I don't know if this is a bug or some sort of hack. I started using BAM! last night and besides it not being very explanatory I have figured out the basics except for this.

I have been a member of SETI.USA for quite a while, and once I added SETI@Home to BAM! and then attached to it the BOINC client shows me as a member of GKS Kft.. I never joined this team, on my account page it shows me as SETI.USA still. I quit and rejoined and it still doesn't update. I cannot detach from the project using the client and I am not even attached to the project with BAM!. Any ideas?

Delete post. I have gave up on BAM! since it never obeyed my settings, there isn't a user guide, the whole wrong team thing, can't join teams, can't join projects. Lots of problems they need to work out. Stay away if you ask me.

BAM! has their own forums, you know? http://boincstats.com/forum/forum_index.php .. much easier to ask these things there, where there are people more knowledgeable around than waiting for someone here to come up with a hypothetical cause. :-)

there isn't a user guide

http://boincstats.com/bam/ and http://boincstats.com/page/faq.php?pr=bam not enough? Then there's still their forums.

Tried.

In order to create a new thread in "BAM! General" you must have a certain amount of credit or your account must have a certain age. This is to prevent and protect against abuse of the forum.
You have insufficient rights to access this page.

And it was more than that but like you said there's a forum for that and I won't rant here.

any clue on how to "attach" to a project? I try and it says something like "no project to attach to". what does this mean? When it prints me a log of activities, it show several entries of something like can't attach or something like that. I stopped seti@home many years ago out of frustration when something was updated because I thought it user-unfriendly, or at least me-unfriendly. any help on this attach thing?

How do I "attach" to a project? Or download a project? The "error log' tells me several times that I did not or cannot get a project to have it start working.
Very frustrating for a non-computer-wizard person. I did a bunch of seti tasks many years ago but gave up when the new and improved (and unusable for me cuz I couldn't connect to it) version came along. Thought I'd give it a try again, but I'm just as frustrated...

How do I "attach" to a project?

In Simple view: BOINC Manager->Add project->Attach to project->Choose project->check "Yes, existing user" and fill in your email address and password (the same you set for using the account you post with)->OK.

In Advanced view: BOINC Manager->Tools->Attach to project->Choose project->check "Yes, existing user" and fill in your email address and password (the same you set for using the account you post with)->OK.

If you're asking how to do this in BAM!, then follow the steps on http://boincstats.com/bam/

You have attached this computer to the SETI@home project and successfully downloaded two tasks at 20:06:15 UTC; that is half an hour before your post.

Where do you see a problem?
