Yesterday after merging computers on the new host id (1001457), everything looks fine. (host credit: 2629132). The machine (SH23) is the same as our old s23.gigalan.activanos.local.
Today host credits are lost. And all the WU history too!
Our total credit is (still) OK. But the tasks history is lost!
As this machine is \"sponsorised\", it is very important that the credit allocated to this machine is OK.
Best Regards.
Daniel

If you\'ve been following the News thread, you\'ll know that part of the recent alterations to the project is to archive results more than a year old, after making a record of the credits earned.
This is to speed up daily credit calculations, which seems to be working.

In the Computing and credit section of your Account page you\'ll find a new entry: Archived results (not shown, but credit included), which should be self explanatory.

I think that credits listed for each host is now only for the WUs still listed. The rest has been archived, as above.

True for WU history.
Not true for the credit on the 2 other machines. And curiously after merging the credit was OK during few hours/ may be one day.
Loosing our ranking for our most powerfull machine is a very serious problem for us.
I hope they will fix it.
Best Regards.

The best of all.
Our quad opteron (old name s23.gigalan.activanos.local; host ID 106982) that was merged yesterday is alive again in the stats as \"anonymous\" created 5 feb 2005!!! with its credits (1,646,436).... see Top Host...
I suppose the other machines are \"anonymous\" ones too....

Transaction for merging had fail and DB was not reverted to the original state...

Best Regards.
