I'm connected to stratum.btcguild.com:3333. I received idle worker notifications, and the dashboard is showing no shares submitted for about half an hour. According to cgminer, I'm submitting shares at my usual rate. Are those shares still being counted?
I thought it was just me

same problem here.
i switched to backup pool.
the odd thing is that the dashboard showed like 4000 stales and last contact with the worker of 26 minutes but the worker was still sending work, and not more than 30 stales counted on the miner.
after about 20 minutes in the backup pool I switched back to btcguild and everything was back to normal.
what happened?
I can imagine that we just lost that half hour of mining right?
