Folders: Check in Here! (read post #1 before posting) - Overclock.net

**admin** · 09-07-04

If you do not follow the procedures listed below, you will not receive your postbit in a timely manner.

All active overclock.net folders will receive a special icon in their postbit.

In order to get yours, please follow these exact instructions:

Do:
(1) Fold until you submit sufficient Work Units until your name appears on the list here. Please note that this Stanford list currently only shows the top 1,000 folders for the team, so you will need to accumulate around 10,000 points to make the list. This will require more than one WU, and the number of WUs will depend on the exact WUs submitted. There is a more comprehensive list available, but it is not updated as often as the one linked above and will not be used for check ins.
(2) Once your name is listed in the link listed above, post your folding name in this thread.
(3) You will know that you've been added to our database, when "Welcome to Team 37726!" appears in your thread. Your postbit icon will appear after the next site update, most often within 24 hours.

Do Not:
(1) Post before your name appears in the link above. You cannot be added to the database until your name appears there. Posting prior to being listed may result in long delays in being added (old check ins only get processed once every week or two as compared to new check ins which get processed 2-4 times a week).
(2) Post multiple times in this thread. This just creates more work for us as we have more posts to go through.
(3) Post back here after an absence from folding. Your name will remain in the database indefinitely, so you do not need to check back in.
(4) Post anything other than check ins in this thread. All off topic posts will result in an infraction. Please consider this fair warning.
(5) Ask folding questions in this thread. Please create a thread in the folding forum if you need any help or have any questions.

Just a bit more info - (updated Sept. 16)
Getting your postbit info is a three step process on our end. First, the info you post is manually checked against Stanford's top 1000 list, and if it checks out, your check in post will be marked as "Check in verified". If you see "Not on Stanford's top 1000 list as of [time] on [date]", your folding name as posted did not show on Stanford's site. If this happens, DO NOT check in again. Your info will be checked periodically and will be entered in our system once it checks out. Next, your profile on our site gets updated with your folding name. You'll know that the second step has occurred if you see "Welcome to Team 37726!" as an edit reason to your check in post. Finally, our system does daily automatic updates, and it's at this time that the folding postbit info gets applied. The first step happens frequently if not daily, the second step happens at least a couple of times a week, and the final step happens daily. Note that the entire process does NOT take 24 hours; the 24 hours listed above is the time from the "Welcome to Team 37726!" message to the postbit appearing.

...umm...well I see now that I'm not satisfying requirement number 1...maybe I need to turn in a work unit first? Don't know when that will be, but both 550 P3's are on the same frame, so hopefully soon.
