Yes, the ability to "hide" inactive computers would be my number 1 feature request. It makes it difficult to manage otherwise which is the reason I like GridRepublic in the first place....
I have a bunch of computers that GridRepublic is managing. Three of them have been decomissioned. I would like to remove them from the "My Computers" tab/list of computers I have on GridRepublic. How do I do this when the BOINC host has already been shutdown??
As for the logout problem -- are any of the other people who are having stats problems (Michael, bferrari) also having the same logout problem? (I cannot reproduce it).
Yes, I am also having the same logout problem, isn't that funny.
My browser is Firefox 3.0.4 Windows Vista
Ok, I just logged in on another Windows XP machine using IE 7.0 browser, I had UPDATED STATS!! Then, I refreshed my Firefox browser on my original workstation where I was having all the problems, and suddenly my stats are updated there too!!!!
Caching issue, but at the server level?? This is strange.

To get people to show up at an event, you really need to build "virtual interest" first. Via, interesting web forums and mentions in the local newspapers and tv shows. That's how our website got popular. http://www.TewksburyIssues.org
It usually takes a cruddy project built in someone's backyard before they will get interested enough in actually coming out of their homes into a place. But there is nothing worse than setting up a get together and one person shows up. You really need to build a critical mass before you start having get togethers.
How? Guest speakers, local politicians who have interest in what you are doing, mentions in school, local, and even national newspapers, etc. Get friendly with the reporters from local newspapers by going to city or town meetings where these reporters show up. Get friendly and start talking eventually about GridRepublic. You will be amazed at how facinated people will be when you talk about world-wide computing grids, no really. The local reporters are always looking for a different story, GR seems to be just the ticket.
Building "critical mass" takes a while, took me at least two years to get to that level, but my world consists of 30,000 people, your world is global so should take significantly less time.
Get the GridRepublic website hooked up with "Diggit", "Reddit" and all the other tools out there that will get your website's name out there.
You can start with this a tool that connects you to all the social mining websites out there, though I haven't used it yet, a friend who develops popular websites told me about it:
Add these two values together: 1252 + 223 = 1475 credits for the Windows server called "RYE".
Yet in GR, on the "My Computers" tab, the value that is show is 461.34 which is an old value from at least two days ago.
Eventually the number will get refreshed but then it will take two days for the value to change again in GR, despite the fact that the project pages are far ahead.
Q: After you login to GR, are your points as reported on under "my projects" the same as under "my computers"?
A: Yes, the points are the same number. I even added up all the computers on the "My Computers" tab in GR to make sure the "Total Credits" number was accurate.
Q: Is the list of computers under "my computers" accurate, or are there any "duplicate" listings?
A: I don't have any duplicate listings.
Q: Do you have computers attached to the projects which are not attached to GR?
A: I don't believe I have any computers in this situation.
Would it help if I emailed you my account information and you could look around yourself ? I wouldn't mind, especially if it will make this easier for you to debug.
But really wierd, on each of the project pages for SETI and Einstein there is a small section at the bottom called: "Projects in which you are participating"
Under this section there are different values that what I show above.
There doesn't seem to be any SETI/Einstein correlation. I have six hosts that are ARE posting data to BOINC, but NOT to GR. The six hosts show "0" on GR,yet have real data on BOINC.
In GR on this page: http://www.gridrepublic.com/index.php, click on the "My Computers" tab. There is a list of my computers. Six of them are reporting "0". They should not be reporting "0"
As a comparison, if I go onto the BOINC agent, click on one of my two projects (SETI, or Einstein), then click on the "Your Computers" button...
For those six hosts in particular, SETI will show some values, Einstein is "0".
It looks like GR is displaying results for SETI and not Einstein as well (combined).
I added six more boxes to my "server farm". They all have been running BOINC (SETI/EINSTEIN) for two days now.
The new servers show up in my "Server List", but they are all reporting zero still. All my other existing servers also are reporting old data from two days ago.
I know that in another day, GR will show more up-to-date data, but it is never accurate for me anyway.
