We are trying to fix the scoring artifacts in recent design puzzles, so that we can go back to posting them.
We just reposted a puzzle in the Developer Preview:

(This is the same puzzle as before: http://fold.it/portal/node/993387 but a change in the most recent update to devprev should help a lot!)
We'd appreciate your help in testing out this design puzzle, so we can see if adding this new scoring patch helps and we can use it in future design puzzles. Thank you for your help on this!
Please read the FAQ if you'd like to try out the Developer Preview and please post your feedback about this puzzle in the comments of this news post.
Since this puzzle will not be scored, it doesn't matter what the scoreboard reads… we wanted you to be able to load in ALL your previously high-scoring solutions that had poor designs, so that you could tell if our fix works and indeed they don't score as well as before.
I save and share with myself my solution on 571, I cannot retrieve it in the new puzzle.
I have not saved the previous best on the puzzle and cannot open it because it has the same name.
Sorry about that… I will repost it as well (allowing you to hopefully load in previous solutions) and leave both versions open.
It is now a brand new puzzle in devprev:

(You can hopefully load in your previous solutions from
http://fold.it/portal/node/993382 as well.)
Thank you again for your help testing this, we hope it will lead to better design puzzles!
Please NOTE: the change between this puzzle and the previous iteration is entirely in the latest update to devprev (not in the puzzle) so please make sure you test this one out with the most recent devprev client. Otherwise you will see no difference whatsoever!
Are we supposed to see any changes whatsoever when toggling this checkbox on or off because I see and experience no difference whatever the status, checked or not.
