my synopsis of the thread is
many unhappy people
poor implementation
no solution yet

would be nice to get a firm idea of when this is going to be solved

btw, in terms of personal interest have
1 machine totally dry, reached daily limit of 111 (quad with gtx295)
1 about to go dry, reached daily of 118 (quad with 9800)
1 a bit further out but will go dry in 5-7 days (quad with gtx295)
all running optimised apps

:)

You are damned right there are unhappy people - me, for one.
These folks implemented serious changes on the server side with NO warning, and no explanation of what they were supposed to do. And the changes don't seem to work at all, and they haven't acknowledged it or rolled back to the last working server side.

I have 2 machines which have gotten only a handful of MB WUs in the past 8 days, with lots of bogus error messages, as many of you have(n't). They are running dry (one went dry 3-4 days ago, except for AP). And in the future are we to be limited to 100 WUs/day for each app, w/o regard to how powerful each machine is? Or what does the "Application Details" mean?

Any sane s/w op has some sort of doc of what changes are for (in writing, not in someone's head). And should publish them for comments, or, at least, so users will know what is going on. And i don't want to hear about how hard the folks at Berkeley work - I know that, and it is irrelevant. YOU DON'T SCREW AROUND WITH A PROJECT LIKE SETI WITHOUT HAVING A BACKUP PLAN - there are too many "customers" here, it's not a private project with a handful of users.

PLEASE, guys, rethink how you are doing this!!!!
