Hello!

I have finished this work unit recently:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=367437

Right after upload, I've been given 10000 points fine(the client was showing 16500+ points).
But when I checked the website the next day, I saw that I have just about 6900 points! I pressed "Update" in the client, and the points value dropped there too, from 16500 to 6900!

This is my stats page:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_user.php?userid=2600

Why I was at first given points for the WU correctly, but then these points were removed? I've been processing this single unit for more than 2 months, and of course would like to receive a fair points reward for all this cpu-time.

You receive points for the trickles as you go along. There should not be any bonus at the end. Unfortunately there was a bug giving bonus points at the end on the model that was difficult to track down so instead a correction routine is run to remove the spurious bonus points. This seems to be what you have seen.
