Does anyone know when or if the Pending Credits
Feature will be turned back on?

I am sure it will probably be back up after all the new hardware and software is working as it is supposed to. They are introducing new parts little by little as to not overburden the servers and such.

Happy Crunching,

Rocky

Yeah, don't add features to a system when the system may be buggy....I mean the validation thing ahs been causing them so much trouble, I wouldn't be worrying about a pending credits section until the validator was up-to-date.

I would like to see this feature back on for verification purposes. I currently have two rigs on Boinc. The system which has completed more wu's and has more speed and ram is only getting about 1/5 of the credit, which seems to be backwards. It is most likely the validation system but still seems strange. I also updated to WinXP SP2 on that system and the other with less work and more credit is running WinXP SP1. Hopefully it is not a compatability problem with SP2.

just guessing ;-) if the feature was not planned to go online again, the link to it would propably have been removed ;-)

I'd like to see the "pending" feature back too, but as I understand it, providing that info takes time away from the validators and splitters.

Well at least I know that XP-SP2 is not a problem with BOINC. I got over a 1000 credits in the past 6 hours.

Hope that at some point the hardware will be able to support this feature again. I know that it was originally turned off due to the drag it created.
