This series crunches just fine for me, no errors at all, proper credits issued. No reason not to like them!!



G'Day Beau,
Yes nearly all mine also process OK and I can like them. It is an annoying few that we manage to catch (due to the almost instant database purge) that we are talking about.
As you would most likely not be able to see all your work units that get processed, you may not be aware of how many are not getting credit, just as we are not really sure how many fail as they are purged before we can see them.

But as reported a lot have been seen and we are trying to alert the project about it, seeing as they are all from the same WU series.

Message 31159 - Posted: 19 Sep 2009, 4:29:14 UTC

Got a message that the WU report was .03 days overdue and that I may not get credit for it and that I should consider aborting it. That's only 43 minutes. Because of family matters my computer was turned off all day today. Anyway the system is running and the WU will be finished in a few minutes.

And do you really think I give two hoots in a hurricane about doing this for credit? You can go jump in the lake and stay there! I will continue to make my system available, as I can, to this project and the two others I am running.

Keep up the good work and take care,

Carmine

If you turn in a task late, but soon enough the resend hasn't came back yet I believe you should get credit. If you aren't already doing so I would recommend using an optimized app. They greatly speed up the tasks. If you need help many here will do so.
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.
