PrimeNet 5.0 Upgrade

I had the same problem of losing cpu's. I solved it by editing the prime.txt file.
I changed the value of the V5UserID= entry, it was set to ANONYMOUS.
You will have to restart the program before it works.

[Old man PrimeNet]

Test: Verify your v5 userid remains set as expected in the program.

In my Assignments I no longer have any assignments listed for V4_Computers
I also no longer have assignments for Ice_baby

In my Results report I still have results from v4_Computers
But I do NOT have results from Ice_baby

I too lost V4_Computers and some UserIDs are being reset to ANONYMOUS, although the computer name remains correct. I will send George an email with the prime.log from a changed computer.

On my computer the userid in the PrimeNet section of the Test menu had gone blank (without any intervention by me).

Restoring the correct uid seems to stick.

Ditto...userid on all CPUs had been changed to blank
and
Ditto...setting them got the CPUs back on the list.

Will the 2 hours of factoring results that got turned in as ANONYMOUS get returned to me when George does the mass cleanup of ANONYMOUS?

Hey, weren't there over 200 posts in this thread? Did I miss some sort of mass deletion?

Might you be thinking of the Prime95 Version 25.7 thread?

EXCEPT...all my assignments that were labelled as V4_Computers still do not show up. All my computers have been upgraded as of yesterday afternoon but all exponents that had been assigned in v4 and are not done yet were showing up as belong to v4_computers even on my v5 computers.

Meh, I turned in 5 LLs in one day, and pegged mine at 280% or some such crazy number. Now it's only at 11%.
