Would be a great place for a post like This:
A questions mark in teal next to status of wu's that pop'd a window with the very short and easy desciptions of the few statuses that exist would keep people happy and crunching. I think they're be less people turning off hpf if they understood that the inconclusives and pending validations are GOOD not BAD! I am an idiot, similar to most people. As such, when I look at my results status, and see "inconclusive" along with no granted points, I assume there is something wrong with my machine, so I start backing off overclocks, and searching forums... If instead of "Inconclusive" sitting under status, it said "Pending more validation" I wouldn't think my computer was broken. Of course this assumes that I know what "pending validation means." Which idiots like me don't. I see a very nice spot next to the "status" column header for a teal questionmark hyperlink to the status definitions. |

Charitylover, in Dutch there's an expression, which may get lost in translation: Looking further than the nose is long!....but agree a shortcut link build in the 'Status' column header of the Result Status Page would make the description list more accessible. Here is the link: Results Status page - what does xyz status mean?
----------------------------------------Meantime, don't generalize: What you are is NOT 'similar to most people' PS Typing in 'inconclusive' in the help search section brings up zero hits. The list in the xyz link might have a place in the points section there. PPS if this thread can be moved to the Suggestions / Feedback section.
