Message boards : Getting started : Error message signing in with User Name

( Message 4801 )
Posted 3117 days ago by

After I logged in using my email & password, I get to the page asking for a "User Name", "Country" and "Zip Code". I enter my info and submit.

I constantly get an error message stating there was a problem with the BOINC manager and get asked to create a "User Name", etc. again... and again... and again!

At the top right of the web page it shows me logged in as "Owner".

Hi Jim,

How did you create your account? Did you use the BOINC wizard (new or existing BOINC account)? Or did you create the account using the website form? Also, if you are still getting the error, can you post the exact error message? That will help me in troubleshooting this issue. Thanks,

I would love to get my quad-core Mac Pro crunching some calculations myself =) If I don't hear about this shortly, I'll ping the staff members directly about it.

Right now, I am crunching 1xug workunits. 1xug is not among the listed targets posted on this project's website. I suggest you show on the home page a list of current targets that we are crunching. I also suggest that you provide a detailed description of each target that is being covered so that we can know what we are crunching for. Before I forget, what is 1xug?

Even though I am new, I am very impressed with the amount and readability of information here and the quick responsiveness of the project administrators on this forum. Finally, the website upgrade has inspired me to return! In fact, none of the other life-science projects' websites compares with Docking@home.

I can understand exactly what you're asking. As a non-biologist type, I know it's very easy to get lost in details (I fall into this category as well). I think I'll work with the project scientists to see if we can get some more information online. I think it would be useful to also see which workunits are currently being crunched. I'll post more details as we decide. Thanks

Wow! I love the new website!
But I would love it much more if I could merge my computers... ;-)

Merging and host modification should be fixed. Please let me know if you have any more issues. Thanks!

Sorry about these - the issues should be fixed with friending and the friend emails. Please let me know if you experience any other trouble. Thanks

I experienced a bug when I tried to login.

How to reproduce it :

* Log out if you are logged in
* Go to the message board
* Open a topic
* Try to get logged in
You should now see an error message, even if you are correctly logged in.

Hi Mathieu,

I believe this bug should be fixed. Please let me know if you experience any more issues. Thanks!

Hi.

Might be a silly question but where have the list of targets from the old front page gone to, i can't find them.

pete.

Hey Pete,

These can actually be found on the About > Science page (http://docking.cis.udel.edu/about/science). I just added all the targets that were on the "all targets" page including the Trypsins and HIV Proteases. Please let me know if you have any more trouble.

Guys,
This website is pretty incredible. To be very honest, its absolutely stunning! You guys have done an incredible job, well done to all involved for your hard work!

I have one request and i hope you will give it some serious thought;

BOINC is open-source software and it is BOINC software that has made the Docking@home project possible. None of the BOINC developers, including Dave.A have ever had the time, or the skills to produce incredible website design like you have produced here.

When you have ironed out the bugs and things are running smoothly with this website, take the time to produce a "Generic copy" of the files associated with this website template. Modify the "Generic copy" to remove the "Docking@home" specific images and other stuff. Substitute them with other general generic science images. Then give back to the BOINC community by submitting the code to Dave.A for use as the default project website for new projects.

Your work on the website in excellent, well done to all! I hope you will take the time to share this incredible work.

John.

P.S. The new "Hello! You are logged in as: MyName" is very cool, its on every page, super!. A cool optional feature would be a "Who's online" and says something like "There are 98 guests online".

That was an extremely nice message, John! From the beginning, a few of the Docking@Home staff were pushing this idea of recreating the template for other BOINC projects. As the website stands right now, this is actually more of a proof-of-concept for the new design and structure. There are numerous places where the code needs to be revamped, especially dealing with some of the forms and errors. I would have to say that getting these changes into a code base that can be used as a template will be a few months off (based on my personal schedule). Me and the Docking@Home staff are definitely interested in giving this work back to the community at large.

As for your PS suggestions, I like them. I'll put some thought into the best way to accomplish them and let you if/when it will be implemented. Thank you very much!
