Hi there
I've been a member of this project for about 1,5 year (username:Maddog) and I had no problems whatsoever so far, having completed about 80 tests in 3-4 different spec PCs.
Today though I had my first prob and I can't help wondering whether the server upgrade had something to do with it.
Specifically, I have the pending tests page showing a test (ID: 327094) for 19249x2^6117746+1 ,that was assigned on May 11, as never reported and 0% completed. The problem is this test was finished and submitted normally today, I got no obvious errors on my logs as shown below:
[Tue May 11 16:41:34 2004] got proth test from server (k=19249, n=6117746)
**blahblahblah with only the occassional "server busy" errors of the old server**
[Sun May 16 03:12:05 2004] n.high = 3713524 . 360 blocks left in test
**one week gap here since I was away on a trip**

As far as I can tell the test's progress was correctly being reported this morning at about 98% (I habitually check the pending tests page) but this evening it shows 0% and the test still pending, as if I got assigned this test but never did it at all. Still, it shows one test completed in my personal stats for today. I 'd hate to see one large test as this getting lost for no apparent reason, so if anyone would like to investigate this strange subject, I 'd be most grateful. Thanks!
