1) Message boards : The Lounge : Grumbles, Glory and All Your Off Topic Discussions (Message 112776) Posted 1 day ago by Jord Post: Yeah that requires a specific order. Hide post first. Hide title next. Then delete the post. If I just hide the title, or delete the post without hiding it first, the time isn't adjusted. Which is what happened there. Sorry. 😉

3) Message boards : The Lounge : No commercial advertisements. (Message 112772) Posted 1 day ago by Jord Post: First off, the site I link to doesn't sell all kinds of third party books via Amazon and other places and makes this their prime intent. Second, the site I point to is the actual Skinwalker Ranch site. They do have a shop, yes, but the main idea for the site isn't commercial intent. Their insider program may be by subscription, but then what isn't these days? (And I have the feeling that at the time I posted that link, the Insider program was free) And third, if you feel the moderator (me) did you wrong, you can complain about it to my boss. His email address can be found via https://boinc.berkeley.edu/moderation.php

6) Message boards : Questions and problems : 7.24.1 - error when communicating with Account Manager (Message 112749) Posted 6 days ago by Jord Post: If when returning to a previous version the problem insists, that AM is probably down at this moment. I must say, I never heard of that AM.

8) Message boards : Questions and problems : GPU computing suspended Computer still downloads GPU tasks (Message 112727) Posted 9 days ago by Jord Post: Maybe if your cache was full of GPU tasks, but not when there's still tasks missing according to your work request. A suspended GPU only tells BOINC that there is a reasonable chance it will get resumed at a later time, and at that time, BOINC will want to have enough work in cache for it. Only by telling BOINC that you do not want to use the GPU, do you tell it not to download work for it.
9) Message boards : Questions and problems : gstate.init() fails error code 192 (Message 112726) Posted 9 days ago by Jord Post: client_state.xml is replaced by a read-only version EXIT_STATEFILE_WRITE 192 - The client will exit if it cannot write to the client_state.xml file. Make sure you have permission to write to the BOINC Data directory.

12) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can't REMOVE Project (Message 112702) Posted 12 days ago by Jord Post: When a project is greyed out, you have added it via an account manager, like Science United or BAM! You'll have to go to the website of the used account manager and remove the project via there, then sync that to BOINC.
13) Message boards : BOINC Manager : BOINC Manager won't display from Taskbar (Message 112700) Posted 12 days ago by Jord Post: Are you sure you picked the BOINC Manager app from the programs listed in the BOINC directory? There are several there, all with the same icon. boinc.exe is the client (no GUI). boinccmd.exe is the command line/terminal command app (no GUI). boincmgr.exe is the BOINC Manager app, the only one with a GUI. However, if BOINC Manager is already running, as in available in the System Tray, you cannot start it again by clicking the BOINC icon in the Taskbar. You then have to open BOINC using the icon in the System Tray.

19) Message boards : The Lounge : The Seti is Slumbering Cafe (Message 112581) Posted 24 Aug 2023 by Jord Post: https://newatlas.com/space/neutron-images-find-zinc-culprit-arecibo-radio-telescope-collapse/ Almost three years after the event, neutron scans by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory have uncovered the cause of the platform collapse that resulted in the destruction of the 1,000-ft (300-m) Arecibo Observatory radio telescope. As part of this effort, Adrian Brügger, director of Columbia University’s Robert A. W. Carleton Strength of Materials Laboratory, took whole sections of the failed cable sockets, complete with cables and socket liners, and subjected them to neutron scans at Oak Ridge's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). In the case of Arecibo, the scans allowed Brügger to make cross section images of the cable sockets and determine which cables slipped and by how much, even if they were still buried inside the zinc lining. What became apparent was that as cables were subject to the stress of supporting the platform they began to fray. This, in turn, caused the zinc to flow under the tension. Eventually, the zinc flowed so much that the sockets failed and the cables were pulled out entirely. Exactly how much of this slippage occurred before or during the event could not be determined. What is known is that two cables failed before the collapse, with a third failure causing the platform to fall.
20) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can the "slots" folder in the Data directory be located on a seperate drive? (Message 112577) Posted 23 Aug 2023 by Jord Post: Can anyone tell me whether there is a way to put the "slots" folder only onto a different drive (e.g. Ramdisk)? No. The slots directory is part of the data directory, either move all of it, or nothing. The client looks for the slots directory inside the data directory, and if there's none yet, it makes one there. There's no way to instruct the client to put the slots directory outside the data directory in another place, without rewriting the client.
