Yesterday I put F@H on my wife's laptop, folding when idle, I opened 'Web Control', I was amazed, she has 240,000 pts, then looking at 'see stats' she had 707 Wu's, this morning, increased pts, & 708 WU's.

Please post the applicable sections of FAH's log.

Is she using the same name and passkey that you have been using or is this a new account or a new passkey?

There looks to have been more than 1 Aileen in the 2 million or so donors...
I'm not sure whether there's still a tool to check your name / passkey combination to filter out previous contributions made by other donors with the same name. The alternative if you want to measure your own contribution is to come up with a unique name or fold for a different team.

If you use the OFFICIAL FAH stats, you can filter the results by both Name and Passkey.

FAH has never required that names be unique. That's an important reason why passkeys were adopted.

rwh202 is correct, the current Official Stats page does not include the ability to filter using a passkey. It appears to not have been included in the redesign of the site. As I recall it was brought up with one of the PG members who said they were going to have it looked into. So eventually it may return

Well Shucks, I thought she had a super folder 707 WU's from the get go! LOL.

So changing the name is easy fix like 12345Aileen or something like that? Right?

As long as (A) you check that 12345Aileen has not been used and (B) she's willing to donate her first few WUs to the former (or current) Aileen's account. :)
