I've got several workunits in my queue that have their Report Deadlines past, but BOINC is continuing to crunch on them. Is this work going to waste? If so, there should be a feature added to detect and skip expired work units. |

Yes it is. > If so, there should be a feature added to detect and skip expired work units. You can detach en re-attach to the project in order to get rid of the processing of the WU's.

Hope you are not in the problems due to it. @ John McLeod VII, Thanks for correcting me. @Heffed, You are right. There is indeed some little chance for it. Greetings from Belgium |
