Eh? Did Gary report this already? Or is this a confirmed prime that is not listed on the 1st Drive page for whatever reason?

Edit: I just checked and it's not in the top-5000. :huh:

eh? I just saw it on the nplb.ironbits.net so posted it.
Not supposed to do that or what?

Actually, it's usually the responsibility of the user whose computer reported the prime to post it *after* they've submitted it to the top-5000, so that when we add it to the respective team-drive thread we're absolutely sure that the user was aware of the prime and has reported it to the top-5000. That way primes don't "slip through the cracks" so to speak.

Gary, what's your take on this?

No, if it is a new top-5000 prime, it should not be posted here until it is submitted on the top-5000 site by the person who found it. If you're worried that the person might have missed it, go ahead and PM them with it.

The funny thing is that I just now saw the prime, submitted it, and THEN saw it posted here. That is usually the order that I do things followed by adding it in the 1st post of this thread. I didn't have time to get on the internet late this morning before I left for home from my business trip, hence was a little late submitting it.

The reason we send PM's to searchers about new top-5000 primes is so that they don't get "stolen" by any nefarious individuals.

If it is an already known prime (i.e. confirmed), then it can be posted in this thread by anyone at any time. For those, it just doesn't matter.

I won't post about found primes in the forum again.
I'll leave that up to folks to handle.
