Could not post to Cruncher's corner

(moderation:
I've done it before - now it says I don't have enough credit. I should...see my signature graphic. Maybe this is why I get no WUs anymore. I request them and it sez: "not reporting or requesting tasks".
Cache=6 days, WUs in the cache=2.5 days.

It's not credit you need, but a RAC (Recent Average Credit) of one or higher. Those forums are for active participants only. So if you want to post there, you'll have to crunch Einstein.
"Not requesting or reporting tasks" means you either have Einstein set to No New Tasks, to Suspend or you are running other projects as well and Einstein has just got a lot of debt towards those other projects. The debt is paid back towards those projects before Einstein requests work again.
Simply tested:
BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Projects tab. Look up Einstein@Home and check the Status column. If it says "Suspended by user", select Einstein, look to the menu on the left and click "Resume".
If it says "Won't get new tasks", select Einstein, look to the menu on the left and click "Allow new tasks".
These buttons show an option, not the state they are in.
If that doesn't fix it, it may be that there are tasks suspended in your Tasks tab. Check if there are Einstein tasks in the tab and see if their status is "Suspended by user". If there is one (or more) select them and click the "Resume" button on the menu on the left.
If even that doesn't fix it, go back to the Projects tab, select Einstein, click Reset and confirm. This will reset the project, delete all the applications and work in progress. It'll make you download the applications again, but a reset will also reset your debt.

It's not about absolute credits but about recent average credit (RAC), and that is zero at Einstein@home if you look at the box to the left of your message.
Nope, that's not the reason.
That's probably a debt problem. BOINC 6.2.28 is known to cause such after upgrading. If you want to reset the debt values to zero, there's a cc_config option now for doing that:
More information about cc_config.xml you can find here.

PS: I know I'm late again, but I post it nevertheless :-)
PPS: @Jord: Neal has no Einstein tasks listed, so it's probably a debt issue.

Thanx. The "reset" did it.
