Has there been some recent change to the code for SETI BOINC forum web pages? In the past, I could view a web page and if I wanted to save that page to my hard drive for further review, I could click 'File' > 'Save As' in my browser (MSIE v6.0.2800.1106...), and then save that page, live with working links in the page to my hard drive and review it again later. The links imbeded in the page even worked.

Recently I tried the same thing and about half way thru the 'save' I got an error saying that 'The web page could not be saved to the selected location'.
I tried several 'locations' on my hard drive and several different forum pages, to no avail. I even tried to save a forum page while at a friends house on a different computer, with the same results.

The best I can do now to save a forum page is to use TechSmith Snag-It and capture a picture of the page, which doesn't capture live web links imbeded in the page.

Is this feature of the forums no longer available, temporarily disabled, or maybe some other software on my computer preventing me from saving forum pages? Has anyone else had similar results? If anyone has a constructive answer or solution, I am interested in your reply. Thanking you in advance for any information that you may be able to supply concerning this question.

All I can tell you is it works OK for me. Try deleting your temporary internet files under "Tools - Internet Options"
Help and BOINC documentation is available here.
