Has anyone noticed this problem: I have two seperate preferences setup for my clients - home and work. Work is the default preference, and it also matches my primary preferences. I only have two PC's at 'home', and both are set to use the 'home' preference on their individual pages. However, when I update the clients (so preferences take effect), they suddenly start using my default general preferences. I am running 4.05. Any ideas?

I have the same problem, I have a number of machines set for my work profile, which is set to not download too much work as they crunch slower than the benchmark, and I don't want to take units I can't process.

I also have home machines that crunch quicker than their benchmarks, and I want them to download lots of work because they run out quickly -

Either way they are both defaulting back to my defualt setting which I have had to set at a compromise!.

Can this be fixed ?
