Hi,
I started crunching data 2 days ago. Great client.
My comments concern some improvements I'd like to see on the Web side.
1- Keep me logged in so I don't have to enter my e-mail /pw all the time I open a browser. Cookies have their opponent but they would be in good use here.
2 - Don't have IE to confirm I resend data. It may be a IE issue, I can't find the option to check or uncheck. Could also be the way the client is identified. Again, cookies might do the trick, I guess.
3- Don't display all the graphs on my mains stats page. I hardly ever pay attention to it (I guess I'm not the one), they are quite static and they take time to download. It it not without interest though, so why not put it on a different page. The top tens could also be moved aside too, with a link from the home page. Most of the time all I want to see is my score, my rank, how poorly I compare to you, the best cruncher of all.
5- A feature I miss from other DC projects is having way to compare the performances of my (2) PCs. It doesn't add to the scientific side of the project but it is expected from volunteers.
Just my 2 cents worth.

P.S. I'm no statistician, but with the amount of data your workstations have crunched (almost 50% of the total), I'd have expected your username to appear in the top 10. Your best molecule is not even close to the top 10. Is there any explanation to that other that bad luck? :confused:
