Many thanks, Didactylos.

Thanks Sekerob. I didn't know the information that you provide and it is useful.

However, I'd still like my suggestion to stand because it is exactly this kind of thing that causes me, and likely others, some confusion at the website. In a nutshell, things would much improved if a bit more thought were put into making things really user-friendly. Do I really want to go through all that just to see how my stats are doing? Well, honestly, no I don't. My own suggestion gets round that kind of issue.

I'm not saying that out of a spoil-sport attitude. Really there might be benefits in it for the grid, particularly so in encouraging 'non-technical' (like myself) users to participate. If life is made unnecessarily difficult for participants, say, by having obscure means of how one reaches information that should readily be available - all there, on the page, one look - then the issue should be addressed. In the longer run it would also take some pressure off of people like yourself who do an amazing amount of work at the site.

Let me put it this way. I love it when I see that some primary school in China has decided to the participate in the grid. Good on them, how I hope the kids inculcate the idea and come to feel excitement over what it is that they are doing - including the social aspect of it. Now a kid might not understand all of the science - lots of adults might not either, though not necessarily because they can't, maybe because they don't have that level of impulse to be that involved (and is it really necessary that they do?) - but everyone understands 'a tick' and their score going up (and so on). And they might want to easily keep track of that so they can chatter about it in the playground. If that is all the level of involvement that some people feel they'd like, well fine, why not?

So, why not make it brighter. A 'little Einstein scribbling' on the webpage is understandable as 'work in progress' and it is fun. (The bald statement 'In Progress' is also understandable - but not necessarily fun and not necessarily colourful.) That's one of the things I'm trying to get at.

I don't see the point of having participants chase for information when there really isn't any reason at all why they should have to chase for it - apart from a little more thoughtfulness, and acting on it.

Thanks again Sekerob. I have a slightly better way of listing things for just now.

Sekerob, first I found your advice clever and simple and I liked it. But thinking of it again I found what does not work: the return date/time is the return date/time. Not the validation date/time... which is not available directly on this Results page. The validation date/time is what would be needed by people who need to know more, and more often than twice a day like MeToo. Fortunately they are not so many.

Cheers. Jean.

Unless I'm missing a filter option, or some else's suggestion, I would like to see 'results not pending' or 'results validated today/yesterday'.

Thanks
