I was messing with preferences on one of my other BOINC projects, and now it runs the computation all the time, instead of just when idle

I went to the website of my other BOINC project and was trying to mess with the settings there so that the BOINC client would switch back to that one (it had been longer than 60 minutes). I switched it to 30 minutes and other wise put the same settings there. And now the client runs all the time, and it didn't switch applications. I've gone back to seti's preferences, but it still continues to run continuously, even though it doesn't say that anywhere in my preferences.

The BOINC-Client catches the newest Global Prefs regardless of which Project they come from. These updates are performed with every update request.

So If you update your GlobalPrefs at Seti and then update your Client to the SetiProject you catch the newest one.

After that you update to another BOINC-Project and your newer GlobalPrefs were send to this Project.

If you want to know where your Client got the Prefs from just look at Messages after Start or in the Global_Prefs.xml File.
