Hey everyone,

We just updated the devprev release with the fix to scores still getting credit when then shouldn't on the load of a solution. After the puzzle closes, we will re-score solutions to make sure they are valid.

Thanks

It's time to gussy up those computer screens with a new Foldit wallpaper! A big thank you goes out to our artists who took the time to create it for us. Enjoy!

This is a notification that the Terms of Service will be getting a minor update soon. The following additions and modifications will cover external logins (for programs such as EdX MOOC) and the sharing of data with collaborators. Here are the new changes:

"If you log in with an account from a third party project, data will be associated with an identifier provided by that project and data may be reported to both Foldit and that project."

"Data used for research may be made public or shared with collaborators"

"Data logged by the game may be shared with domain experts for analysis."
