Re: New to Beta

Hello Coleslaw,
There is always a message in the BETA forum before a BETA run. No message - no BETA units to run.

Re: New to Beta

Question:

Under "My Projects" is the "Please opt me in to new projects as they become available." Does this apply to the computers signed up for Beta testing?

Thanks

Re: New to Beta

New Projects and Beta Testing are 2 different options. Neither has any effect on the other. Beta units are all the same old project as far as BOINC is concerned. It is just we humans who get confused about that.

Re: New to Beta

lawrencehardin, I am aware. I was being a bit sarcastic. Sorry for not being more clear.

Re: New to Beta

In the WCG My Contribution: Results Status webpage, I have four WUs in the "Valid" Status. One of them is
"Project Name: Beta - Microbiome Immunity Project
Created: 08/18/2017 21:22:32
Name: BETA_beta26_99999997_1835"

The return time was 8/19/2017 however WCG has not cleared them from the Results sheet. I do not understand why this is so. Can someone please explain this to me?

Thanks...

Re: New to Beta

'Old' beta results from the last go-live project sometimes loiter around for months. By keeping them there, and it bothers no one but a few, results are kept alive and accessible, for one maybe to be able to compare test to production, in case in the early phase problems develop.

Just made this, to be honest ;)

Re: New to Beta

Thanks Seke - as long as it's not a WCG programming bobo I have no problem with the WU results hanging around.

It seems that the old Beta results have been removed from the Results Status page now.
