I completed and returned this on 2/25/05 yet project results are stating that there was no reply. Text is in red.

I am 10 or 12 units past this 1 at this time

Are you sure you "completed" it. It shows as 0.00 cpu time in your list of results. I think you will find it is a "phantom" WU like others have been talking about recently in these lists. It is basically an entry in a results list with no attached actual work and it eventually expires without costing you any lost time.

I've got one in my own results list going through at the moment. I don't believe you can get rid of it easily and the word is to ignore it. How do I know I've got one? Well there's always one extra green "In Progress" entry compared with the actual units of work as shown under Boinc's "Work" Tab. I expect it'll turn red when it expires and no cpu time is being wasted on it.

Cheers,
Gary.

I have seen others mention phantom WU's and unfortunately I do not see anywhere in BOINC where WU's are logged so I have something to refer to on my end. and there are 2 or 3 others in the same timeframe that are still pending. Guess I'll find out about those tomorrow as they are due to expire on the 5th.

Some of the addon viewers do log the results. BOINCView for example (http://boincview.amanheis.de)/
