How do I get that to stick? ID: 115284 ·      Reply Quote

Does it happen with any other projects? If clicking on ,"No new tasks" doesn't work, maybe try "suspend project" while trying to track down the source of the problem? ID: 115285 ·      Reply Quote

How do I get that to stick? Are you connected to any Account Manager? BOINC maintainer. For any insight, check my BOINC Development Blog. ID: 115286 ·      Reply Quote

It won't show the tasks that are in cache but haven't started yet. Show All Tasks will. The button shows the option you have, not the state that it's in. ID: 115288 ·      Reply Quote
