hi everyone,
i have a question related to the display of tasks.
specifically the time it takes for task errors to go away.

some might recall i had a lot of tasks show in error due to issues i had before.
most were aborted tasks, which all but 2 have cleared up now.(was more than 10)
they are also the original first 2 i had trouble with back in January.
they dont seem to be in much of a hurry to go away. (like all the others did)

im just wondering if there is anything i can do to get them cleared.
or if its just a waiting game.
thanks.

One is an AP task which is waiting validation but as the AP database is down I assume it will be a long wait.

The other is waiting for the task to be finished by the other wingman, which doesn't look to good as the machine hasn't made contact since it downloaded the task on the 30th Jan. It will expire on the 24th March and then be re-issued.

So you will have a bit of a wait yet!!

ok i wasn't sure if it was just a waiting game,
or if there was an actual system problem as a cause.

thanks Bernie.

i just noticed the AP task finally went away.
It was playing now you see me, now you dont for a while. then when i saw matt's post about AP's up again and i saw the AP task i had was gone finally.

i still have 1 sitting there (the cuda task)
but like you said it could be a while before it goes away.
