Hi,
I just downloaded latest BOINC software version and installed it, after which I tried attaching to BAM as accaount manager using the user ID and pwd I use for the forums (just registered) but it tells me thre's no such user

Any idea about what I should do (I couldn't seem to find any separate registration page for BAM on BOINCSTAS home page)

Thanx

Darkpella

BAM registration is closed for now

To elaborate, BAM is a separate account from the forums. It's still Beta now, and they only took a few hundred accounts for now to test it.

A small note to that effect somewhere would have been nice.

There is a note in the Forum

And there is a note in the news page too

O.K., now I'm confused.

I used to occassionaly use the shout box, but it says I have to log in. I have tried but no luck.

Is the shout box now called "Bam"?

If not how do I register for the shout box?

Thanks.

Warm regards,

Gary

Yes, it is.

And we added a piece of software to it with which you can control your BOINC projects and clients.

I upgraded from 4 point something to 5.4.9 and that alone solved the problem.

Thanks.

Warm regards,

Gary

I agree with that.
A note on the register page http://www.boincstats.com/bam/register.php would be more pertinent, I think.

Because, when you arrive here from google searching for "boinc account manager", you go to the main page (http://www.boincstats.com/bam/), where nothing lets you suppose inscriptions are closed. And furthermore all links to register lead you to the register page where nothing makes you understand registrations are closed for now.

From there, it is not obvious that every newcomer (like me) go to the news or forum sections to find out more. (well actually, I did, )

Regards.
