I'm wondering why "we" haven't received credit for these units: (They are still marked "pending", although they have been completed long ago, sometimes by more than 3 people.)

Finished by 4 people before end of August
Finished by 3 people before end of August
Finished by 4 people before end of August
Finished by 3 people before end of August
Finished by 5 people before end of August
Finished by 4 people before end of August
Finished by 6 people before end of August
Finished by 6 people before end of August
Finished by 5 people before end of August
Finished by 4 people before end of August
Finished by 3 people before end of August
Finished by 3 people before end of August
Finished by 4 people before end of August
Finished by 6 people before end of August
Finished by 4 people before end of August
Finished by 4 people before mid-August
Finished by 3 people before end of August
Finished by 4 people before end of August
Finished by 3 people before mid-August
Finished by 3 people before August
Finished by 3 people before August
Finished by 3 people by mid-July
Finished by 3 people by mid-July
Finished by 3 people by mid-July

So, what's up??? The "Server Status" page says there are NO units waiting validation, yet these HAVE been processed by 3 or more people and are still "pending".

What are they "pending" for if not the validator???

Meaning? All three of us analyzed the WU and returned the results.
Even if those results were more than the project wanted or could
handle, that isn't any reason to deny us credit for our work.
(Actually, they aren't DENYING credit. They just haven't decided
what to do: they are marked "pending".)

And that's only the first of that list. The second in that list
(and most of the others) show NO errors at all in the 3 "SUCCESS"
returns. Yet, still no credit.

The results are sitting there; turn the validator loose on 'em!!

I think that you will find that many of us have this same situation. I believe that many of these credits were lost due to the problems we were having during that time period. The validator was behind and off much of the July/August time periods and then they had the DB problems. The quote below explains some of this issue and may be part or all of the problem with getting credits on these wu's. I have about 30 of these outstanding on my results but I don't expect these to ever change from pending to credits. Not all of mine but some do show a message that leads me to believe this work was and is lost forever. Many of these were sent back out but some were not as mentioned on one of our news updates. Message shows:

core_client_version-3.20
file transfer error: couldn't get input files:
25ap04aa.23553.12722.167344.52: file was not found on server

Error Result above

Never was sent back out but was in this time period

[b]August 25, 2004
A trio of splitters are now up and producing new work.
We plan to release major version 4 of BOINC and SETI@Home tomorrow.
A clarification about last week's fallback to an earlier DB state: all work that was uploaded during the period of August 13th to 18th was lost and so cannot be credited. As well, all work that was generated and downloaded during that period was lost to the DB and so cannot be credited. This work is being regenerated and redistributed.</B>
