I would appreciate feedback and opinions from potential users on the following: 1) Addition of a BOINC User stats entry. 2) Use of BOINC User stats as default info displayed when firefox is started. 3) Option to select which project's stats are displayed when firefox is started. 4) Option to use last displayed stats the next time firefox is started. 5) Display project icons enabled as default. 6) Saving last known stats for projects. Reason: Rather than displaying "data unavailable" (to me) it seems preferable to display last known stats with a modified icon (with a red X overlay?) to indicate the project's current stats are unavailable.

I was going to question feature no. 3, but realised that there are many users out there that do not have S@H as there main project. Can't wait for this version to be released! One other thing.....the update frequency, although set to .5 hrs, does in my experience take some time to actually sync. with the web sites current total! can this be addressed or is it an xml issue?.

I'm thinking he's no longer interested in the extension. Let me know if you want Chris Means e-mail address. He did say he would release the other extension project which was used by TamCaP. It looks like things are really taking off for you. I like your proposals below. I'm thinking that it's now time for me to bow out. I think I will take down my download page this weekend, maybe next weekend. It will all depend on when you can release your version. Let me know when you do....

As it is still being propogated to the sourceforge mirrors the best download sites may be those in the US. If it is unavailable at the server you've selected try another server. If you are downloading from sourceforge you can either allow sourceforge as an installation source or right click on the link and save the boincstats.xpi file to a directory of your choosing and install it manually. Notes: Currently capable of displaying stats for: Climate Prediction Einstein@Home Pirates@Home Predictor@Home Rosetta@Home SETI@Home SETI@Home Beta SIMAP SZTAKI Desktop Grid uFluids@Home Projects have been alphabetized. The first enabled project will be displayed when Firefox is started. LHC@Home has temporarily been removed due to problems displaying stats. For some projects stats are unavailable if RAC (Recent Average Credit) is 0. Please uninstall sahuserstats and restart Firefox before installing boincstats. I am making this version available for testing and feedback purposes. It should be considered a beta version. The changes mentioned previously in this thread will be implemented in future versions of this extension.

You can reach me via my nym here at gmail. There's a difference between my install instructions and installing after download from an extension project on Mozilla.org. My instructions is for the actual file on the users HD. When downloaded from Mozilla.org, install is done through the Extensions Tool in Firefox. If you're just going to have your own download page, just copy/paste the instructions from mine. I believe you would get better coverage, though, if you go through a project on Mozilla.org. Plus it may garner more crunchers when they see the extension and read what it's for. I'll keep my page up until you're ready. Remember, the version I have is the original multi-project, updated for FF v1.5, it's not your version. I sent an e-mail.... (-:< CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS?
