1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Six years worth of work units vanished (Message 57206)

I looked at my Boinc Manager Projects tab yesterday and found that, rather than the 3 million plus work units I'd accumulated over the past six or so years, my accumulated units now show as zero; they've not returned today. I'm assuming this is some sort of glitch, and that those work units have not been somehow retroactively declared as invalid and thrown out. The accumulated score is not the primary reason I'm leaving my machine on and contributing cycles, but it gives one pause, particularly when there are other legitimate Boinc projects that seem less iffy in terms of what's going on.

I've had a similar issue, tasks that take 4 to 7 days to complete advancing to 100% and then disappearing, with no increment reported to the work done counter on Boinc's Projects tab. I "worry" about this in the sense of not wanting to waste the cycles I'm donating. If they're going to accomplishing useful work, great. If not, and I just can't tell, I'd just as soon donate the spare cycles to other Boinc projects that I support. Any idea if the reporting function will be fixed? Or when?
