Why is the 'new' credit system still erratic.

Post: Greetings all, I hope this is the correct posting area to place my questions concerning a small, strange problem I noticed with differences in my credit number reports. If not, I do apologise. On my SETI@home screen saver, it states, that as of now, I have a Total credit of 6821.28 so far, where as in my signature, the old data (as is displayed) has remained static and unchanged for days. {BTW, the data for the other three running programs are correct and do update.} I have not changed any of my settings since I began running SETI and I believe this situation began after the latest "controlled outage". Anyone have an idea as to the actual cause of the non-updating signature numbers? Perhaps a cure for this unimportant nuisance problem? Thanks in advance. |

Post: Greetings all, msattler, Oh yes. Once a month sans fail. One simply must clean the kitties inside & out or they get over heated and there's nothing worse than owning / dealing with an over heated, grouchy kitty. They bite and scratch you! :-) |

Post: The main goal today, should it go off successfully........ Great news msattler! Thanks! ". . . might be coming to an end. . . No promises there." If I have to update, reboot, and upgrade my PCs, plus open the cases just to dust and clean them out, I imagine the same things are going to be done with those. Plus keep in mind all of the "Murphy's Laws" and others , which also would apply, so I wouldn't promise anything either. :-) |

Post: I am now a whopping 56 years old (or young depending on internal status and external stimuli) and am able to join my town's Senior Citizens Center. . . . to sit in a corner, drinking decaf coffee, and molt or some such other thrilling activity. YIKES! :-) However, they actually do offer some interesting activities, which should prove to be fun and I'm sure there has to be a fellow mediocre Chess player mixed in there somewhere, whom I can beat once in a while. ;-) If I'm really lucky, the same person will also share an interest in astronomy and the space program as well! Free "Tai Chi" classes on Thursday mornings anyone? How about beginner's computing classes on Mondays? Bus rides to the Bronx Zoo? Oh, happy, happy, joy, joy. :-( So. . . . I may join, but as yet, I'm undecided. I've been undecided for a year! |

Post: I haven't seen any downloads in the past few days. Also completed tasks are not uploading. Any ideas? They really should feed and water their mice more often. Perhaps they would then continue to run on the tread mill more. :-) One thing which occurred here was, that I began crunching "AstroPulse" WUs for the very first time, during this controlled "outage". I was quite pleased, but this to has stopped as well. "BUMMER", but I think the outcome of the outage will improve future services, so in the long run, it's a good thing. |

Post: Hi @all, I would think, that IF such a dasterdly occurance of infection should happen, someone indeed WOULD BE "FIRST" out of the multitudes of users to get it. :-) To be serious, I agree, that this is only a case of a "false positive" finding of the user's installed anti-malware program. It's a very common problem, which scares the bejesus out of many PC owners when it happens, myself included. |
