Not sure whether it is some kind of statistical anomaly because I'm unsure exactly how the stats are calculated, but it seems that my production on the same machines has declined about 15% since the 15th of November (2017). Microsoft pushed out some major updates to Windows 10 just about that time. If it's just affecting the Windows 10 machines, then it would have to be an even larger decrease. Of course it's also possible that something has changed on the project side and is affecting all of my machines. (I also have several old Linux boxen and a Mac.)

Somewhat related, but when viewing the statistics I often wish it were possible to filter the statistics to ignore people who have dropped out of the project. Rough guess is that 95% of the "members" are dormant now. (I've come close to joining them several times over the years...)

Minor annoyance is the new color scheme makes it hard to find the text input boxes. The active box gets extra emphasis, but the Title box is currently almost invisible.

Never got a hint on this, but the performance remains below what it used to be. Now I'm wondering if the real problem might be with the Ubuntu machines after 17.10 came out. Perhaps I just didn't notice the decline for a while?

What I have definitely noticed is that the Boinc Manager has apparently become unloadable under Ubuntu 17.10. The System Monitor indicates that the usual 4 tasks (on this machine) are running and consuming the usual CPU resources, but there is no way to see what is going on in detail... Invoking "New Window" on the Boinc Monitor does nothing. (In the past it was sometimes necessary to reboot to a clean state to open the Boinc Manager, but now nothing seems to work.)
