However I do not want to compute this. I have tried to suspend it, and also to block new tasks, but it doesn't work. I am still getting more tasks from World Community Grid. Also it is not possible to remove a whole project. I think these are serious issues. I am using BOINC 8.2.4 (0798cc3f0f). Also reporting a problem from Android doesn't work. I get "Page not found".

Hi Yann, I am a returning volunteer and I have noticed the changes you mentioned. It seems that the Science United Coordinator has recently become centralized, and the volunteer preferences are for the field of science and location. It is possible to set preferences to "never" contribute computational time to a specific field or a specific location ( country or region ). We can still manually add projects, and I believe the manually added projects can receive higher priority. ID: 1891 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
