The Team Captain has told me to tell you that he has now updated the "country" entry for UBT so that it is now correct.
You should also note from the thread link supplied that BOINC is now the "preferred" download client program for WCG....the UD client for Windows may not be supported for much longer (if at all) according to Dr Anderson, who advised me this yesterday.
I assume therefore that any existing Windows based members on WCG will be requested to move over to BOINC.
I've passed on your thanks to the Team Captain....All he said was "IF WCG projects admins had told him that they were enabling this functionality, he'd have done it when so advised..."
Guess that's true of other teams as well - if they don't get told or can't be bothered to trawl ALL the forums and find out about this stuff, then they'll remain ignorant about it....
As always, another issue where UBT are "leading the way" and getting the projects to "toe the line" and act professionally....
Ah well....in the meantime, it might mean we're #1 UK Team on WCG for a while then.
After a minor hiccough, 'Nationalities' are now working. As suspected, we're #1 for the time being. Not doing so well in the World table as we've slipped back out of the top 100 to 101.
I know there are UK teams that have a higher total than us so the sooner they update their profiles the better. I'd prefer us to be #1 for real rather than due to any error or omission.
