I've been doing this SETI@home Multi-Beam thing but I never get any credit! So if (and only IF) you can't get credit on it, how can you get credit? I'd be really happy if someone answered! Thanks! Bye!

This is one I have not seen. I wonder if he got bitten by the recent DB crash. When you go to the account, there is a computer there. When you click on the computer to get details, the web complains that there is no computer with that ID.

Suggestion:

Edited out bad suggestion.

John, the 'no computer there' thing is because of the replica database being way, way behind. 102,731 seconds is 28.5 hours ...

There is only one way to get credit: report successful workunits that are validated by the Validator.

See Credit.

DB crash
The projects as several servers. Some have been giving problems lately. One of these keeps the Data base of users and the work that is assigned. It has been acting up and is not always up to date. Data is not usually lost since it is a replica copy of the main data base, but sometime the information is not available in real time or is dificult for us to access.
