Same here. With the batch beginning on the 29th at 10:46:00 UTC, the first two units were under 10 sec and reported fine (.03 credit each), the next looked normal and granted me 5.75 credit, but everything after that (20 tasks) were all \"client error\". They came from a few different machines.

If no one got credit, I guess I need to be fine with that, but being a latecomer to LHC@home not knowing it was around, (but having awaited the real thing for many years), I don\'t need someone chasing my tail on stats because they got lucky :-)

It would also be nice when posting if the text did not fall off into an invisible area !

I think that they were mostly test work units, so no one got much credit.

Yup. And avatars don\'t work. And I still have pending credits from half a year ago.

That makes three things to fix in addition to fixing the failing work units.

Sorry we\'ve been busy, the wjuly_lhcboind set of WUs are only working something like 1 in 15 attempts. We have no idea why, they are mostly test units and the reason you\'re seeing so many is why are trying to debug. It is melting heads at the moment but all the real work was getting done and passed back to the scientists.

The 6.X issue is to do with the graphics so we need to recompile the executables and since we\'re doing that the scientists are doing some other work to the executable.
