When I upload a result, and check the "Results for user" in the "Your account" section, the status of the uploaded unit indicates that the result hasn't been received. If I afterwards send the "Update" method from my client to the server, the results page is updated, and the uploaded result is indicated as being received.

I have older BOINC and Seti clients (4.19 and 4.07).

The Server status page says that:
"scheduler: Determines what work is going to be sent to/received from requesting clients. Clients go to the scheduler first to request work, and the scheduler tells the client what to get and where to get it. If this is off, you cannot get any new work. After a client sends a result back, it then contacts the scheduler which then marks it as received."

So the scheduler _should_ be contacted after an upload of results, and update the status.

Is this due to my old clients; will an upgrade correct this?

The uploaded results on the web site will updated, if you download a WU.
So you see your uploads after a download.

Well, yes - but which upload/download? My next contact with the server could be in 3 months...

My uploads tend to finish before my downloads if they are initiated at the same time, so I have to contact the server manually in order to get to see my uploaded result, or wait for the next upload, download, automatic update or whatever.

But that's silly. There's no new info to be added to the uploaded WU, just a little flag that has to be set on the server, indicating a completed upload.
Why isn't this flag set when the upload is finished?
