My team just took a 24K+ hit in the stats and everyone on the team lost ground also. Scotland's Seti.

I also submitted about 6 trickles on Nov 2oth and only got credit for 1. Kinda strange because they were all submitted at the same time. Problems fellas???????

Also, I switched from 4.09 to 4.13 and the model I was working on hung. Had to reset the project. You guys should really test this stuff before throwing it to the wolves.

It seems OK to me, you may have noticed a decrease in overall credits because there was an old bug that I recalculated for (a lot of machines were getting "extra" unearned credit). Also the trickles seem to count, a simple calculation is 0.00875 * (259248 * (1-phase)) * timestep = your credits for the result

so on result 387761 that would be .00875 * 118822 = 1039.69 which is what you have in "granted credit" for this result.

PS -- I did discover that the stats haven't been running properly over the past few days, they should be OK now.

Not really fixed yet. There are full runs with 6805.26 while others have 5444.21

edit :

<a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_user.php?userid=22513">This</a> is an example for the wrong index that I mentioned in some other post, all results that came in on 20 Nov are sorted upside down. (just saw it by chance)

And I think there will always be. Those runs that finished before Carl upped the credits per trickle will always have 5444 while later ones will be 6805. It wasn't retroactive. He upped them to be more in line with the other projects who had upped theirs, apparently. I don't know if the other projects upping was retroactive or not.

I misunderstood the "recalculated" part then.
