This yielded �computation errors� and termination of the active tasks at the client. But seemingly, the server did not recognise this situation (I tried �update� and �reset� of the project), and the tasks are still �in progress� on the website. As the deadlines are not before March 2016, I'd suggest to cancel the following tasks (and delete this post afterwards), as there is no result to be expected from them: http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=18307888 http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=18307886 http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=18303368 http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=18075315 http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=18072419 (This corresponds to the following work unit IDs: http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=9672844 http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=9678373 http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=9674126 http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=9678983 http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=9676131) Regards from Vienna/Austria Matthew ID: 51952 · Reply Quote

They will just have to time out. The lost tasks will show as �in progress� until that time. This is not unusual. ID: 51953 · Reply Quote

Then, you add the project back after a few minutes (check the webpage to make sure the workunits are really gone). ID: 51963 · Reply Quote

Interruptions during the communications or something. I never got the files but the server still thinks it sent them to me. I have tried everything I could think of to clear them on my end, including the suggested deleting ad re-adding the project...It didn't help. As to what to do, I can concur with JIM and geophi. I have 6 tasks from February (due to expire on 29 May 2015). So yes I am waiting for them to time out (actually, I am simply ignoring them), and I have gotten many tasks since then. Anyways, it was a bad batch of shorts, so I doubt CPDN cares about them either. ID: 51977 · Reply Quote
