Some member with zero credit asked for a team found transfer for \'my\' team to him. So I clicked the link in the email to decline, but the page I get doesn\'t offer the option decline, I can only choose a new founder out of a list of members, in which I am not listed.

So, how do I prevent this team founder transfer? If this works like the other projects, then if I do nothing the transfer will be done in three months.

I\'ve notified the project people.
Hopefully they can get the web pages fixed soon.

Would you mind letting me know the source of the page you saw, please (i.e. \"view source\" in your browser)?

Thanks - that output showed what I thought, so I\'ll delete the post to save space on the thread.
It looks like there\'s a bug somewhere in the BOINC code that hasn\'t set the database entry relating to team founder changes correctly. Presumably this means that there\'s no danger of the founder entry changing if you don\'t reply, but I\'m checking up on this.

I\'ll send Milo a message with a link to this thread, but he won\'t be around until Monday.

I saw this being discussed on the Boinc developers email list a while back, not sure what the outcome was.

I'm a volunteer and my views are my own.

As part of an email from Milo 5 days ago:
Anyway, the database has the ping_user field for this team set to 0,
which means that there is no pending change of founder. Willy should
therefore be OK.


I think that means that there\'s no problem.
