If you are on dial-up, you'll use the manual update button to report finished work. Also if you are using BOINC 4.38, you will notice that this doesn't work. I am in this situation but I have noticed that clicking the update button will send a request to the scheduler only if you need more work to fill up your cache. So if you have WU's to report, just have on until you've finished some work and then click update.

Hope this helps ppl.

You Really Shouldn't Use 4.38 on Dial up yet....

Go back to 4.25 untill the buggs are worked out......

It is frustrating to have sevral Finished WU's Piling up
and sitting on your puter and running alphas..what if something
goes wrong and then you loose all that work......

Having users of all types of equipment help by testing the project is useful, as long as they know that it is a test of possibly buggy code, and they don't whine about bugs. Reporting them is just fine, the developers need to know about the bugs.

This one is known and is, I believe, fixed in 4.39.
