confused Resource share setting

I recently changed my resource share setting for WCG from 100 to 10, but now I can't find the page to change it back. Every other BOINC project I'm attached to has a standard preferences Web page accessible from a "My Preferences" button except WCG. Where is the equivalent Web page for WCG?

Re: Resource share setting

Didactylos figured that you were using the default profile.

The "home", "work" and "school" profiles are also available for BOINC in case you have a wide ranging mix of computers you want to separate.

Since WCG started with the UD version, the evolution to add and simultaneously support BOINC was a bit different. We can do it, but you don't see that standard BOINC interface used in the other projects.

Resource Share doesn't matter at all unless you are running some other BOINC project in addition to WCG. It's the RATIO that is significant. 10 + 10 would accomplish the same thing as 100 + 100 (each project gets 50% in those cases if you are only running two).

Actually there are 2 buttons of 13 available in left margin of the Projects Tab when selecting the WCG line:

1. My Grid going to your main info page https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/viewMyMemberPage.do
2. Device Profiles going to http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/device/viewProfiles.do

Latter lists out the 'default' preference profile plus other profiles you created at WCG. Choose the one you have attached to your device to amend the value and save.

Re: Resource share setting

Thanks for the help. I had missed seeing the "Project Weight" setting.
