I'm doing the climate change study. It's telling me that I'm 8 days over due and that I might not receive credits. Then says I might consider aborting. Does this mean any further work my computer does will not be used? Or only that I won't receive credits? (I don't care about credits or what not). Is this project now over?

You're posting on the BOINC forums. You need to ask these questions at the project forums, in this case, the Climate Prediction forums (Number Crunching would be the one to go to).

Normally work done past the deadline has resulted in it being sent to another computer, then it's a race between your computer and the 3rd one to get the task back to the project, to be able to get credit.

However, CPDN has always been an exception. Their models can be returned after the deadline, while your credit will have been granted to you through the intermittent trickle-ups (short burst uploads). On most of their models the deadline is of no real consequence, however you will have to ask this about your actual model at their forums.

Thanks. Will post over there as well.
