Hi Guys
Had a small power outage and my backup machine I test with went down( Nothing critical on it so I did not have a UPS on it). By the time I got back home and restarted everything I noticed that I will not finish the WU until 3 hours and 20 minutes past the final deadline as per FahMon.

Does this mean I will not get credit for it or that F@H will not accept the Work unit? Losing points suck (over 2000 points) but I don't want all the folding to go to waste if Stanford won't accept the WU at all.

Thanks in Advance

From the FAH wiki:

A client that exceeds the Preferred deadline of a WU still has time to complete the WU before its Final deadline. Full credit will be awarded when a WU is returned before the Final deadline. The scientific value of the work is slightly reduced because it had to be duplicated when the client passed the Preferred deadline. If the client were to exceed the Final deadline of a WU, the client will discard the partially completed WU and download a new WU. No credit will be awarded.
