.... that BOINC projects just cannot K.I.S.S.! Why do they have to use that piece of crap, phpBB, for their fora? Just use the one that comes with BOINC. K.I.S.S.!!!! The one on Riesel Sieve was set up "automagically". Yeah, right! I try logging in and it says my username and password do not match. I try getting my password sent to me, it says my username and e-mail address do not match. GO FRELLING FIGURE!!!!

The BOINC board is a better place to post about glitches in BOINC.

When you are sent from any other BOINC project forums to these forums, you need to make a new posting account.

These forums are completely separate from any of the Projects. They are available for BOINC specific problems. If you have problems with any science application post on the affected Project forums first.

Now, what is the point of rating a statement like that as a -1?

Simply because someone didn't like him. That's why we don't have the rating system here anymore, too many people would rate a post negative because they didn't like the person posting.


CR you forgot to warn me about the weather coming my way....from your state into Maryland...

Why do you people insist upon dragging my threads off topic!?!?!?

Actually, I figured it would be something you'd be interested in. And CR answered it pretty well.

All PhpBB based forums require separate registration. They are not the default forum that comes with BOINC. It is the same at Spinhenge and SIMAP, and the CPDN phpbb forum.

Well, I guess I need to explain this a bit more for those that cannot comprehend my initial post.

  • 1. Using BOINCstats' BAM system, I signed up with RieselSieve.

  • 2. I went to RieselSieve's website to log into my newly created account.

  • 3. I saw that the RieselSieve site had automagically set me up on the phpBB message boards with an account.

  • 4. I tried logging into the phpBB message board account and I am told my password and username do not match. So to speak.

  • 5. I tried getting my password e-mailed to me. I got a message that my e-mail address and username do not match. So to speak.



Ok, is that more clear now? I am not seeking any help, I am venting frustration because of this. There is no way to set up an account with that phpBB message board. At least none that I could find. I sign up with a new project, cannot post on their message boards, cannot promote the team I am on, etc.

SETI is the hub of the BOINC world, hence, I come here to vent. Can't vent on RieselSieve now can I?

I checked their forum and no "siran" or version thereof exists. Where did you see you were automatically set up?

Siran, we KNEW you were venting.
So, Jeffrey, let's save the discussion of comprehension for the matters that count. ;)

Well, I'm not really sure now. I just logged into Riesel and cannot find what I read the told me that. I did read, however, something in my account that may have given me the idea. It may have been a misunderstanding. If it was, my apologies.

Feel free to vent frustrations here anyway.

Na'shaya,

Well, seems I was mistaken. Yes, even Vulcans can make mistakes. I now have an account on that message board. It still doesn't change the fact that I don't like phpBB, I don't, but I endure.

@Misfit: Although I didn't use your links, I thank you.
