After an upgrade from 6.2.14 to 6.2.18 on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1, the Boinc Manager is unable to retain its previous window position and returns to its default regardless of where the window was located when the application was last closed. This was not a problem with 6.2.14 or another version that I had used before that one.

If you would like further information feel free to email me.

The correction for ticket #309 also updated some of the forum links so that the text of each link appears with no intervening inactive text.

Apart from being fairly illegible this violates W3C accessibility guidelines:

​Checkpoint 10.5: Until user agents (including assistive technologies) render adjacent links distinctly, include non-link, printable characters (surrounded by spaces) between adjacent links.

If using text links rather than buttons, you can put ' | ' (or whatever) between each link, for example.

Hi all,

I like boinccmd (now that I have discovered it) and for me the utility it has that it can be used in scripts to say shutdown boinc few seconds before it shuts down the computer at some pre-determined time and stuff like that. (use-case scenario)

Having said that, boinccmd is extremely user-unfriendly.

The boinccmd man page talks of many ways in which boinccmd can be used.

(The manpage was written on 11th January 2008)

So I used

$ boinccmd --get_messages

and I got the following output

Missing command-line argument

usage: boinccmd [--host hostname] [--passwd passwd] command

(This is when I'm connected to the project and crunching is happening in the background)

Then went on the mailing list and finally came to realize that the proper sequence is

boinccmd --get_messages x (some number)

Finally I'm able to get the logic and able to use it

boinccmd --get_messages 73

World Community Grid 1 1225564663 [checkpoint_debug] result ma755_00033_4 checkpointed

Whenever I want to poll/see I just use the numbering which gave me the result last time and maybe one number up.

However if I do as in this case.

$ boinccmd --get_messages 74 $

So here there's no error or no statement saying that line has not come or something.

Please fix both the things if its possible. If I'm reading it wrong please correct me on the same.
