How to fetch more work units?

Post by Craigs38 »

I have just signed up to help to work on the Corona Virus project and it seems to have downloaded and successfully completed one Work Unit, but has done nothing since. How can I get it to fetch more units?

I am on a Mac running Mojave and am running FAH version 7.5.1

Thanks

It may just take waiting a bit. Currently from the huge turnout of new folders the capacity of the servers has been exceeded, and there are more requests than they can provide. They are working on adding additional server capacity.

Oh, Ok. I just wanted to make sure I was not doing something wrong. Expect a big up tick from photographers... we suddenly have no use for our computers it would seem... :-(

In fact, there is a tremendous amount of work being completed. It's just that we've had this tsunami of new donors coming out of the woodwork, all trying to help.
Hey, photographers: look at all that's actually getting done ... and look a all the people who are really trying to help.
