Recovery of Username?
I've run FHA for several years and have generated millions of points. I recently got a new computer and forget to check on my FHA username.... which I have forgotten as this was really a set-and-forget app. I now have a much more powerful computer and would like to pickup where I left off (vis-a-vis points). Is there anyway to discover my old 'folding as' username? Loss of my accumulated points feels demotivational. Was it tied to my email address?

Re: Recovery of Username?
Short of having it written down or in an email, your best bet is the old computer or files transferred off it. The username, team and passkey would have been stored in a config.xml file in the F@h data directory.
If you applied for a passkey and saved that email, it would have the username you used then. Though it did not necessarily have to have matched the username you entered into the client.
Otherwise, since the beginning of folding 20+ years ago no registry of usernames was ever kept.
