Seems that they are not showing (past three days). Normally, I\'ve seen a news update explaining this. While news/announcements has had a few posts in the last few days, I\'ve seen nothing this time regarding this.

I\'ve not seen any problems with mine right up to the last lot a few hours ago.
Have to wait for other people to post, but it may be at your end.

I see the same as BarryAZ : the trickles are recorded into Task Details, but have not added to Account Total Credits for the last three days.

Patience is a virtue, I\'ve heard. Certainly, patience is a virtue in CPDN because we have an overworked staff of two. Servers, too, are over-burdened, not least because everything we\'ve successfully done over the past five years is available online to climate researchers, worldwide.

And, it is a weekend, after all . . .

Personally, I take much greater satisfaction in knowing that my efforts might contribute positively to research and understanding of the great problems future generations face than interrupted valueless credits.

CPDN credits have ALWAYS been sorted, even if it takes days. PATIENCE, please!


Thanks, Barry and Kimegi, for your continuing support of CPDN.

My next batch of trickles, uploaded an hour and a quarter ago, are now showing.

And it\'s important to remember that trickles ARE NOT credits.
You need to ask PRECISELY which of these you mean.

The credits program only runs once per day, it\'s been running OK for some time now, and is next due in 2-3 hours. Approximately.

I\'ll check then to see if total credits does update.

EDIT
BOINCstats shows that there wasn\'t any credits export 24 hours ago, and the day before that is masked (at least on mine), by the subtraction of my beta test credits, as Tolu struggles with the fiddle to allow the server code to also show credits from beta.
3 days ago, BOINCstats shows that I received my \'normal\' amount of credits.

25 hours until the next BOINCstats update.

OK, it looks like one of the programs isn\'t running. It may have been stopped while Tolu was working on the beta to cpdn credits transfer, and not re-started.
All of the mods are working on beta test models, so our credits have been going up and down, making it hard to see any other problems.

I\'ll tell Tolu.

The server status page shows two of the upload servers down (uploadcomlab and uploadatm). One of these showed red as down late last night but I didn\'t say anything in the news thread because the red is sometimes spurious, particularly in the case of the upload servers, and shows even when a server is working perfectly.

If your trickle-ups are not getting to Oxford because the upload server they\'re assigned to is down, you\'ll know because your Boinc manager messages won\'t include the line \'Scheduler request succeeded\' and Boinc will try repeatedly to upload the trickle. If this happens to your trickles, please suspend network activity for the time being.

(Apologies for explaining the basics to very experienced crunchers. It\'s in case newbies are also reading the thread.)

Thanks, Mo. I\'d noted the servers were down, but zero HADCM3\'s available for download came as a bit of a surprise . . . . !

The team has been trying to get the Beta2 credit moved to here, and its been a rough time. They will work out out.

As others said, patience.

We\'ll check that Milo and Tolu know about the lack of HADCMs for download.

Milo says that one server was really down and is now fixed. The other showed as down spuriously.

He\'ll check on the CPDN credits export to the stats sites on Monday.

I think an update in the news threads would be useful as there are several things that could be puzzling for members.
