Your WU (P6701 R83 C18 G5) was added to the stats database on 2010-06-20 19:05:48 for 5040.63 points of credit.

For new WUs, that problem was fixed some time ago,. I'm not sure of the status of the WUs that were submitted before the problem was fixed. Some Wus may still be due a re-credit of the bonus.
.

I never said that I didn't get credits for that P6701 (thanks for checking that), I just pointed out that it only equals ~7,500 PPD (which is what HFM.
net reports too) when other SMP units do ~10,000 PPD.
So, isn't the bonus for the P6701 high enough or is the base credit too low ?
Why would the P6701 be that less valuable than the other WU's of its sort while it gobbles as much electricity per minute as the others ?
I think that PG need to start looking at the power costs to determine credits, in stead of the stuff they are using up until now ...

I was answering your question about whether bonuses were being applied, not defending any specific PPD. Earlier I had said that bonuses were NOT being applied. You asked whether it was still true or not. In fact, until now I had not come back and said "the bonuses are working again" even though they were fixed soon after my original post. Without a bonus, you'd get 921 points for completing that WU. You did get 5040.63 points, therefore you did get a reasonably large bonus.
So, isn't the bonus for the P6701 high enough or is the base credit too low ?
Perhaps either, perhaps neither. How many days does it take to complete this WU on the benchmark i5 or the benchmark P4? Without that information the question is unanswerable.

How many days between download and upload was HFM using to calculate the bonus?
