Phasing out old scores

[admin]

Due to the slight changes to scoring that were posted with the latest update, as well as the fixing of the bug that allowed confusion of soloist and evolver scores, we will be phasing out old scores up to the point the update was released. This will take place over a period of about a month, so the transition will be relatively smooth.

We will also be cutting off global soloist and evolver scores 4 months into the past. That is, your scores will be the sum of you scores on the individual puzzles that have taken place in the last 4 months. Of course, you will only notice the effects of this about 4 months from now.

Due to these changes, your global soloist and evolver scores will no longer be a good measure of how much you have contributed to Foldit in the past if you no longer play so much. So we will be introducing another system to recognise the achievements of past masters, but for now I won't reveal the details.

Have fun folding,

why don't you spend some time fixing the extremely frequent lockups and/or crashes with the new versions ???

Thanks for the suggestion, I've implemented it. It was an oversight not to have done it earlier.

Cheers,

I see than my score is not 4 months into the past but just from Oct 15 to Dec 04 which is less than 2 months.

As I said, the transition period is gradual. The phasing out of scores prior to November 24 has been taking place over the last two weeks, and is scheduled to be finished by Monday. You will notice your score changes daily until then. After Monday, we will grow the window from which your scores are summed for 4 months. So you will only begin to notice this 4-month cutoff from March 24, or thereabouts.
