If you go to the POGS website and check your account you can then look at tasks. That should show you the WUs downloaded, and more importantly how many have been returned and validated, awaiting validation or worse marked in some way as erroneous.
 
Credits are granted after verification of the work. For many projects, a second identical task is sent to someone else. When both are returned, a project server will compare the two results. If the results of the computation match, the lower of the two credit requests is granted. Using the lower of the two prevents one form of cheating, verifying the results prevents a different form of cheating. No, I am not accusing you of cheating, but in SETI Classic, both of these forms and others were problems. Because of this, the time that it takes to grant credit for any particular task varies from seconds (typically not) through hours or days (typical) to weeks or even months (typically not). Because of the way that Work Units are batched, it is likely that many of the results you receive from any particular will be handled by the same wingman. The result of this is that you just need to be patient. The credits will be awarded eventually.

Hi JM
I have been running the BOINC client for a few days but have no credits on my POGS account. I have updated my JAVA and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the client in an effort to check my username is set correctly but when I reinstalled it I never got any username options and it just started the ongoing projects where it left off.
Can you offer any advice please?
Thanks
Scott

Sorted. I just deleted the project and loaded it on again.

On another note Im in this one for the community spirit just now but id far rather be crunching some of the projects trying to find cures for diseases in future.
 
Congratulations, that's a good age to get too :D

Almost at the half way stage of the challenge, all down hill from here :)
Any late pushes to take 2nd spot away from us... ?
 
Im delighted with my personal progress Im now in the top 50 although i have stopped running it with my phone as i cant imagine the heat getting generated is doing the battery much good.
