My apologies for leaving the crew adrift for so long with broken forums, and who knows what else. Here's the short story:

You may recall that back in November the server we had used for many years had a disk failure. At the time, I had just acquired an old spare PC that was twice as fast and half as noisy (still old crap, mind you) and so instead of just replacing the drive I moved everything to the "new" server. Which caused some trouble, but we made it through that.

Sometime around the end of January I got an impassioned plea to return that hardware to the person who had given it to me. It was easier to do so than argue, and I had to do it quickly. So I moved our project to another machine, even better than the other two, which had in a past life been a PVR project. The bad news is that I had no time to fix whatever broke in the process, which it seems included the forums.

So here we are 6 weeks later and I finally got a little time and I found the problem (some database code that needed updating). I seem to have the forums fixed, but who knows what else is broken?

So please take a look around, and report in this thread what else needs to be fixed. I'll get to it when I can do so, and we will try to get this leaky bucket lurching forward again under it's own steam.

One thing I'm seeing is that all forum posts and threads are considered to be new and unread. Pushing the "mark all threads as unread" button in the top-level of the message boards does not fix this. But it does seem to mark the posts as read once you read the forum. I will see if I can find the cause, and the fix...

Please make sure to run the script to depreciate the RAC.

Thanks.

I have to be the guy to ask - do you expect to have new work? Ever?

I remember running this project years ago (or whenever it was I joined BOINC). Or is there just not that much to test nowadays?

Pirates of Penn's Forest...arrrr, aight?

Currently this is a "fun" project and all work done on it does nothing. Captain Wormholio inserts work every now and then, but his life is busy with other things (family and such). We usually get work near September 19th (talk like a Pirate day) each year, plus maybe one or two times in between when time permits.

I am happy when there is work, but I also understand life can get in the way.

Arrr, let's be havin' the christmas tree application for a few days me hearties!

Cheers,

Al.

yarr, any news on the new work ?
