I had an unrecoverable system crash in April which means that there are three tasks associated with that computer which show up under my account as "In progress".

Is this the best board to report this?

I have suffered the same issue in the past. From memory when it has come up before the answer has been to just wait till the tasks time out. Your three tasks if re-instated would be relatively insignificant alongside all those where no attempt is made to report that they won't ever be finishing.

This is very different of course on projects such as climate@home which is in alpha or if beta testing for a project when three tasks might make up over half a batch.
