I do not think that I had messed with anything- the only thing I did change was to have up to 6 days of additional work available. But of recently it seemed I have had to manually report completed work units-or maybe I have too much time on my hands to look.. I had always assumed that BOINC would report somewhat routinely because I have had a stack of completed WU's just sitting there so I did not know if it was my setting's or something on there end.

I bet you guys already know this but there is a flag that can be added to your cc_config.xml file that forces the results to get reported as soon as they finish crunching ... no running around necessary. If you don't already have a cc_config.xml just make one in the base of your boinc data dir.

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
</log_flags>
<options>
<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
</options>
</cc_config>

Did't know if I did something like this if it would help
