasions during power outages, it came back up twice with a startup date of 1/06/2021 (January 6, 2021) and once as 1/2/2021 (February 2, 2021). This messes up the stats page as I just have 2 lines that go out to those dates, and, of course, a nearly vertical line for all the current data. Is there a way to fix this problem on the statistics page?
7) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages (Message 65324) Posted 9 Nov 2015 by James Lee Post: Yes.. my first day on adding this project, too. All my computers must have overwhelmed it. lol.. I hope Colattz works out.
