Folding Forum

Hi everyone,

I hope this message finds you well.

I wish to ask, do you have any estimated date when the older 7.6.21 FAH client will no longer support folding? I haven’t switched to the FAH 8.4.9 client yet since I’m waiting for the following feature to be implemented:

Thanks again for your time.

No, date. There is no plans to disable it, yet. So you are safe. It might lose some functionality, when servers and infrastructure are being moved to better support v8, but v7 will still be able to get work and fold from quite some time
If you haven't done so, I add your vote to that feature/request on github

Hi muziqaz,

This sounds excellent and I really appreciate you sharing these details. I do realize I will eventually need to upgrade but I don't wish to go backwards in terms of features, hene why I am opting to stay where I am for now. Otherwise, FAH 8.4.9 is looking good to me.

I'm the user hc970 in that GitHub thread. Many thanks for sharing these details and for upvoting that feature request.
