Message 16492 - Posted: 8 Oct 2005, 18:23:50 UTC

Half a year ago I had trouble communicating between client and server, and dropped out from doing processing. I\'ve now started participating again. I notice in my \"Results List\" that there are a LARGE number of WUs assigned to me from that time as \"In process\". I either never received those WUs, or else lost them completely at my end.

I WISH there was a way for me, from the __webpage__, to either \'recycle\' those WUs back to the \"generally assignable\" pool at the server; or else for me myself to RE-FETCH those WUs with my current client setup.

Data sets are marked for re-assignment by the server if there is no message from the model, (i.e. a trickle), for about 6 weeks.

So the models in your list may have been given to someone else by now.

What you say leads me to believe that CP was not held back by me being unable to work on these WUs.

But although CP __never__ received any trickles from me for these WUs, they are STILL shown as \"In process\" in my \'Results\' list. Why show them there, six months without trickles later, if they HAVE been re-assigned to someone else by now ?

This situation still makes me WISH that I could from the __webpage__ \'re-cycle\' WUs (for which NO trickles have ever been received by CP) to either myself or back to the CP pool. These never-handled-by-me WUs do NOT belong in my \"In process\" list.
