I have been a member for a few days now, and have a gif set up as a sig on another site. It hasn't changed since I joined and at first I thought that I must have it set up incorrectly, but when I got back here I have found that my stats have not been updated on-site either.

So I went investigating in case there is a delay and found this in the FAQ:-



How often is BOINCstats updated?

BOINCstats checks for XML updates every hour, and, when available, downloads them, reads the content into the database and updates the credits and ranks.
The numbers from this update are used to display current credits and ranks for the stats only.
The incremental updates take between 15 minutes up to one hour to complete.

At 15:00GMT each day all new info from the XML files is imported into the BOINCstats database. New users/teams/countries are inserted at this point, and daily/weekly/monthly numbers are calculated. When there is no new XML file for more then a day, the stats will show zero credits for those days.
The numbers from this update are used to display the numbers on the frontpage and the detailed stats pages.
The daily update takes about 2,5 hours to complete.

The same update, but then just for hosts, runs each day at 1:00GMT, and takes about five hours to complete.

Only users, teams, hosts and countries with at least one (1) total credit are listed!

When an update is running, there is no check for new XML files until the update is finished. This is why the time since last update can be more than one hour.

Until this date, BOINCstats never failed to run it's daily update , which means: when new credit is granted and the XML output by the project is OK, you'll get your credit on BOINCstats within 25 hours.

I got credits, but BOINCstats doesn't show them.

BOINCstats depends on the XML output of the projects.

BOINCstats checks for XML updates every half hour, and, when available, downloads them, and reads the content to update the current-credit.
Once a day all stats are updated, and all info from the XML files is pumped into the BOINCstats database.

Sometimes the XML output is delayed, or there isn't any XML output for an extended period due to (server)problems at the project. When this happens, it's impossible for BOINCstats to update, and your new credits won't show on BOINCstats, until XML output is resumed.





This has lead me to wonder what xml file are you talking about? would it be the file located on my computer at: BOINC\statistics_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml ?

If it is, then this file is there and current so why have my stats not been updated? Have I got an error/incorrect set-up for the data to be collected? And if not, what file are you talking about, and when am I likly to see my updated stats?

The XML-files are created by the different projects, and are located on their servers.
Some projects update them every several hors, some dayly, some have problems atm.

LHC hasn't done an update since september last year.
Seti does some serverside changes, and updates the accout data but not the xml for some more days.

To have a look how old the different projects stats are (or at least their readable output via XML-file), look in the right column on the start page here.

Edit:
I just saw, you're crunching Seti only, A wee peek at the HP of seti would have shown you the answer:
