I am seeking advice to correct a problem I think I created in SETI
Queue, for the number of WUs set in the WU size override table.

Let me explain, please ...

I have a SETI smallholding fed by SETI Queue, and until now I have
worked with a minimum cache of 1 day (30) and a maximum of 2 days (60).

Because of the current difficulties with the Data Server uploading WU
results and downloading new WUs. A few days ago I decided to up this to
1 day minimum and 3 days maximum.

Due to continuing problems, and nothing sent or downloaded yesterday, I
wanted to buffer a little higher (say 4 days). To do this I did the
following -

With the Queue screen launched I selected -

/settings/Queue settings/select Queue/double-click Q0001/WU Queue size/

In the table "WU Queue size" I altered the min and max numbers in the
"Override", then closed by hitting enter (rather than my normal mouse
click on OK).

This seemed to reset the max and min numbers to 0, and no matter what
figures I enter in these sections it keeps dropping to 0.

I have tried the administrator log in and tools setting to reset in
"click to edit settings" as well at the conventional way.

How can I get back to the way it was? What do I need to do?

Help will be greatly appreciated as I now have 2 days cache before
reaching the 0 cached WU settings. I am reading that I then cannot
download any more SETI Queue cached units for distribution? 
In order for the changes to be effective you MUST go thru the log-in
way! Then just click on "settings" and then "click to edit settings"
and you can change the settings to whatever you choose.
If you can't get back to where you are supposed to be you may have
messed the program up and need to contact the people at the website.
