Any ideas on this.? Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). ID: 1874915 ·

Credit paid at beta tends to be higher & more consistent, but here is where the actual work is being done. Personally I only switch over to Beta when there is something new to be tested. Once it's determined that the application is OK, or it needs more work, then I move back to here on main. Grant Darwin NT ID: 1874917 ·

I just set my "get new tasks" to Y and am crunching again. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). ID: 1875468 ·
