I'm sure I'll have more ideas. Anybody else have ideas? Or contrary thoughts to the two I have already listed? If we get a good list, how should we bring it to the attention of those who could create/distribute an update? Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. ID: 563477 ·

I really like the idea of being able to set the preferences on BOINC Manager...All of my computers are different...But now i have to set the preferences the same on all of them at the website...when i really want different settings for my laptop.

However, different people tend to peruse different portions of the overall site, so does it hurt to gather some ideas here and take it from that point on? Dan, good point about some pros and cons. Using the website means you can set things differently for different computers, all at once rather than walking to each machine, right?

I'm pretty sure there are differences, least of which is the simple and advanced views. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. ID: 563488 ·

Dan, scroll all the way down in general preferences and see: "Add separate preferences for home" "Add separate preferences for school" "Add separate preferences for work" Then again, what if one has multiple computers in a particular location?
