Hmmm i though i had joined but im not showing up???

You only show up once you've completed a work unit - once you've sent your results back, and they have been processed on the site. (This is done once an hour, so you may have to wait up to an hour after completing a unit before your name shows up)

Billy, here you go:

I suppose I should really set up a list of similar programs - such as the Seti one - for people that are interested.

I asked Jig (Before I set this thread up) whether he thought it was a good idea to do so, but he never responded on that particular point.

If it keeps you happy Skeeter, i'll do that tonight.

I'll add your picture into the avatar as well, CaptRingold.

No sign of an email from you yet, Michae1ange1o - i'm guessing that means you haven't got the avatar files anymore...?

*Edit - i've added you to the avatar CaptRingold *

It's so important you posted twice!

I don't mind you sending me either one - if you want me to add the animated version of your avatar then send me the animated file. If you want a non-moving one like those currently displayed, then I can just copy-and-paste your avatar direct from here, as i've done with everyone else's (Plus adding their name in with MS Paint )

I think Billy would like his to be animated though, so if you could send me the file for that, it would help. It's in .GIF format, right?

It isn't crucial that it is, but it makes my life easier. Besides, there aren't many other file types supported on the site.

...

Zahadoom, what would you like for your avatar? I could try putting your current one in if it was in .GIF format...

Na, you probably wouldn't be able to get a good quality GIF of that. Send me any pictures you like instead.

is there any way that i could make my computer do the work units faster?

Edit - thanks moe.

To work faster, all you can do is pretty much follow the guides in my first few posts in this thread.

The best way is to make sure that you set CPU usage to 100%. This ensures that ALL processor cycles that aren't being used by another program are used by folding@home.

Other than that though, there isn't anything more I can tell you. You could try leaving it running overnight or something, if you don't mind using the electricity...or you could set it so you run smaller/less complex work units by NOT clicking the "Allow receipt of work assignments and return of results greater then 5Mb in size" on the connection tab of the configuration settings.

This of course means that the work units are easier, so you get les points for them. It's your choice.

Oh, and the work unit that I said was taking for ever to complete is now on 100/250 frames.

how do you open the connection tab?
