New work

(moderation:
Is anyone able to obtain new work at this point in time? I noticed most or all of the main work generators were down, but the mirrow sites were up.
If the problem is on my end, would a reset possibly solve the problem? I have not recieved any new work for several and am curently working on my last unit.

New work

At least at my end new work flows normal.
But that "could" be a simple problem at your end because you crunch SETI too, as SETI is down you could have too many incompleate WU to DL/UL and the scheduler stop asking for new work because that. There are supose not to happens but happens in some hosts at least, dont have any ideia why. To solve that, just "suspend" your SETI project for some time (anyway until next tuesday SETI will be off at least), wait for E@H update (or manualy trigger the update) and the E@H work will be return to flow, of course if that is the problem. And don´t forget to restart the SETI after that or you will not be able to report/UL/DL any more SETI work.
Or your resource share at E@H could be at 0 (zero) so you will DL new E@H work only after the last one was finish and reported.

Where are you reading that? The first port of call, at this or any other project, would be the server status page linked from the project's front page. At the time of writing, that shows all except one of the Einstein workunit generators running, and work available and ready to send for two of the three application sub-types.
The only place where work isn't being generated is the 'Albert' test project - but that isn't the project you've joined or - presumably - asked about.
But in any event, you seen to have got the 48 seconds of work you needed, as we can see from your server log.
Thanks Juan. How in the heck

Thanks Juan. How in the heck did you know I was running SETI? I had already done as you suggested and suspened SETI (down to my last work unit there as well)
Since I ran E@H for 2 or 3 years in the past I should know how it's done, but how do you ",manually trigger" an update? I've tried the update button with no success. Also, although I really don't care all that much about "credit points", I still would like to be able to include credits for work I did 3 or 4 years ago in my totals if it were possible. Was running E@H on 7 or 8 machines and worked my way into the top 2% but the download times with a dialup connection became overwhelming and stopped crunching anything until recently and only plan to use my 2 fastest machines.
I think I can recall my user ID and password, but not my ID number.
thanks,

If you click on anybody´s name (try on my for example) you will see the member info and in what projects he is attached.
Since i have the same problems few days ago in some of my host (2 of 9) i imagine it will be helpfull if i share my solution and that could help to fix your problem.
Happy that works, share of information and fixes are one of the most important things you could get from the forums.
About manualy update, just go to the Boincmgr and click on the project, the update buttom will show at the left, then just click on it, but take some caution, E@H takes 1 minute of delay to get new work, SETI have 5, so repeately the click within those limit just waste your time.
About you old WU i don´t know how to do, sure Richard will help you with that.
Have a good day.
ID numbers are not

ID numbers are not important.
You can work from an old email address - either by remembering the password you used at Einstein, or - if you can still receive email on that account - by asking for the password to be emailed back to you.
Alternatively, if you have an old computer which has run work for Einstein at any time in the past, you can recover your authenticator from that machine and use it to log in to your old account.
Full details of both methods are on the Forgot your account info? page.
Once you have access to both accounts, you have to choose which one of them to use. They can't be merged.
