	There is an issue with Docking@home preferences overriding preferences set with BOINC Account Manager (BAM!). Basically what is happening is BAM! is giving a set of preferences to a client and they are applied. Then, the next time the client connects to Docking@home those preferences are changed to an older set of preferences stored with Docking@home. Here is a sample from a client: 5/21/2012 7:54:49 AM \| \| Fetching configuration file from http://bam.boincstats.com/get_project_config.php 5/21/2012 7:54:52 AM \| \| Contacting account manager at http://bam.boincstats.com/ 5/21/2012 7:54:54 AM \| \| Account manager: BAM!

	Thanks for reporting the issue, and yes, we are working on upgrading BOINC server. The current status is that we are working on the development platform for D@H project, and we will move on the upgrade D@H once we get everything working smoothly on the development platform. We will keep you posted! Thanks! Boyu There is an issue with Docking@home preferences overriding preferences set with BOINC Account Manager (BAM!).
