Checking my Results Status list this AM I found 2 flu WU's that were PV status. I opened one of the WU Status panels and it was Quorum 1, no wingman, and I noticed a link to "Try Validation". I clicked it and the status changed to Valid.
----------------------------------------I checked the 2nd, same Quorum, clicked the link but no change in status and when I reopened the WU status there was no "Try Validation" link. I didn't capture the 1st WU but the second was: Name Ver Status Sent Return flu10801c0152_ 100335_ 0-- 604 Pending Validation 9/4/09 12:21:50 9/5/09 02:41:04 All a long prelude to the question, is the "Try Validation" link new or have I just failed to notice it in the past? FYI, the 2nd is showing Valid after the last update.

Hello wplachy ,
It is a new feature. knreed was puzzled by the way some units would fail to validate. He had a backup routine that would validate such units after about ten days, but he has been looking for ways to speed that up. If he finds and fixes the validation bug, this new feature will almost certainly disappear. At least, that is my opinion. Lawrence |

wplachy,
----------------------------------------Yes as Lawrence notes it's new, implemented without a member feature news announcement that I can remember explaining this (intentionally low key?). Indeed when he would stumble on the validation fix as to why some will not proceed through the automated process, the button will effortlessly never show again :D Meantime, this is a stop gap for those in a rush. Several supplementals are in place to have the PV stuck items clear anyhow. 1. A check for validation at the original deadline, the point where otherwise a No Reply result would need a backup sent. 2. Another check at I think 14 days (when a No Reply Make Up job should be back) 3. Yet another check at 19 days from original submission date of the original task's deadline. Point 2 I'm not entirely sure about, recollecting what I read filling in, but it's Spock logic to me ;>) As for the fail to validate on the second result with the Try Validation link, bug or simply a delay between you pushing it and the validator getting in gear. It's cleared and that was what it needed.

I hadn't noticed this new feature until I read about it here. I found one FightAids@Home work unit with a quorum of one which was stuck. When I clicked the "Try Validation" link, a "Scheduled for Validation" note appeared. A couple minutes later it validated. Thanks to knreed for this feature and to wplachy for mentioning it.

lawrence and Sekerob thank you for the quick response, and to knreed for the function addition!
----------------------------------------I've seen the threads on the "stuck" WUs and when I saw this yesterday was hoping that might be the case but couldn't find anything about it being done. Bill

The new search is brilliant. Search word stuck, you had that and the author knreed, good bet in many cases and voila:

Sekerob,
----------------------------------------Thanks for the response. I had tried searching on "try validation", never thought to look for "stuck", silly old me :-). After reading the note I remembered seeing it back in August but hadn't retained it. Bill
