Jaaku,

You post is confusing, are you referring to the icons on the left hand side of the index of threads?

Hi, i am the copier. mine is a 24hr clock the coloured squares in the centre show the spectrum of it (top is midnight, bottom is noon). you can read more about it at www.proteinos.com.

the person with the mushroom was the one that tipped me to the fact that this could be done.... guess i just hadn't been thinking.

I see the clock in the screen shot but other than the screenshot, I see nothing on the thread.

So..... I'm confused.

SOMEONE saw a bug in BOINC and exploited it :)

The server code has since been altered to not allow HTML tags in the username field and the offending usernames have been... 'sanitized' :)
