I've hidden Sunbadger's original post because he or she added email addresses. Since I cannot edit anyone's posts outside my own, and spam bots read these forums, this was the only way I could remove the email addresses and leave the post standing.
My Bonice messages comes back "cannot connect to core client" {email address redacted}, however they cannot get it right I do not have a reliable email. Countless hours and Corporate, still does not work. I changer my email to {email address redacted}. I do not believe all my projects were changed, I tried changing email on the Bonics Profile yesterday and thought I was successful, but it would only take my old email address at login here on logon. I also wonder if my name Sunbadger* is sometimes taken as SunBadger* too. I have been trying to run Nvidia 3 X 680 as my card and this has been a disaster with PPS Sleive, Gen's many producing errors and usually at the beginning but sometimes at the end and occasionally they are completed and validated. Ageless question about private email arise out of people with limited or new computer skill afraid of asking an embarrassing question. They should know this, they think, and if I post everbody will think I am stupid. Also forming somewhat of a bond makes it easier to go do the same thing. Just my 2 Cents. I realy do think you do a great job and I have been lurking for years. Cheers to you!

Whenever BOINC Manager (the graphical user interface) cannot make contact with the BOINC client, you will get a pop-up that states it cannot connect to the (core) client. It does however not state any email address.

What do you mean with they cannot get it right I do not have a reliable email?

Countless hours and Corporate, still does not work. I changer my email to {email address redacted}.

All projects are separate entities. BOINC is a separate entity as well.
When you register at one project, or change your account details there, you only change these at that project, not at all projects and not at BOINC.

These BOINC forums here are running off their own database on their own server, on their own IP address on their own internet address.

I also wonder if my name Sunbadger* is sometimes taken as SunBadger* too.

At BOINC and all projects the unique identifier is your email address, not your user name. 1,504 people can run with the username Sunbadger* and all be unique, as long as all of them registered with their own email address.

I have been trying to run Nvidia 3 X 680 as my card and this has been a disaster with PPS Sleive, Gen's many producing errors and usually at the beginning but sometimes at the end and occasionally they are completed and validated.

Uh OK. But you do know that questions about project science applications are best asked at the project? :-)

Which is all fine and understandable, but these people should also understand that I have limited time and am not always on these forums. There are many knowledgeable people on here who can help, all within 24 hours as well.

I can't speak for all of us who help, but I for one don't think that any question is stupid. And as long as it's asked in a civil manner, you'll get an answer from me if I know about the subject. Can't say I know much about Linux or OS X though, so that's why it's always better to post in the forums.

Thank you. :-)

Always like the compliments. Especially after the crap I had thrown at me by a user at another project. So a heart-felt thank you. :-)
