The stats export has not been working properly for more than 24 hours. It looks like the last successful export was about the same time that the server ran out of disk space, so the export process might have been stopped at that time and just needs to be restarted.

It's one way to guarantee that nobody will participate in your project, I guess...

Acknowledgement of a problem would be nice. Even a note saying that you're aware of the problem but don't know how to fix it yet would be acceptable.

Ignoring an obvious problem for more than 6 weeks makes it seem like the admins don't care, or aren't even paying attention to their project...

It looks like there is a VERY large range of possible credits for tasks in this project, and it doesn't seem to matter how long the task runs as I've seen high points for very short tasks and very low points for some long tasks, but in general it does look like longer tasks are getting more credits. I've been getting anywhere from 8 credits all the way up to 200 credits for tasks recently. And while most tasks have a 4.5-5 hour run time, I've seen quite a few recently with 2-2.5 hour run times. And I've even had a few that were validated successfully with run times as short as 10-15 minutes...

Long running tasks are not necessarily bad, if they are needed to perform the calculations properly. But they should give more credits, based on the longer run times.

And you really should add checkpoints so the tasks don't have to start over at 0% if they are paused or interrupted (computer reboot, for example).

fix, check please


It looks like the Captcha is working properly for new account creation now, thank you!

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work for new team creation.
10) Questions and Answers : Web site : Captcha doesn't work (Message 71)

Post:
Using a Captcha to prevent spammers is a good idea, but it currently does not work.

It always fails when creating a new account or a new team.
