Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce that we have been able to increase the number of WUs available to volunteers. Global Stats updates are running normally and My Contributions page dashboard has been updated daily since the Thank You emails were sent. They are available for most users now, and we are resolving the last issues that will bring this to all volunteers. We continue working on updating all the stats and displaying forum streaks on the website, but they are stored in the database and reflected in the results tab of the My Contribution page.

Once again, a huge thank you to everyone for supporting WCG at this stage, submitting bugs and helping other volunteers in the forums. It is great to see an increased flow of results back to scientific partners. It is exciting to see that run time days for the preceding four weeks reached 1,160,151, and almost half of it (528,805) was achieved in the last week alone. Thank you.

Unfortunately, as the workload increased, we have encountered several system errors over the past two weeks. While we thought we knew the root cause and how to prevent the error in the future, we did not uncover the full complexity of what caused the error. Although we are closer to understanding the main cause, we continue to collect metrics during these events so that we can resolve it fully. Once we find a permanent fix for this issue we will provide more details in an update.

For any questions about this announcement, please comment in this thread.
