Has the project URL changed here?

Its not clear from either the PS3GRID.net or the gpugrid.net websites which URL we should be using. I'm sure you can use both but you should clarify this!

There are also links lying around the gpugrid.net website that take you back to the ps3grid.net website. Specifically on the "Your account" page of the gpugrid.net website, i scroll down to the bottom of the page and the link says "Return to PS3GRID main page", so it takes me off the gpugrid.net website.

Whats the official story? A clear news story about this on your front page might be a good idea.

for all:
To clarify something, both websites are the same website. The two URLS, even if shown by your browser as GPUGRID, is the same as PS3GRID. Your account on both is the same, message boards are the same. For web browsers it deos not matter. It is better to use PS3GRID in boinc, as using GPUGRID will redirect, it gives you a harmless error, but it takes 1 extra request every time.

for GDF:
If you change the URL to something new, all users will have to detach old URL and attach to new URL. You can of course use a redirect but it takes an extra request every communication and it fills our boinc message log with an error messages each time, harmless error, but it wastes time and space.
