Problem with link in client news
Hi there!
I got no clue if this error belongs here or rather somewhere else, but as it got something to do with a website link...

On the following welcome message in the boinc-client:
World Community Grid: Welcome to World Community Grid
Welcome! Check out the exciting ways you can track your contribution and learn about groundbreaking scientific discoveries you help make possible.
read more...

There is a link embedded in the "read more..." part:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/ms/viewExplore.do

Said link results in the following error for me:
The page you requested is not available

Maybe you should check if thats a general problem and not only me, cause imho such errors on a welcome message are a no go.

Kind regards
Ciannicay

Re: Problem with link in client news
The link for me opens the WCG login page. If you have a cookie filter of some sort on your default web browser it may falter, at least that's a suspicion.

If signed in you get "The page you requested is not available".
If not it prompts for login then get "The page you requested is not available".
