Sharing current puzzle solutions impossible without current clients' acceptance of terms of service

Started by Bletchley Park

It is impossible to share solutions created with current clients without first accepting the new terms of service, but this requires a restart of the current client.

Once this 'non compliant' client is detected, it is disconnected from the server updates and further updates on a running puzzle are impossible. Upping priority to high. Some folks may not realize this, thus updates on soon finishing puzzle not posted.

This policy requires me to terminate 11 clients, upgrade to a new client, accept the terms and restart them with all local script changes. That is a steep learning curve 1 hour before puzzle end.

In addition to having to restart the clients, the first time doing so I had to accept the terms over and over again before the client wanted to let me in. The very first time I started a client after the system went live, all went fine, but then it seems clients that were still running on another system at the same time took revenge and invalidated the acceptance. So when I realized the other clients needed a restart too, the mess began.

My advice: make sure to stop all clients before upgrading, and after accepting the first time, restart that client to purge the system.

I've had to accept the new terms twice the past few days just to login to the Foldit site to check Foldit e-mails. Both sets of terms were dated 12/17/12. It would be nice if the system would let you accept the terms once and then be done with it, especially when the terms have not changed.

It should just ask you to accept the TOS once. If it's not, can you let us know what your setup is like, how many clients you had open at the time etc?

brow42 Lv 1

There are many settings that are written on (CLEAN!) client exit, which can be annoying. This includes cookbook, view options, and last puzzle played. This means the last client closed writes settings. It also means changes are lost when clients crash. It sounds like TOS acceptance is one of those. Perhaps some or all settings should be written only when changed, at the time of change?

and resynchronized on the other clients as well ?
If changes are written when made, but not synchronized, you will still end up with lost script changes as they will overwrite other changes from other clients.
