Is anyone else having problems posting to the boards at E@H? If I try to reply to a post I'm confronted with the message: "Unable to handle request. In order to reply to a post in you must have a certain amount of credit. This is to prevent and protect against abuse of the system."
I'm guessing this is to stop spammers signing up and posting without ever properly participating in the project, but I've got 8301.51 credit at E@H, how much do I need? (And where is that shown on their website?)
I have got a very low RAC at E@H because I haven't returned a WU recently (they have been having issues with the app running slowly on AMD hosts), but the message just mentions "credit" not RAC.
(I can't ask about this at E@H because if I try to start a new thread there to ask about this, I get the same message!)

I think that the key is the Rac (> 0 ?) and not the credit.
Even if your Rac = 0, usually you can post in the Help Desk forum.




Do you want to get banned for 31 years, your account and credits deleted at a Boinc project ? Predictor@home is your best choice.

Thanks Nightbird. My RAC is 0.21 according to BoincManager, and 0.18 according to the E@H website, so > 0 but < 1 (which might be where the issue arises, if the RAC checking code assumes <1 = 0)

I've managed to post in the Help Desk forum at E@H, so hopefully someone there will be able to confirm / deny that the issue is my low RAC.
