When starting the project of S@H2, the WU's' mentioned as already processed with S@H1was a snapshot of the state beginning May this year.
I was told when starting the S@H2 that these numbers should be updated once S@H1 is definitely closed. At that moment the real state of processed WU's should be transferred.

The data about S@H1 is not live. It was taken in a snapshot in mid May. It may or may not be updated again after S@H1 is stopped.

BTW, this is really bogus, in that the snapshot was done over a month before BOINC/SETI went live, with no forewarning, and if you'd not updated your email for seti in a few months (there was no reason to), your acct doesn't move over at all!

It's called poor (or no) planning on the BOINC end......

Hey, they needed that 3Q grant money, so "screw the user base"!

1/2 of a solution. What about the users that joined classic after may 15? They lose everything, as they've had to create a "new" boinc account!
