It seems that my account page is no longer counting forums posts. I have posted three comments this morning (4, including this one), but my count hasn't changed. Not a big deal at all, don't really care if my forum activity is tracked at all, but I felt I should mention it so that it can be corrected when convenient. :)

Yeah, it became a problem when they added the avatar and number of posts under it. The number of posts under the avatar is correct. If you click on the number of posts in your account, all posts after the last count will show up. I checked it out yesterday. I think something got "broke" in the coding when the avatar was added.

Sorry about this, will fix it in the next release.

Hey, no problem! I can live with this. I'd like to see the dial-up support in the client fixed. If I'm already on line, there's no problem. It's when BOINC has to connect itself where the problem is. When uploading, it stops the running of WUs and won't resume them even though there's a message saying it resumed the processing. In order to get them running, we have to quit BOINC and then restart it. What I do now is disable the network connection until I make my own to the Internet. Then I let BOINC do its uploading, and I do the updates.

Have you waited awhile to see if it starts back up again? I saw something in the message groups about the program just waiting awhile before it restarts the actual processing.

It has gone for hours without the WUs resuming after connecting to upload. What I do now is disable the network connection and the WUs just crunch away. When I get a decent batch of finished WUs I dial-up and then enable the network connection. After the WUs are uploaded I update to get my credits. When done, I disable the network connection again and wait for the next batch of WUs to finish. Sometimes I will have to wait for downloads to finish too. If you should happen to stop BOINC or shut down the computer, the network connection is enabled by default when starting back up. Kind of frustrating, I believe it should remain disabled since I have the option to enable/disable. If I disable it, it should remain disabled until I re-enable it. [Any dev team members reading this?]

True but post count below your name and avator is correct. :-)
