Validation problem with All Sky GW tasks?

(moderation:
I'm seeing a problem that makes no sense to me. I started running the All Sky GW app about a week ago and for a few days everything was normal. Then credit slowed way down and the number of "valid" results on the task page dropped like a rock while pending just got bigger. I verified the machine is still cranking out about 200 units a day but what is going on? Why would valid results that have only been posted for a few days just go away and why is everything now pending?
In just 24 hours this happened:
Tasks for computer 13147532
All (1192) All (1489)
In progress (40) In progress (39)
Pending (804) Pending (1261)
Valid (305) Valid (130)
Invalid (4) Invalid (4)
Error (39) Error (55)
Credits: 58,496,899 58,734,091
new credits: 237,192

How many tasks are you running at one time on your gpu's? Are you overclocking them?

This is probably just an indication that validation has been temporarily suspended. Maybe there is some sort of upgrade going on. Things like this do seem to happen from time to time.
If you look at your list of validated results for that host, you will see that the most recent valid result was returned over a day ago. Undoubtedly there will be a flood of new validations from the pendings accumulated in the meantime, once the validation process is resumed. That might even have happened by the time I get to post this :-).
Until there is something to indicate to the contrary, I don't think there is any reason to assume there's some sort of actual 'problem'.
As regards to why the number of valid results have dropped, please realise that to keep the size of the online database within reasonable limits, older results do get removed after a relatively short time. The removal of older results will give a drop in the number listed, if new results aren't being added.
Cheers,
Gary.
