Does more hits = more points?

Or time + CPU = points?

Or random number * 41 = points?

By what I gather hits are more important don’t really know.

Take yesterday at19.00 hrs I had to turn my PC of at that time I had 34 hits now after boot up today I have 6??? Been on the Fad site and it shows 0

Use "sleep" mode before switching off, just a guess. I first switched off my laptop without that function and lost not only hits but the percentage dropped considerably. Since I use sleep mode the problem seems to be sorted out. I cannot say for sure but it works for me, try it no harm. I had to figure it out since I use a laptop back and forth from office and home.

I've answered this before ... twice, do a search.

I better go find it and put it into FAQs ...


itsme you will find THINK makes it's own 'check points' especially after a Hit, and on average every hour ... however, if you turn off your PC, THINK may loose where it was. At max you should have only lost an hours work, so I've no idea why it did that.

I find that if I put it to sleep/snooze first, then it seems to be ok and continues ... but I don't turn my PC off unless I was playing with Linux ... mine runs 24/7

The "updates" can take some time to get reflected on the stats page ... but it usually gets sorted at some time.

Hopefully Ian can get our own up and running ...

I'm out of bed and dressed, what more do you want?

I always take life with a grain of salt, ... a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out

One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?
