Yes, there are known problems in transferring v4 credit to v5 (including that one IIRC) and showing them on all the appropriate reports. They are being worked on. They and other v5-associated problems have been reported to mersenneforum.org, mainly (and preferably) in the threads titled "OFFICIAL 'SERVER PROBLEMS' THREAD", "Prime95 version 25.7" and "PrimeNet 5.0 Upgrade" in the PrimeNet subforum. Those working on the migration and bug-fixing regularly read all new posts in those threads. There are also several other threads reporting and discussing particular problems. (It would be easier for bug-fixing if they had been reported in one of the three main thread I list above, but since those are crowded with postings, it's understandable that folks start new threads.) A nonexhaustive list: "v5 security problems", "v4_computer vs. Machine Name anomaly", "N/A in my worktodo.txt file?", "Can I quickly unreserve & get my assignments back?", "Prime95 v25.7 Invalid CPU type", for instance. Some other problem report threads are in the mersenneforum.org Software subforum: "Don't understand instructions for upgrading to v25", "v25.7 Destroys PrimeNet v4 work-in-progress", "v25.7 linux: MaxLoad/MinLoad" for instance. - - - To all: Let me once again stress that _the data is not lost_. It's on the (offline) v4 PrimeNet system, but not yet completely transferred to the online v5 system, and so not yet completely accessible online. Please, _do not delete any of your own save files or other records of past work because you despairingly (but incorrectly) think your credits are gone_! It will take a while to get everything working properly on v5, but there is no reason whatsoever to conclude that any of your past work reported to v4 will not eventually show up properly on v5. _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list Prime@hogranch.com http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
