New to this so could somebody explain what credits are for please? Thank you.

We always know when there is no work so you don't have to write it everytime. I always know it before checking forum.

Current drought already mentioned under "Problems and bug reports".

Come on people, check things out first before posting issues somewhere....

Since the server tends to run out of work every month we could be even more efficient by reusing old threads to report about the frequent problem: "Queue is dry, out of WUs" ;)

This can pretty much be negated by changing the setting in the Boinc Manager on how often the 'checkpoints to disk' write to the disk, from the default of 60 seconds to 900 seconds or 15 minutes. With enough ram the disk is not used for the actual crunching, just the pre, post and checkpointing stuff.
