Small weather advisory here: The PNW is expected to see an increase in heavy storming (including severe winds) on a level that a number of places are comparing it to huge storms that took place in 1962. Greatest impact days are projected to be:
Late Thursday night/Friday morning - 10/13: now not as bad as projected
Late Saturday morning/Saturday night - 10/13: still projected to be terrible

Please note while we do not expect Foldit to be affected, it's one of those things that fall into the realm of possibility, and we will do our absolute best to minimize any downtime that falls within our ability to fix. And of course, if you are within the path of the storms, please stay safe. You can keep updated and get more information here, here, here, and here.

In the event Foldit is affected by the weather, please be sure you are following us on Twitter and Facebook. We will do our very best to keep those updated as we are able.

Hey everyone!

We're pushing out a small update to the developer preview with a change to idealize SS. Your fellow players noticed that the helices produced by the tool weren't optimal, and we're putting in a change to fix that!

Tools:
* Idealize SS now uses more realistic values for idealizing helices
