I've just come back from a 10 day holiday to find that my credit has not changed one little bit.
Now my home PC was switched off while I was away, however there are at least four machines at work that should have continued working for me over that time.
Has the project been that bad for the past 10 days that I'm not likely to have seen anything completed?

Secondly, my home PC still has 6 work units stored.
Alas the "Report Deadline" on these are 7-8-2004
The machine seems happy to continue running them, however as you can see they are now out of date.
I tried an "update now" but that doesn't seem to have done anything, is it worth continuing to process these jobs which have passed their "deadline" date?

You know, I used to go away on holiday and look forward to seeing how many units my machines had done.
To come back 10 days later and to find that I don't have a single credit extra to my name is a bit of a joke.
I started a new machine, a P4 3.2Ghz running on my last day or work.
It currently hasn't got a single point of credit, nice.

The servers/validator have been down for most of the period you were gone, so very little credit has been given to anyone in that period.

If the workunits have not finished (on the server) yet you will still get credit even though they are overdue. Even with all the server problems month overdue results are probably not going to get credit. If you have not gotten new work yet do a project reset, beware though the server has not been giving more work lately. If you have gotten new work you may be able to get rid of the bad workunits by killing the seti task via the task manager.
