Important Notices
Update Dec. 7, 2019The project files are not available as of today. Godaddy has determined that even though our account plan purports to include unlinited server space and we use only a modest amount of server space, the projects must be deleted from their server. This is certainly a disappointment after many years as a customer.The projects may eventually be online again with a different host. Much of remainder of the site may continue to function since it is hosted by another service.
Dec. 12, 2019 Update
The projects are unavailable and will be so for at least another 6 months.
The best method of checking your project is
1)to use a different computer than you normally use.
2)Browse to the URL
www.virtualsciencefair.org/2014/your_userid
(replace your_userid with your unique userid).
Your can also test by entering your userid in the textbox below and clicking "Check"
Of course you still must check that all the links work and all the images etc. display properly. Absolutely no live links to pages outside the VSF are allowed. Absolutely NO link to YouTube etc. Have you a complete Project Information Page?
