Hello Willy,

Ananas just asked me to ask you the following:
In all Projects but Folding he has changed his name from Pineapple to Ananas, or started right with the german version. But in his combined stats he's still Pineapple.

Folding has ceased it's BOINC existence, there is nothing he can do about that name, Can you please exclude the finished projects from the list of possible common names in cases where other, running projects exist?
Grüße vom Sänger

That's a tricky one.

Adding the retired projects is a entirely different thing from adding regular projects.

It would mean that for every user that the script wants to add from a retired project, the server has to check a table with over 1.5 million accounts to see if a name is entered in another project.

It's certainly doable but the update would take a good while longer.

Hi Willy

Would it be possible to add Folding to the "Sync Retired Projects" option

No. It never supported BAM! which is a necessity.

I've the same problem (see other thread).

How does the script decide from which project it will take the account name? It looks like it's always using that from Folding which IMHO is a bit dumb, because this is one of the few names that can't be changed anymore.
Would it be possible to change the script so that it takes the name from a project that is still active?
