Certificate generator needs to be fixed

[mwroggenbuck]

Bring up the web client. On the upper right you can select see stats. This gives you your folding at home stats. You can select total score or total WUs to get a certificate. I get 2,000 work units no matter what I select (either link). My name is correct, as it the date, but the values are incorrect (and only give WUs).

I hit 100,000,000 points a while back and wanted to print out the certificate. Then I discovered this error. I figured it would be fixed given time. I was wrong. I now have 155,000,000

This is known ... there is a workaround ... copy and paste the link and remove the last bit after the user number and then use that and you will get the certificate you want ... at some point it may get corrected but very low priority as not science related and workaround available ... https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-issues/issues/1413

Ok, it works (although it rounds to a nice number)

To be more precise, the URL will end with something like "&type=score".

Remove the &type= and everything after it.

Another update:

The work units link provides the proper (rounded) certificate for number of work units. You don't need to change anything. You need to remove the &type=score to get a proper (rounded) points certificate from the points link.

&type etc. comes after the user number in the link so I think your instructions are simply a restatement?

[mwroggenbuck]

Yes, it is just a restatement. The computer scientist in me had problems with "remove the last bit" (one character = one byte = 8 bits) How could I remove part of one character? Sometimes I take things too literally.

Rofl ... understand
