	We upgraded the server software - if WU distribution, reporting, etc. is confirmed to work correctly, on Monday we will update the web pages. As a first consequence of the upgrade, you should be receiving "notifications" in your BOINC clients.

	Minor changes in credit scheme, no problem. However I am missing the column "granted credit" as it would be difficult to expain to new member time bonus system.

	Scott: probably it was a short offline interval, I was fixing stuff at that time Nenym: quite possible. which page are you referring to? Ftpd: there are few LONG WUs right now (should not be related to the server change, I'll check). But normal WUs should download correctly.

	You are right, Richard, sorry. The "claimed credit" column - not granted as I have written before - is missing in both pages (as in any server, upgrated to CreditNew), it's credit scheme doesn't use benchmark anymore.

	the last wu from before the upgrade finished and uploaded, so that is 2 successful uploads post upgrade several hours of requesting wu and getting none then just now i got 2 "long run" wu they say long run in the name, but the remining time shows as 1:56:30 on both wu that would be amazing for my gtx260-216 could just be that the "correction factor" has been reset??? we shall see scott aka bmwr606, user id 11786

	BTW, NATHAN_FA5 was 32,093.45 credits before the upgrade, now it's 31,500. The others have been rounded up, so TONI_SH2MS3 is changed from 37,485.89 to 37,500, and GIANNI_KKFREE5 is changed from 67,498.11 to 67,500. This is not a significant change, but much easier for humans to read, and spot if a workunit didn't finished in time to receive the +50% or the +25% bonus. Based on these numbers, NATHAN_FA5 should worth 32,100 credits.

	I will post explanations on credits later. In general, they have been rounded, but that's mostly for cosmetic reasons. If you prefer we can go back (in the long run) to the small coins. Fast return bonuses are exactly like before, so FA5 (as an example) are worth 31500 - within 1d 26250 - within 2d 21000 - later than 2d Please be patient with trivial credit changes because there is people not receiving WUs, which needs to be debugged fast.

	I've had to reset the project to get a WU. Without the reset, I got the "no tasks available" messages for both short and long WU. So it's worth a try to reset the project if you still don't get any WUs
