As you may know already, we have a significant problem at the moment. Everyone using an app_info.xml file - which includes, but is not limited to, everyone using an optimised application - cannot download any new work.

We are seeing posts in Technical News and Number Crunching from people who are clearly suffering from this problem, but who say they don't have the technical knowledge (or fluency in technical English) to apply the workrounds which have been tested and recommended.

I wonder if some of these non-technical optimisers have been guided and supported by their teams?

If so, I would urge all team captains to publicise the problem, and offer quidance in whatever form is most appropriate and accessible to their team members (as Kirsten has already done, in Danish, for BOINC Denmark), through their team websites, fora or mailing lists. [My apologies if you have already done this.]

The main focal point for discussions about this issue is the thread Ghost WU issue (and some talk about deadlines) in the Number Crunching forum.

Many thanks.

Richard would this be better served if it was posted in the Numbers Crunching? I don;t mind if it is in this forum tho...but if you would like me to move it I will..

I am founder of US NAVY and well, we are talking about this with our technical gurus over on our forums...if we figure something out I *will* be posting it in Numbers crunching...

No worry, the mods will leave this thread here for now...once the issue is resolved we will close it.

A lot of people who hardly look on other boards, have been helped to use the Chicken app by people on this board, and they are hardly inclined to start reading on other boards about the problems they now have, because of the Chicken app.

So it would be nice if those who have been helped to use the Chicken app are being contacted by those who have helped them and be explained the situation and what to do about it.

Thank you.

I've just posted something on our forum - you don't of course necessarily have to be the team leader to provide such information.

I got some of my techies on it.
