And now MCM tasks downloading and running again.
Edit:Tasks completed and uploaded but back to not reporting.
Edit2: A bit of encouragement by way of clicking<update project> and completed tasks reported and more downloaded.

A significant increase in percentage of tasks validated this morning. At least on my results page.

They must be working on things again... for several hours now I can't report completed tasks but they do upload. Don't know exact error message details since these are tasks on my Android phone.

It begun with the old "Another scheduler instance is running for this host" issue, and when that was fixed, came the "http service unavailable" issue. When that was fixed, we got the new downloading of all .PNG files, even if we already had them all. That always happens after the "Another scheduler instance is running for this host" issue.

So, now we're back in business again. At least for a while :-)

My PV queue is slowly shrinking . Fingers crossed

Suddenly there are tasks :-)

As things seem to be back to normal can credits be added to Free DC and other sites .

Firstly, given the first 7 pages of my completed results (25 per page) are all validation pending I am not convinced we are quite back to normal yet.
Secondly, I suspect that you will need to address this with those managing WCG rather than here. A few times, CPDN have changed the address that the aggregation sites need to go to to add the stats and the problem is more likely to be with that page than anything the sites can do.

Tell WCG do update the stats files. They have not done so in months.

That update also answers some other questions. For now I have replaced the forums page with that link in my shortcuts. Probably should have done so a while ago. I look forward to the return of ARP tasks once the validation is sorted.

Show that to the people repeatedly asking here about why Free-DC has not done something when it is all on WCG.

Anyway, they've been trying to validate since like August so I wouldn't expect stats any time soon.

Feeder not running message when I update.

Same here can’t upload completed tasks.

Looks like WCG is having some connection issues... If I go to the main website page I get this:

System error
World Community Grid is currently experiencing an unexpected error. Please check Facebook or Twitter for more information.

If I try to open anything else I get the 403 error:
