The Pirates@Home server software, including the web pages, has been upgraded to BOINC version 5.7.5

As you can see, many of the "value added" features of the web pages have disappeared. I will work as I can to try to restore these into the main BOINC code, and when I get too frustrated with that we'll revert back to what was working. My hope is that until that happens at least some good stuff will get added to the BOINC code base. What do the crew think should be a priority?

Please report any problems you find, and hopefullly the seas won't be too rough.

Arrr. Some scurvy dog has pocketed ALL the dubloons! Lets have a keel-haulin'!!!

The dubloons are there (check under "Your Account"), they are just not being shown in the forums under your avatar. I'd like to make it easier for each project to customize what is shown in that area, so you'll see them back once I get that coded.

The BOINC FAQ Service.

I miss the possibility of attaching a file.

Instead of a long quote from one's log, a txt file with it is better.

Oh yes, and the preview before posting.

I guess I'd better upgrade finally. Is there a good choice of the newer versions that is stable and well used?

The current recommended version of BOINC is 5.4.11 for Windows and Linux, 5.4.9 for Mac.
I like the development version (5.8.0) It has the standard caution: MAY BE UNSTABLE - USE ONLY FOR TESTING but has been under test for some time and I can't see any reason not to try it out!

I've fixed two more small things. There were too many choices for sorting a thread, because the pull-down menu had both the old version and the new. Now there are too few choices, some will say :-) At the thread level I like to maintain the time order of the posts, like a real log, though one can sort by rating too. It's a nautical/scientist thing.

As some old hands already know, in the forum preferences on can check the item "jump to first new post in thread automatically". Now, once again, if there are no new posts, and if the thread is sorted in time order, then you jump the the most recent post, at the bottom of the thread. A small thing, but I'm glad it's back.

Nowhere for you. You need an avatar.

On the I2U2 site the "avatar" is a real picture of the person, not a cartoon or other image. I'm guessing it's probably a good thing that we are not doing that here.

I don't see how it would matter since every mini-pic would be only visible to the individual user. And you know mine would be some pirate hottie anyway. ;)

The mini-pic is the same avatar shown next to each forum post.
