Please find a way for us so that we can STOP using the website to update the projects/account/graphs preferences (particularly the graph).

It should just take you 2 days to upgrade the Boinc client to handle setting preferences locally through it and NO MORE FROM THE WEB (pleaaaase)

U know what I did ? I took the values of each combobox on the page and I set the values manually in the XML file to update my graph settings and test it.
But that sucks....

please do something about it!
Thank you greatly !

I have two issues withthe web interface. I there is no direct link between the different PC's I am configuring. Also the web interface does not like teh back button, but one you are editing an option, for example the seti preference I need to click teh back to home page button and re-enter teh account info again to move sections. If I just hit back when I go back to the site changes are lost. A local setting option makes a lot of sence for a lot of these option. Even just adding an easy way to move a PC between profiles (ie home or work)would solve a lot of issues posted on the boards (like Mulit-single CPU usage) .

1) In your browser, enable cookies for the web site. At that point, you should not have to re-enter your logon info.

2) At the bottom of the web page for each of your computers, there is a dropdown to set the location of the computer.
