I run both SETI and Einstein. Would you please make the tabs on the BOINC client consistent. "Your preferences" on SETI goes to "Your account", wheres "Your Account" on Einstein goes to "Your Account".

Another thing a tad annoying is the task name, which the client displays as a mixture of alpha and numerics, whereas on the web pages it has a numeric reference.

Regards

John

Did you try to click on the numeric reference link? I mean, when you go to Your Account, Tasks, it shows all your tasks. Click on the Work Unit ID link and you'll see the same name of the task showing as the name here, as will it show as the name on the Task ID.

Yes it does, it just that it would be clearer if the same identifiers were used on the web pages and the BOINC task list.
