You can clear out notices manually by deleting or modifying the .xml files. To find them, go to your BOINC Data Directory, go to the notices folder, and find the file you want to edit. Each project has their own file. ID: 56976 ·

It's just annoying when the balloon pops up over the tray icon saying there's a new notice and it turns out to be two weeks old and no longer relevant. signature ID: 57011 ·

You can disable the balloon by going into BOINC Manager->Tools->Options->General->Notice reminder interval: never->OK. Then the old notices only get revived any next time you exit BOINC and restart it. ID: 57020 ·

Each project has their own file. I did this yesterday and again today, as best I remember their XML filenames, deleted archive_primegrid... deleted primegrid_rss... deleted feeds_primegrid... deleted primegrid_notices... Yet the more than half a dozen PrimeGrid RSS notices received before I turned off their RSS feed (in their community preferences) are listed in the Notices Tab. Truly annoying! Do I really have to wait a month before they're gone? Or did I miss something? Wish it was true, according to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/GuiRpc "Unlike messages, notices can be removed." in get_notices(int seqno, NOTICES& notices. Some way to sort or filter them would be better... is the following available, or still just a dream: USER INTERFACE: "Buttons will let users filter by project and select notices," per http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/Notifications If we can select them, we could also DELETE them??? PLEASE?!! In so many cases, NO news is GOOD news! Thanks a bunch! ID: 57560 ·
