Thanks for the headsup; at least I won't spend hours trying to chase a bug that I thought was on my side.

Hey, seems to be back to normal, at least over here. Thanks so much for putting up with my questions, etc! :) Now back to computing...

Thanks so much. I may wait for the dev team to work on it for a bit; bad things tend to happen when I play with my DNS settings....

I ran out of work earlier today, and it seems to be taking forever...stuck on "downloading work from server" in the BOINC manager. As such, no pretty screensaver/no active projects. How long should I give it? What to do? Note: I am just a long-term fan, not a power user or anything like one.

Yeah, for some reason, it took several hours for my custom to hit also. Glad it all turned out! Or to quote a friend of mine's high school yearbook quote, "All's well that ends." :)

Could it be that the website that is hosting the image that you want doesn't allow for direct linking to the picture? Per earlier post can you please put up the exact URL of the image you want to use?

Alas, even if there was a live camchat, I would be in my cube farm in NYC, and unable to attend...I will keep an eye out for this on YouTube!

it still took a while to appear as my background (let it run overnight; in the AM it had automagically updated)

I think the new picture should show immediately if you:
1) [Update] the project (SETI@home) (from BOINC Manager)
2) Restart BOINC (maybe even Snooze / Un-Snooze will be enough)
 


Yes, quitting BOINC all together and then manually restarting should force it to update. It worked in my case.

SOLUTION I think:

An 800x600 picture seems to be the ticket. I updated per instructions, but it still took a while to appear as my background (let it run overnight; in the AM it had automagically updated).

HTH.

Thank you SETI! It's good to be back.

PS here is the image I'm using now...a nice NYC skyline shot:

Heyo. Longtime user getting back into SETI @Home after finally getting a new rig.

I, too, am having problems getting my background image to show up.

Do we have any confirm RE the 800x600 limit?

Thanks!
