I have one work unit which was completed on the Aug 8 and the other computer completed it on Aug 6. The quorum is set to 2 and the claimed credits match. I did notice the units waiting to validate went to 0 so I suspect this unit has gotten lost. I've seen this happen before and suspect credits got lost.

The work unit can be seen at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=145295929

Is there any reason this unit is not validating?

Your Result was done by an old version of the Chicken apps "Version info: Windows P4 SSE3 32-bit V5.15 'Chicken Good!' (R-1.3|+freq|xP+)". This may be significant. Please visit http://lunatics.at/ to get the latest version.

I have seen WUs like this before, but they have shown "checked but no consensus yet" or somthing similar. Your results show "Initial".

You may have to wait a few weeks for this one as the 3rd computer in the Quorum has not contacted the servers since 6 Aug 07.

The third computer isn't technically part of the quorum, but it may well be called into play as a tie-breaker if the first two results disagree. Or its successor will be, if the owner of the current arbiter has taken his/her ball home in a huff.

As someone (Alinator?) has pointed out, the "checked but no consensus yet" message has been withdrawn from service as part of a recent server 'upgrade'. Shame, really: it was helpful to see it in situations like this. Please Mr. Administrator Sir, can we have our message back?

Yeah, I've pointed this out a few times since the backend change was made.

I think the devs expanded on our request reagrding this matter more than was strictly requested. The point most of us made about it was it would be nice if WU's in the Checked, But No Consensus (CBNC) state were still shown in the Pending Summary, and not that we had a problem with the terminology for the validator state.

The truth of the matter is this is worse than it was before (IMHO), because by switching the result back to a Validate State of "Initial" it implies the backend is ignoring the WU for some reason, rather than it's just waiting for another result to compare with. So in essense it gives even less accurate information than it was before.
