Stickies are done by the Forum Moderators, of which there are only one or two. Janus is one... can't recall off the top of my hand who else is one...

It seems that the majority of users are frustrated that boinc comes back requesting proxy and socs when the user has none set.

Solution is quite simple. Do not open up the Boinc manager. Log onto your SETI account on the internet. After and only after you have logged in open Boinc. Now you can connect to the project and the proxy and socs will not show up.

The reason the proxy request shows up is because the user is not logged into the work URL before hand. This has nothing to do with the speed of the servers. It has to do with authentication.

Once the user logs onto the web, then they can open Boinc and the proxy request will not come up. They will be able to get in instantly!

PS: When logging on the web check the box to stay on line otherwise repeat these steps. Stayin logged on will get you in automatically every time Boinc is started.

PPS: Damn, I can fix this and I don't have the slightest idea how to do stickies so that one is gone. Go figure! :)
