On Monday at 13:30 CET, the server will be upgraded the latest release. This will involve downtime since the data base will need to be upgraded. |

Hi, I am not sure if this related to the update but as of now all finished Atlas task get a "Validate error" as final result. This at least from three of my clients computers.I suspended all new tasks until this gets resolved. I saw some other crunchers also having Atlas tasks getting this "Validate error" as a result. This is one example. Hits file is produced successful. https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=431867641 |

In reply to Laurence's message of 26 Jan 2026: The upgrade has been done. Thanks for watching. Please let us know if you spot any issues.- Small problem: The text on the buttons is hard to see: white on light gray (Just like on the development system) - Added feature: BOINC version is added to Computer information after the first contact to the server |

The text on the button issue is a style sheets problems which will be corrected shortly. The ATLAS validator issue is more complex. |

Same. Also this dark mode is terrible to read. Is it possible to switch it somewhere? |

Invisible text on buttons can be shown by rightclicking on that button as a temporary solution. |

I see weird behavior from the server. I have 2 hosts, win10 with Boinc 7.16.5 and win11 with Boinc 8.0.2. The win11 host gets server replies that say that the project is temporarily shut down for maintenance and get deferred for 60 minutes. Also it cannot report any finished tasks (Theory and Atlas, upload does work) or get new tasks. The win10 host gets normal working replies from server with the 6 second deferral. It does still report and download tasks normally.
