    I came home and turned them on about 2:00 pm
    Then I went back to work. Later when I came back I saw the nodes had no work
    Found out I was working a Old project
    updated my account and all my nodes, all is working now

    You know me I am stupid on details and I am a slow starter but I get up to speed fast

    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!
