It said "unrecognized tag" when it should have said "unexpected tag". It should recognise it and tell me it's in the wrong place.
If this page takes an hour to load, reduce posts per page to 20 in your settings, then the tinpot 486 Einstein uses can handle it.
I rely on Boinctasks to do the checking, but for some reason it's never heard of that particular tag. This is going to be a problem unless Fred or Vitalii can fix it, because every time I use Boinctasks to edit that config from now on it's going to delete it.

It's not just Boinc, I also run Folding and Sheepit. Getting anybody to fix anything is ridiculous.
What is Sheepit? Is it something like Boinc? And do you have to run multiple clients to make it do what you want as well, with different names for each?
It's a distributed rendering program. You can submit your own videos to render, or do what I'm currently doing and just help others. One client will use all the cores of your CPU, or 1 GPU. I'm not sure if it will use both, or 2 GPUs. It only supports Nvidia and not AMD, all my cards are currently AMD as they're better value for money, but they won't run Sheepit or GPUGrid. I'm getting a Nvidia shortly, it's third on my list of things to buy, after an orthopaedic mattress and a CV joint. I've been told you can run multiple clients easily, I think you just launch it twice. People did that a lot before multicore was made better. It's very easy to install, you just download the .exe file and run it. It connects to the server, gets a frame to render, and launches the blender program. I've told Boinc to pause the CPU whenever the blender app is running, that way Boinc fills in the gaps when there's no Sheepit projects to run.
This is the sort of thing they make, each frame takes 30 seconds to half an hour to render on a decent CPU (depending on how complex the scene is), but since it's distributed, and there are about 700 people online at a time, you get 700 frames done in that time: Top 10 ways to break stuff

You can always use the XML

You can always use the XML Validator website to check your XML syntax for XML files you generate to catch the simple errors.
