If I click "your account" for CPDN within Boinc Manager / Boinc Tasks I get https://www.cpdn.org/cpdnboinc/show_user.php?userid=2002390 which is the minimalist version other people see. It should go straight to https://www.cpdn.org/home.php so I can adjust settings.

I've checked Einstein and LHC, and they both work properly.

Noted. I'll raise it. It's probably because when the boinc software was upgraded a number of site specific configurations have to be added on top of the boinc vanilla install and this one got missed.

Remember that the link has to have two separate outcomes - the private "full detail" view is only allowed if the user has an established, persistent, 'remember me' login active on that computer (not always recommended). If the login hasn't been established, or has expired, it usually bounces to the login page, which I find even more irritating.

At least Einstein's re-implementation of the website in Drupal returns the user to the requested url after successful login: the default BOINC server package has its own idea of where you wanted to go.

All my projects keep me logged in virtually forever. The most I ever did was perhaps tick "keep me logged in". I assume most people do so, to log in each time would be very tedious.
