This is just a precautionary note to anyone who might happen to read it. Before changing the system date on your PC, MAKE SURE YOU SHUT DOWN BOINC AND LEAVE IT DOWN UNTIL YOU VERIFY THAT THE SYSTEM DATE IS CORRECT!

Failure to do so could result in invalid statistics for whatever projects manage to contact the server while the date is set incorrectly as well as the corruption of the long term debt values for the projects that you crunch.

I found this out the hard way when I accidentally set the year to 2017 instead of 2007. My long term debt is now approximately 400 million, so I have projects that won't be scheduled for approximately 10 years unless I manually adjust it.

A long term debt reset option would certainly be a handy option to have in the Boinc manager for these types of situations!

Have you already posted this in any of the projects fora or even better the BOINC-Forum?

This is just a stats site, no official BOINC developer forum.

I posted it n Einstein@home but not on the official BOINC forum. I figured it out kind of late last night and just wanted to make sure I got the word out there somewhere. I'll post it on BOINC today.

Thank you!
(I forgot to say that in my last post)

I have another link for you, as it's probably a bug: the official BOINC bug database BoincZilla.

Not in BOINCManager, but possible with BOINCDV. I have no idea if it works to reset the debts as I have not done that myself (but I do use it to look at LTD and STD). But as always, exit BOINC and backup your BOINC folder before messing with any of the files.
