Something's funny here. My stats show 4,938.89 credits, but suddenly my work unit count dropped to 52! That means nearly 150 work units suddenly dropped from my finished work units.
Does this happen often?
Is someone now the proud "owner" of my work units (and maybe some others)?

Every once and a while the old records get deleted. You still keep all of your credit but the old records of the work units gets purged of old files.

Mine just had a bunch cleaned out also.

This only happens after the results are put in the science database, so nothing lost, just less for the online computer to go through getting your credit total.
