I found it for someone but I had to dig to find it.
On the software page...
Step 3. Follow the instructions to Start Folding.
The client installation has a prompt for a passkey, and a link to get one. It's also linked from the Install Guides, and linked from the FAQs page. And FAHControl has a link right above the Passkey field that says "Click here to get a passkey..."

Above the Search box, how about "Get a passkey to qualify for bonus points" or something along those lines. The reason being, those donors who have already set-up their systems will not read the installation guide again. Having this small box would be nice since it catches a persons attention and IMO, is better in the long run.

In the search box, type "passkey" ;)

Humm... I am going to pretend that I just heard passkey and searched for it. With that in mind, the results aren't making much sense to me and has overwhelmed me -> http://folding.stanford.edu/home/?s=passkey

I expected a links to the Passkey FAQ and the site to get one. Instead, what I get is a huge page with lots of "F@H Stuff" and passkey is buried inside of it.

BTW, is this new site "heavy" since it takes more than a few seconds to load on a 4094 kbit/s down and 380 kbit/s up line? Nearly every other site I visit loads within 7 seconds but the new site takes 15s to 20s to load :/

EDIT -> Had interchanged the up and down labels. Now they are corrected.

The site search seems to be behaving differently than I remember. Contacting one of the site admins about it...

Yeah, it does seem slower than before. I think that was one advantage that the PmWiki base of the old site has over this Wordpress-powered version. I believe Wordpress does MySQL lookups when putting the page together. We installed a caching plugin a while back which seems to have helped though.
F@h is now the top computing platform on the planet and nothing unites people like a dedicated fight against a common enemy. This virus affects all of us. Lets end it together.

Nevermind. I did a global search, and found this old link on the older client download page, and fixed all examples of it.

Agreed. A big thanks to both 7im and Jesse_V for all their hard work and time commitment to making these much needed improvements. That kind of commitment and dedication is what keeps on making this community a helpful and friendly place. :biggrin:

No, it's not PC! And it's already changed twice since this was first posted, so you're way off base.
