Using 1 account for more than 1 computer

Perhaps you will consider changing this, AuntDeen, because some of us use public computers. With a lot of online games, perhaps most of them, game progress is saved on their servers.

@parker25 - I wish I could! I'm just a player who volunteers as a global moderator.

I know that it's difficult. My suspicion is that there just isn't enough server space available.

In my own case, I use desktops in two different states. At this stage, the trick of copying off the entire Resources file no longer works for me, because I've been playing for two & a half years - it's a huge file, and errors when trying to upload to a portable hard drive. What I need to do is copy off only the files that are recent (perhaps a weeks worth) and then inserting those into the other computer.

It's tricky, inconvenient, and a pain in the neck… but it is what it is, at this point in foldit's development. I am also hoping that some day the files are all on the foldit servers!

I appreciate your warm and comforting comments, auntdeen.

I tried compressing the resources folder, and that helps… but I tried the cmp-resources-000000 folder instead of the cmp-resources- and then a bunch of different numbers and letters folder. I didn't get my updated progress with the 0000 folder but maybe I will if I save my cmp-resources-blah blah blah folder to another hard drive.

Just happened upon this thread. The original comment was about saving the state of your intro level progress. This was actually a bug that I noticed recently (last several months) and fixed. We were only pushing your progress state on start-up. Not very useful. ;-) So if you had shutdown and started again at work, we would have sent your progress and would have downloaded it to your other computer.

Anyway, it's fixed now.
