    If this is so a lot of my WU's will not count in if they are clocked in at 2 to 3 day to run

    Validation is usually switched off, so don't look at that as the scores for the challenge. They are counted separate...

    if off, then how did they end up in the 'pending' queue ???? i know full validation is off, but basic is on, otherwise boinc could be cheated during one of these

    I'm not aware of any basic versus full validation. Pending is a standard boinc function where a wu goes into prior to validation. What they do at primegrid for challenges is separate from their validaion. As long as they don't go into error (which is client side) they get counted for the challenge. So you need to look at the challenge scores rather than the main scores to see what you have. Though they seem to be broken too at the moment!

    Well it's over. It was a pretty disappointing challenge without the stats. It could be a while before we even know how we did.

    Ya Me Too
    I can not figure out why they gave out WU's in a 2 day challenge that run for 80+ hrs
    ALL my nodes are still working on the first WU's I got Friday
    And I suspended about 12.000 hrs of WU's not started
    I only have 0.50 set for a work buffer

    I'm completely disappointed. This should be rescheduled and done again. They had internal problems (which we know happen from time to time) that completely invalidated the science portion. Resending WUs already crunched or WUs from other sub-projects also was not cool, nor was losing WUs and having me 'recrunch' them was not good. I requested, on their board, given the problems which were beyond their control or ability to correct that staff, admins, and management consider a complete 'resched' from lessons learned.
    Now, to get back to normal would be nice. It's going to take me a few days to recover and that means a HUGE loss of productivity.

    I would consider this one very much a wreck.
