14 completed WU, no credit

(moderation:
I'm running 5 machines with E@Home, all but one of them are working fine.. the other one(amd64, winxp) has completed 14 WU and has received no credit.. I've checked the status of them all and they're all in a Validate State of 'Initial'
I realize there's a delay between finishing a WU and actually getting credit after it's been checked against other completed WU's, but it's been 7 days since the first one..
WU's listed below:
1231533
1231538
1256448
1310703
1335358
1341724

you probably was not able to deliver results during 7 days from getting your WUs
if you report after 7 days dead-line you do not get credit (not always so but in most cases)

no.. they delivered just fine.. if you looked at the stats for the WUs I listed, you'd see that

I've only checked this two. On the first you are one of two crunchers, that has delivered a result in time. two others have passed the deadline, two more are waiting to be sent ATM.
On the second you are the first to return a result.
Three valids are needed to get credit. If people do not sent their results back in time, you only can relax and wait ;)
The longest wait for a granted credit @Seti for me was something about 2 month, twice the deadline run out befor the quorum was reached.
So:
Patience is a virtue!

Hi
I'm waiting for patiently for the over 1K credit pending to fall into my account.
However, what happens if no one else evers finishing crunching the data?
Has this ever happened?
Thanks!

IF a WU is sent to a host and
)
IF a WU is sent to a host and that host does not return the result within the deadline (currently 7 days from time of sending to BOINC client) that workunit is resent to another host. If the second host then fails to return the result within its deadline then it will be sent to yet another host and so on. IT is very unlikely that all of thsese hosts will fail to return the result - they will get returned eventually. It just means you may have to wait a little while before you get credit for your work done.

I also have an AMD64 running XP and have a similar problem with about 14 WU's waiting on credit...
Here are a couple:
1488730
1470917
1470909
And in all of those my machine has a successful outcome with pending credit.
And my machine was the only one which received the WU to start with. That WU hasn't been sent to any other machine yet. It still says "unsent" to all other work unit Result ID's...
Maybe the AMD64's take the WU's from the end rather than the beginning of uncompleted WU's "pile"?

I have 13 completed work

I have 13 completed work units since and on Feb 26 that have not been sent to any other computer as yet. I'm running an Athlon XP2700. It somehow seems to be a problem with the faster machines.
Or maybe it isn't a problem

Or maybe it isn't a problem with any of the PCs out there, but just with all of your patience?
They aren't going to have too

They aren't going to have too many comfirmed work units unless they send them out to more than one computer.
Maybe not, but if you just

Maybe not, but if you just had a little patience, waited 14 days at minimum before you started to check your WUs and their results, you'd see a lot less of this behaviour. With the deadline being 7 days, you wait a week extra in case the unit gets resent to another computer.
Not just hack into your list the day after you crunched, sent and reported 14 units and expect them all to have been credited already. What with the bugs still floating around, you may just as well have been crunching zero credit units that they just now keep to the side.
