Constellation
Does anyone have any idea what's going on with constellation, it's been down now for the past 4 days including their own hompage.
The only reason i'm bothered is I've got literally hundreds of completed tasks which are about to hit their deadlines.
Cheers in advance

Hi Rich,
If the admins know they have a server issue, then in the case of other projects, they tend to extend the deadline, as clearly the problem is not down to the users....plus the data being crunched is still worthwhile to have.
So, I'd be tempted to carry on and see what transpires over the next few days.
regards
Tim

Hi, rich - I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure that, if you complete a WU within its deadline while the server is down, you should still be granted credits - I'm not sure on that though, so someone might need to double check me...
'UBT - Chris' is my old name - I now crunch as 'CaffeinatedSloth' but I'm still 100% UBT
The deadlines are usually just to prevent work sitting around on peoples PCs doing nothing, once the deadline passes, the WU is sent out to other users ... and with the site down, they won't be getting sent out to other users just yet
You should get credit for any WUs crunched correctly and returned before anyone else returns them regardless of the deadline.

Good news everyone, we're finally back online!
We are sorry to have you experiencing a longer than intended server down-time. Due to the new Comet Trails app, we generated more than expected results, which caused some trouble with our system. So thank you very much for helping this great application and also benchmarking our server.
We already tackled the main problems, but we still leave the server under monitoring. So please be patient with us, if the server is not yet running as it used to. By the way, it is still the same server we started with in 2011 plus some new storage. He served us well, but if you like us to have a new and reliable one, please be so kind and donate on our donation page.
We will keep you informed here or on our "emergency channels". And we will also have some other good news coming up.
So, thank you for your patience again!
