(moderation:
I keep getting this in my messages when trying to get work from Albert.
10/17/2015 10:55:30 AM | Albert@Home | see scheduler log messages on http://einstein5.aei.uni-hannover.de/EinsteinAtHome/host_sched_logs/12/12573
But that link doesn't go anywhere.

After months of getting the exact same message, i just happened to get some FGRP4 tasks:
I thought, maybe my profile was corrupted, after all, A@h is a server test project. And yes, clicking "save changes" in the profile settings resolved the issue. The only change i did was opting out "Run CPU versions of applications for which GPU versions are available".

I haven't managed to get work recently, then i set
'Run CPU versions of applications for which GPU versions are available:' to 'No' and was immediately sent FGRPSSE work
(Sorry, i had read the last post then totally forgot about it, so just more evidence)
Setting it back to 'Yes' so i expect to get CPU work, then gives me:

Hi!
I also haven't managed to get work recently. I read that tip yesterday:
"The only change i did was opting out "Run CPU versions of applications for which GPU versions are available".
I tried that and fiddled also with the other settings at the "Project Preference" page. I saved settings and tried back and forth. My computer still didn't get any work. I tried to get work only for one host and I believe I had set its location "Work" or "Home" (and saved the changes for that same PROJECT Preference set).
Today I tried this: I changed the location of that host to "Generic". Then I made changes to the "Generic" Preference set... with opting out "Run CPU versions of applications for which GPU versions are available".
Then I forced an update for Albert at the BOINC Manager. And... success for me too... that host started receiving some FGRPSSE !!
I could be wrong about this, but I remember like I've had some strange situation also somewhere in the past when the saved location for a host has been something else than "Generic". I have tried absolutely the same Preference settings for Home, Work or School at some point... but then "Generic" location has been a must.
Which location have you set for your hosts now?
edit: I tested with another host now. I set it to location "Work" and gave that location identical Preferences settings as with "Generic". The host was quickly able to get three work units, but not more. Then I changed it's location to "Generic" and updated, but still that host didn't get any additional work. Work cache was still half empty.
Then I disconnected the host from internet for some time. After I reconnected and updated, the host got more work.
I don't really know what sometimes gives results :D
Another thing I'm 95% "sure" these days is.... when BOINC Manager is downloading files from Albert, that traffic can't always be seen at the traffic tab. That was the case today again... just half an hour ago. The first couple of files I saw at the traffic tab... but then, as I kept a very strict eye on the "active seconds" when the client contacted Albert server... I did see NOTHING at the traffic tab, I was able to repeat that observation several times as the additional work kept coming every minute. About five seconds before BOINC client started contact with Albert server I switched to traffic tab... and kept staring at it for half a minute. I saw nothing happening. BUT... when I looked at the packets tab immediately and clicked "show all work"... there was some new work from Albert! And that work had landed in there during that last minute, again. I was able to repeat that strange observation several times. I remember seeing that same behaviour also earlier this fall.
I was thinking am I crazy, but nah... :D I'm pretty sure about this. Albert is able to send traffic in such a way that it's sometimes invisible for the BOINC Manager traffic tab.

Yep, it's wrong. We'll look into it... Sorry for the delay, we're very busy at the main project.

As a quick workaround: the correct URL pattern is "https://albertathome.org/host/COMPUTER-ID/log", with COMPUTER-ID being "12573" in your case.

I see this is still a problem.
Initially, before the host gets an ID it is reported as "https://albertathome.org/host/0/0/log" but once assigned an ID it becomes "https://albertathome.org/host/xx/xxXXX/log", ie using the first 2 digits. The link works but shows machine 16 instead of mine. Yes, the workaround works !
Thanks for the report. We

Thanks for the report. We might be testing a different scheduler on this project right now which doesn't have the correct URL structure patch. We'll look into it...

Yes, it has lost the 'extra' level and now works as it should
