- Q. What's the deal with username team
sync on the back?
A. That's only necessary for users whom
change their user name and team number in their folding client
frequently. It allows the to update their widget accordingly. It was
implement by request, however, I personally recommend opening more
than one instance of the widget for each team/name you fold for and
then you can track each one separately.
- Q. Why does the widget only update
every 1 ½ hours?
A. Because Folding@Home
updates every 3 hours and there's no reason to overtax the site.
- Q. My widget shows 0's or NA in some
fields?
A. If it's for fields from folding at
home you may need to give it time to update. If it's from your local
computer, the fields may not be available for your Core or CPU. Some
older folding clients and advanced units may cause display issues.
- Q. I have a field that has a
“undefined?”
A. This is an error, please notify us
by email on the back of the widget or by the this sites name at
gmail.com.
- Q. The widget show's an up arrow, but
my rank number is lower?
A. That's the way it suppose to work.
You went up or down in rank by that much. An up arrow with a number
means you've moved up in rank by that much. A down arrow and a number
means you've gone down by that much.
- Q. My total score doesn't mach my user
score?
A. That's exactly the way it's suppose
to be. It's an accumulation of all your points from the different
teams you fold for . Unfortunately if you have the same user name as
another user, it'll show their points in the total Work Units.
- Q. What is ETA?
A. Estimated Time to Arrival or
completion. This gives you a general estimate of when you unit will be finished folding.
- Q. My ETA date changes and I don't
think it's accurate.
A. It's accurate, but your processor
usage changes throughout the day(s) and that's why there's
fluctuation in the ETA date. The more you use your computer the
more it'll fluctuate. In addition, the checkpoint time for your
folding client will have an effect on the ETA date. Checkpoints range
between 3 and 30 minutes, but the default is 15 minutes.
- Q. I'm on Tiger 10.4.x and it's not getting my local stats.
A. With Tiger you must have spotlight turned on when you install the widget. However make sure it's not indexing your computer when you install the widget.
- Q. The widget isn't working on Tiger 10.4.x.
A. The version that work with Tiger are 9.7, 1.0.1 and 1.1.7 and later. Version 1.0.2 to 1.1.6 didn't work with Tiger and I didn't have any beta testers for Tiger at the time.
