fahinfo.org is a database of collected Folding@Home project scores. The scores are submitted along with details about the CPU on which they were run. This information will show which workunits are best (and worst) for specific CPUs, and also highlight the differences between the different cores on the same CPU type. The more data collected and added the better, as this will serve to make the PPD/GHz values more accurate. You can lookup the work-unit (by project number) you are currently running to see how well it could or should be doing on your particular CPU, I might even make it recommend the CPU that you should be using for that WU. This site was written by and is maintained by me, Uncle_Fungus, and has been hand-coded from scratch in PHP and MySQL.

Another bug has been fixed which caused the HHMMSS fields on the edit score dialog to be blank. If you didn't notice this and couldn't remember the actual data, the score got wiped (since the data became 0).
This data is now correctly displayed, and the dialog rearranged slightly to make it clear that you NEED to alter the computer name field, since this isn't selected automatically.

Unforunately something seems to have broken the average scores table in the database which messes up large sections of the site. Currently none of the graphs work, half the site stats, and the export data option (probably) are also broken.
I'm currently trying to work out what has gone wrong, given that the code hasn't changed in several weeks and has been working fine until now.

The mini (and large) bandwidth graphs have been updated to include data about the operating system the score was achieved on. The graphs are colour coordinated to match the OS Stats pie chart.
A bug on the average scores page has also been squashed (and the mess wiped off).

The updates I promised have been completed and the site now accepts score submissions again. A rethink of the backend of fahinfo.org was necessary and was prompted by several of the projects being re-scored. Previously fahinfo.org had no way to deal with projects that changed their point value (and thus PPDs etc.) so it was largely ignored.
However, now, the data stored is completely independent of point values, and any PPD or PPD/GHz data you see is calculated on the fly based on the current point value of the WU you're looking at. This means that any points changes don't affect the data stored in the database, only the data that's presented to you, which is always current.
The upshot of this is, that I've now removed the option to submit PPDs as valid data, you now have to enter the data as a frame time since this is independent of any point value.
Edit: I've just noticed that a couple of graphs aren't displaying and I'm endeavoring to fix them. They work locally on my dev version, but apparently the public site doesn't like them. Judging by what's causing the problem it looks like a relatively easy fix.
Edit 2: It looks like I've managed to fix them.

The ability of users to submit scores to the site has temporarily been disabled to allow me to perform maintenance on that section of the site. At the moment I don't know how long this will take, but other site functions shouldn't be affected. It is likely that after the changes have been made the whole site will go down for about half an hour whilst I link the updates in with the rest of the site.
