I have been using Boinc for about a week and my results are stuck on 183 or so ( whatever that means) I have seen about 7 new assignments go through processing but there is no increase in my credit.
On top of the long wait to get work to process, this is pretty annoying. The Boinc process is using 3.08 (same as the regular Seti@Home stuff)
Also, the login page has a check box to save my login ID. Doesn't work. Another annoying thing.
I have to say that I am not sure I want to continue supporting SETI@home with so many problems and so little information about what is going on. You have to tell us why we are being shut out and not allowed to participate.

Be patient. The servers have been in yo-yo mode for the past week or so and little or no WUs have gone out until recently. The WUs you uploaded in the meantime have to be validated by two other systems before you get credit. If your WUs weren't reissued until recently, it will be a while before other users can send them back so you all can get credit.

Your ID is most likely stored in a cookie. Check how your browser handles cookies. Some browsers have the option/ability to force cookies to expire immediately. If yours is doing this, the cookie with your saved ID will disappear when you shutdown your browser and it won't be there the next time you login.

It can take several weeks for credit to be granted because two other hosts also need to complete the WU, and their results must match yours.

And it's just coincidence that the current S@H/BOINC project application is the same as S@H classic. (3.08) It's not actually the same processing engine.

this is normal. it can take up to a month to get credit for your wu's.

you or your browser is likely erasing the cookie storing your info. nmaybe you have a spam filter or spyware checker and it would pick up the cookie.

read the page below for info
