Lost results in "Results for user" Page

Topic 188567
(moderation:
My "Results for user" page has lost several (6)entries.
The "Computer summary" page has 943.09 Total Credit.
"Results for computer" has only 4 granted credit results. Older results seem to have been dropped.
Have I been robbed ?
Or does the server have a hole in it somewhere ?:)

Results are Automatically dropped from your account I think after 1 or 2 weeks after they have been Validated and Granted Credit. You don't lose the Credit either ...

Bruce, shouldn't that question go into the FAQ?
Ok, thanks to all

I understand that old results that are over disappear, but what about pending credit? I had a workunit going back to March 3rd that disappeared from my results page, as well as my pending credit page. After a bunch of client errors and no responses for other computers, it just ended up sitting there for the longest time. Now I just looked and it's "gone off my radar," so to speak. Doesn't even appear to be counting it into the tally of pending credit. I read the FAQ and it DOES say to just be patient and it will be counted eventually, but it also says "The fact that you have pending credit proves that you have completed a result within the deadline." That's not the case now, though. Is it just hidden now?

It is the case now. You still did complete the result within the deadline. What would have happened is that eventually a quorum was formed for that pending result and the credit would have been awarded. One week after the quorum was formed, this particular workunit would have been removed from the database. I believe the expiry is one week after the result is finally validated.
I've just checked my own oldest "pending". It was sent to me on March 08, completed by me on March 09 and is right down the bottom of the results list for that computer. There is another old result still there as well, with basically the same dates. That other result was sent to me on March 09, completeted by me on March 10 and was due to expire (for me) on March 16. The quorum wasn't formed until March 17 when the third result finally arrived. All three of us were credited on March 17 and that was past my deadline. I expect this result will "drop off my radar" around March 24, which I expect will be before my old "pending" which will live on beyond at least March 27.
I have no evidence to suggest that I'm being cheated of pending credit.
Cheers,
Gary.
