Aggregated, these resources enable cutting edge research across mathematics, biology, physics, quantum chemistry, climate prediction and more. The BOINC Workshop is comprised of three sessions. The first will showcase projects that using BOINC, highlighting the role of citizen participation in advancing scientific research. The second is a forum for BOINC projects to discuss the technology, their accomplishments in the past year, and technical needs moving forward. The third is an open-ended community discussion. Who should attend? The BOINC Workshop is for anyone interested in harnessing science, technology, and online community to advance knowledge and effect change. (Part of the workshop, “Tech Talks” and “Tutorials” will be focused on people running, or interested in running, BOINC projects.) Where is the Event? How do I participate? Where do I sign up? This year’s workshop will be online, via Zoom. Please register to get the event URL. I’d like to present, who do I contact?

9) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : Website Code (Message 68298) Posted 20 Mar 2019 by Contact Post: The recent server update has resolved this small issue.
10) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : Website Code (Message 67912) Posted 22 Nov 2018 by Contact Post: There is a line in the <head> of the index page that makes the text http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway_cgi/cgi appear at the top of the page when viewing in a browser. <scheduler>http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway_cgi/cgi</scheduler> Other BOINC projects have that commented out and that text doesn't appear when viewing in a browser. <!-- <scheduler>http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway_cgi/cgi</scheduler> --> Would this work here?
11) Message boards : News : Improved Database Stability (Message 67414) Posted 26 Apr 2018 by Contact Post: Thanks for your time and information Jake, and my apologies for hijacking this thread. I agree that it's most fair and more interesting to wait again. As a side note, I just had another founder transfer fail on another project and this time noticed this response after I re-initiated transfer: SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting The current founder has been notified of your request by email and private message. Likely not the problem on this site, and maybe just an insignificant mail send fail, but could something like that block some other call to the code and so not actually initiate founder transfer?
12) Message boards : News : Improved Database Stability (Message 67410) Posted 25 Apr 2018 by Contact Post: Thanks! I no longer see the database error and I agree that the error did not cause the founder transfer fail because the database error was there for a least one other project (Collatz) where the transfer could be completed. May I burden you further and ask if you can explain your fix simply enough for me to forward the info to other projects that may be experiencing the same database error? Also, may I burden you even further to ask you to investigate why the founder transfer may have failed? I can wait another 60 days to try if you need. [Edit]Jake Weiss wrote: I am not sure what method you were using though. Maybe you can give me a little more direction to where exactly you were seeing an issue. When you are a member of a team you have an option on the projects team page to initiate a Team foundership change. [/Edit]
13) Message boards : News : Improved Database Stability (Message 67408) Posted 25 Apr 2018 by Contact Post: I think there may be two seperate issues here. I see the same database error when logged into the team page at Collatz but I was still able to finalize the founder transfer there. I don't see the database error on the few BOINC projects that didn't show the option to finalize the transfer after the required wait period.
14) Message boards : News : Improved Database Stability (Message 67400) Posted 25 Apr 2018 by Contact Post: When I'm logged into this site and visit my team page I get a database error that is not there if I'm logged out. Also, I requested a change of foundership and after the 60 day grace period instead of being presented with the option to finalize the transfer, I could only choose to initiate the transfer again. I'm not sure that the error is related to the change of foundership fail because I've had the fail occur on 3 or 4 other BOINC project sites that didn't display the error - but I'm sure I've seen that error before on other project's team pages.
15) Message boards : Number crunching : Profiles? (Message 67365) Posted 19 Apr 2018 by Contact Post: That's done it! You have sorted through my confusion and Profiles can now be updated!
16) Message boards : Number crunching : Profiles? (Message 67363) Posted 19 Apr 2018 by Contact Post: Thanks for looking into this Jake. I see what you have removed, but it's still not working for me. I think as a final step you need to add <script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script> before the </head> tag. The head code that you have now is <head> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" > <title>Edit your profile</title> <link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/main.css" media="all"> <link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/white.css"> <link rel=alternate type="application/rss+xml" title="MilkyWay@Home RSS 2.0" href="http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/rss_main.php"> </head> But it should be: <head> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" > <title>Edit your profile</title> <link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/main.css" media="all"> <link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/white.css"> <link rel=alternate type="application/rss+xml" title="MilkyWay@Home RSS 2.0" href="http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/rss_main.php"> <script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script> </head>

18) Message boards : Number crunching : Profiles? (Message 67349) Posted 18 Apr 2018 by Contact Post: I missed the most important fact that you must paste this snippet before the closing </head> tag on your page template: <script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script> along with: <div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="#"></div> in the body I copied the code for your create_profile page with those changes (and used my site key) and it looks good: http://boincsynergy.ca/test_create_profile.php Having said all that, the way it is now is one way to stop spammers :)
19) Message boards : Number crunching : Profiles? (Message 67329) Posted 13 Apr 2018 by Contact Post: I was comparing Milkyway's "create_profile.php" page code to another BOINC project's code. That other project's page did not include (in Line 253) <script>var RecaptchaOptions = { theme : 'white' };</script> But did include <div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="#"></div> Which seems to bring up the reCAPTCHA "I'm not a robot" checkbox and will hopefully avoid the Your reCAPTCHA response was not correct. Please try again error that we get now. I also came across this: calls to reCAPTCHA v1 API will not work after March 31, 2018
20) Message boards : Number crunching : Computational Errors (Message 345) Posted 10 Nov 2007 by Contact Post: in making the new search there was a problem with the new volume.txt file not being read by the application correctly. there might be a few more broken wus out there - but this should be fixed for newer ones. Yes. After a bunch of error-out tasks, I see successful completions now.
