I do not get it.

Finished 5 WU's since yesterday, but still no credits.

When I look at my account I cannot access pending credits and
results!

I do not understand this system. Why can I not access these pages?
How does this credit-system work? There is almost no info on the
SETI-site (and no info on the message-boards and no info on
usenet).

This has been covered here (alt.sci.seti) several times.

Not in the last two weeks, I guess.

Try Google groups.

I might, but after spending most of my morning en half of my afternoon
reading 2 newsgroups (1 goes back 1 month and one 2 weeks), the seti
site and messageboards I am now quite fed up with searching and
finding nothing!

Incidently, it can take up to two weeks (or more) to get your
credits. Don't be impatient.

Argh, this new system is really motivating. I cannot keep track of my
workunits (the site is temporarily unavailable on that part), I
cannot see how many credits are pending, how credits are allotted,
what the ratio is and why.

What the hell am I doing this for? Where are the results going? A bit
of transparancy would be nice!

Berkeley are just having teething problems. It'll all be sorted in the
not-to-distant  future.

You are familiar with the fact that you don't get credit until two others
have crunched the unit and returned the same result? This is to stop
cheating and make for better science. The downside is that you have to wait
for two others to return the unit and then for it to be processed and
credited.

It takes a while. If you're after instant gratification then BOINC isn't for
you. The information is/was available on the SETI site but they've been
having problems. When it's fixed you will be able to track exactly what is
happening with each unit and where it is in the accrediting proccess.

Have pateince.
