Some time ago the results submitted by the user who looked at the top predictions would also be marked distinctively... I thought that was a great feature - why was it removed?

Although not particulary useful, I thought it was nice to see how close to the "winning" prediction my computer came.

I liked it to. It really made you feel like you contributed something. Even though you weren't the lowest energy prediction.

I believe that it caused to much drain on already limited resources on the server side. I wish Baker Lab would reconsider (after CASP of course) putting this feature back.

I agrre with you, sometimes I would like to see where is my result in the graph to see my contribution. It could be very great to put it.

Yes, they said the method that was used to build that graph was too intense on the servers. But suggestions were made on some methods that could be used to minimize the server load. They just haven't been implemented yet. But I think the project team agreed that it was a feature of interest to teams and participants.

This feature will soon be back, together with instuctions on how to retrieve, save, and look at the structures your computer has generated. stay tuned!
(we had to disable the feature earlier because it was putting to much load on our server. but Stuart Otzer at Microsoft has developed a very efficient reporting method that we will be setting up on a new server this week)
