The old web site worked... The new web site does not. Please bring back the old web site... My computer keeps changing to Japanese again and again and again no matter how many times I set the seti web site to display in english. The forums are hard to search. The design is downright horrible, and it only works in some of my web browsers. My units are only partially reported. And its just a plain nightmare.

I'm having numerous problems on IE 6.0 (newest version Japanese) on Win 2000 SP4 and Netscape 4.8 English on the same machine.

Please please please bring back the old web site. It was great and always worked! That way you don't have to fix this new web site. Black looks a lot better than white and the old logo looked good. The new one looks like garbage.

The new color scheme looks horrible as well.

Max, behave please ;-)=

Now to your remarks, Paul:

How comes that you wonder at this, Paul?

The forums are hard to search. The design is downright horrible,

There you're right...

My units are only partially reported.

In Seti BOINC they have copied a snapshot of March 2005 of the Seti classic stats. They will do another snapshot at closedown of Seti classic, so that we all will be able to see our deeds of old times...

and it only works in some of my web browsers.
In Netscape I bet! 'cause it's an English version :-)))=

Please please please bring back the old web site.
Nothing to bring back - it's still there. It just has another address: http://seticlassic.ssl.berkeley.edu

The new color scheme looks horrible as well.
Right you are again. But remember: These projects are run by scientists, not designers... The old Seti-Page is graphically horrible as well.

Well, even if Boinc will live during many time, Classic Seti is not still dead.
And You can hope that Boinc will live at least as long as Classic Seti ; if you have doubts, 6 years are many time for a project...

Do you want to get banned for 31 years and your account & credits deleted at a Boinc project ? Predictor@home is your best choice.

Is it a problem that the page displays in Japanese when you otherwise use Japanese software?
