So with this task: http://www.primegrid.com/workunit.php?wuid=297753061

Looks like all the other users either had an error or aborted, and then the ther guy simply timed out. So it's telling me it can't validate and I don't get any credit.

Am I seriously just out all of the credit from that time spent on that very long task just because some other handful of random people out there crunched wrong or not fast enough? I see that someone else now has the task "In Progress". Why isn't his result allowed to validate mine?

Nope, you're good.

Don't worry about that message. Your task will be validated normally, and, assuming the result is correct, you'll get credit.

Can an admin take a look at this WU? I just finished it, apparently it hasn't been re-issued. Task limit seems low. Thanks.

The initial limit was set to 15, which has now been reached. This limit will now automatically be increased and the unit will be sent out again. This however can take a bit of time (think hours).
