Well, you have to understand that the boyz are not always available 24/7.....and they might be busy doing other things when problems arise..... And, there might not be a real problem at this time other than the high traffic caused by a lot of hosts trying to contact the servers after the longer than usual outage for OS upgrading today........ I have hope that it will clear up before morning......a few things are getting through. One of my rigs got through a few minutes ago......another has not been able to report results for many hours...... It will sort itself, or they will sort it tomorrow.......the crunching goes on..... ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty."

	I'm sorry but I don't buy that. There is never anything on the front page. Mabye the day after the problem is fixed, they write something. I'm pretty shure they can put something there remote if they wanted to. ____________ /TB

	It's the total lack of information during the time there is some problem that annoys me. They just don't care if we now what is wrong or not. It never is any information to be found, just a lot of speculation. ____________ /TB

It never is any information to be found, just a lot of speculation. It goes back to lack of money and staff, So they do what they can. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page

It never is any information to be found, just a lot of speculation. Well...... I am not belittling your frustration...... I would love 24/7 uptime with unlimited bandwidth too.....and get a little frustrated when my best cruncher has 127 completed WUs to report and cannot get through so I can see the results. But I have been through this so many times before and now realize it is just all part of the project and what it takes to keep it running at all on the shoestring budget and limited personnel they have....... Try bookmarking and keeping an eye on both the Cricket Graph and the Scarecrow Graphs..... After you know what they usually are reporting, you will be able to see some indications when things are not working right, even if there is no front page news or technical news reported here at the time..........and also read Matt's posts in the technical news forum.......he very often gives information about troubles they are having that do not have to be updated hourly...... ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you.

	And the Frozen Penny just got through finally and was able to report 130 completed WUs......so things are still getting through...........just take a little patience......LOL. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you.

	So not spending 1 minute writing something on the front page is because of lack of funding? I'm sorry but I don't buy that. ____________ /TB

	in the same page is server status, it is easier just check from there if something is wrong, no need to write anything

	Any time the servers are off, including Tues maintenance period, check cricket graphs then assume comms are going to be difficult for the next 1.5 to 2 times that off period. i.e. dont expect it to get back to normal before 09:00 Berkeley time Wednesday. If it's still kaput then hopefully someone will be arriving soon to give it some TLC or a quick kick with a size 11 boot, depending on mood, which will depend on road traffic behavior and supply of favorite beverage.

	Yes I know how to check the server startus page. But that is not my point. My point is that none of the administrators bothers to spend 1 minute writing what is wronfg and when it is expected to be fixed. Is that asking to much? ____________ /TB

	i rather hope that they are fixing the problem as fast as possible, no coffee breaks nor wasted times writing that we donÂ´t know yet when this is fixed, and no lunch hours neither
