Who can tell me why we can't link to World Community Grid from users' account pages, where it shows links to all the projects that user participates in. For example: https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=7803901

Was this because WCG always used HTTPS and the other projects didn't?
Or is it because WCG uses the user name as the unique identifier, and the other projects use the email address as the unique identifier?
Or does it have another reason?

I asked BOINC and WCG admins, but haven't received an answer yet.

Thanks for that. But do you mean WCG doesn't have a link in there because it doesn't work with account managers? Or that it always was a problem with HTTPS vs HTTP?

As far as I know, AMs follow what the project wants, and while projects may use HTTPS for their websites now, that doesn't mean their scheduler contact is via HTTPS.

As for the authenticator, if you see that happening at a project, that's because David is doing away with the authenticator and setting up a new way of logging in. More about that pretty soon.
