Message 23893 - Posted: 24 Mar 2009, 23:46:35 UTC

I just noticed something strange...I was checking out the WCG website, a noticed that I had 301,114 credits, but when I looked at Boinc I only have 43,016 credits.

Something has gone wrong somewhere...I just need to know where & how to fix it.

You sure they aren't points? As then you'd have to divide that number by 7.

It's something that was kept from the days before WCG started using BOINC. At that time the UD Agent counted in points. The full explanation can be found on the WCG forums, though, in one of their FAQ threads.
