Hi,
I was wondering why it is I can't participate on the message board. I get a message when trying to post or reply to a thread telling me I need a certain amount of credits to do so; I have over 300 now. I have been able to post a thread in the past..Can you help? Being abel to post questions on the message board was the reason I joined. SO I could actually get answers to some of my questions.

You need a RAC higher than 0 (I think it's 10) to be able to post there. So you need to be an active cruncher. As it says in the index: "The Einstein@Home message boards are for use by active project participants only"
A zero RAC shows you aren't active.

I've had my program running all the time except for the past two weeks. That would have been a total of nearly 7 months. How long do I need it to run for? Also, I've posted on here b4 w/o any problem.

According to your computers list, your last contact with Einstein was in May 2006.
That's a little longer than 2 weeks ago. You may have had BOINC running for all this time, except for the last two weeks, but whatever you were crunching, it wasn't Einstein. And this project doesn't care what big RAC you accumulate on other projects.
So check if you don't have Einstein on No New Work, or on Suspend.
You'll need to crunch, return the result and report it to get credit again. And thus RAC.
At that time you had a RAC (Recent Average Credit) of something higher than zero.
When you stop crunching, your RAC decays. It's halved every week. Once it reaches a number of 0.49 it's designated as zero RAC.
