They show in short what changes there are. ID: 79482 ·

Here is the link to the message I posted on the LHC message boards: Tasks aborted by project and BOINC 7.8.0 If this is the wrong thread to post this on, please move to wherever is appropriate.

I do know that the Sixtrack administrator has been struggling with workflow and validation problems recently, and may have had to cancel a batch of tasks. ID: 79744 ·

LHC has been struggling with some bigger problems lately - so my report turning out to be an LHC problem, too, is not a surprise. I just wanted to make sure BOINC was aware of it. But - Toby's reply seems to put my 7.8.0 concerns to bed. Stick ID: 79745 ·

It happens. But I think BOINC is definitely off the hook for this one. ID: 79766 ·

My thought, when I first posted, was that 7.8.0 had somehow been complicit in the LHC server and my client getting out of sync. But it definitely looks like LHC deserves all the blame and 7.8.0 is off the hook. EDIT: "It happens." - a quote from one of the great minds of our era - Forrest Gump ID: 79774 ·
