last week I checked my results page and found i had 16 or thereabouts results. Today I checked and there are only 8!! My credit total is on the increase and at 3548.2 cannot be accounted for by the 8 i see today, nor by the 16 i saw last week.

I have looked at other peoples result pages and some have well over 50 results.

What is happening to my results, am I losing them or are they wiped off the system in a leaky bucket type way over a period of time?

Results for which credit has been given are wiped out after a short time in order to keep the database as small
as possible.

Have a look at the Technical News
Look if your question is not answered at the Boinc Wiki

As Therry stated, the online results are cleared. The master database still keeps a copy of the WU information. So the data is not lost, just the online database keeps from growing out of hand, and us waiting forever for web pages to load, etc.
