I'm using 5.8.8 and testing out AMS functionality using BAM!

I got everything set up ok. All of my projects stayed attached.

However, Pirates is the only one that will let me manually detach though BOINC Manager. The rest are grayed out (as they should be if I understand everything correctly). OK... except for BOINC Alpha, but that can't be controlled by BAM! so it's working as expected (again, if I'm understanding everything correctly).

So what is special about Pirates? Or am I doing something wrong?

I've been using 5.7.5 for a while and I just noticed on one of my machines (have not yet checked the others) that the Detach button is not grayed on all projects. I did not check to see if it, in fact, detaches project.

Hello Kathryn!

I've just installed 5.8.8, too, but on my machine the Pirates-detach-button is greyed out.
Instead:
ABC@Home Beta, Belgian Beer@Home, vtu@Home and TMRL DRTG are able to detach them manually.
Not sure why that is so, three of them are BAM-supported...

Well, when I detached and then synched with BAM! again, the detach button was correctly grayed out.

Not sure what was up?

When I have some time tomorrow I'll detach from BAM! and then reattach and see if the same thing happens.
