Many browsers do. You can set the link color, use that color always, set the visited links color, use that color always, etc. You can also set "always underline links", or "always reverse video" (i.e foreground and background colors are reverted), and other settings for "visually impaired" or "paranoid" users.

I would not use a browser which has none of these options. Even the old Netscape could do it.

The team summary page has been revamped. There is a little error though : at least the "team last CPU activity", the "most recent activity" and "least recent activity" are respectively the first, least recent and most recent dates. An inverted comparison ?

Team created 		2008-10-23
Team info last updated	2008-10-23
Team last CPU activity	2008-12-31
Number of members	2
Most Recent Activity	2008-12-31
Least Recent Activity	2015-10-28

This should be something like :

Team created 		2008-10-23
Team info last updated	2008-10-23
Team last CPU activity	2015-10-28
Number of members	2
Most Recent Activity	2015-10-28
Least Recent Activity	2008-12-31

I haven't looked at that page in a while (since I put the new design out there). Seems like you might be right and that it's just using the wrong dates or something. I can take a look at it... it does seem weird the way it is now but I'll have to dig under the hood to see what's up. My own "team" probably isn't a good test candidate since I'm the only member (I created the team just to test that part of the website). I suspect it could be related to teams with multiple members and however it scans across them all to see when the last activity was, or something like that.

I've identified the problem and a fix, just waiting on a sanity check to make sure I'm looking at it correctly before I implement.

Okay, I had James look over my fix just as a double-check. I've implemented the fix, so go ahead and try the /team/ page again and it should have the correct dates now.

I couldn't check with my own because with only one account in the team my oldest and most recent dates were the same.

Try a smaller example; say http://www.mersenne.org/M1017607 (somewhat randomly chosen).
That renders details, on this day including an assignment with link http://www.mersenne.org/assignments/?exp_lo=1017607
Exercising that, it was than a surprise to see it attempt to gratuitously show all assignments from 1017607 up to 35000000.
Apparently a default exp_hi=35000000 was applied.

I looked and indeed it seems correct now. The team I looked at is almost in the same state as yours, I created it for testing in 2008, one other user joined it (by error I think) and submitted one result.

Thanks for all your good work,

Jacob

I noticed that the other day too. Yeah, weird. Any starting # you put in, if it's below 35M it sets the high exponent to that. Not sure why. Might have even been something I did when tweaking that page a while back for the new design. I kind of remember doing something with the way options were defaulted.

I'll see if I can't fix that up.

EDIT: And... fixed. I remember what it was... I set that page to default to the 34M-35M range if nothing was specified (that was the DC range being finished at the time). It was still defaulting to 35M for the upper range if it wasn't specified at all. Oops, yeah that was my my bad. I fixed it to default to the same as the lower exponent if the upper wasn't specifically put in.

Confused how this can happen?

Hmm... I can see the work type in the database but I honestly have no idea what that value means (it's an integer). The DB was missing lookup tables for some of these types so I created the ones that I could think of and then dug into the website code to see what it did. That way I could match my SQL queries to what the website uses without having to memorize it all.

At some point I probably updated that report to use my SQL lookup table directly to be efficient, but I still never did find out what that particular work type is.

I probably figured that if I couldn't figure out what work type it is, it probably couldn't be assigned to anyone either. Guess I was wrong... I'll have to dig deeper.

EDIT: I *think* it's a work type for TF, but specifically for LMH. I'm just going to go with that for now.

EDIT again: I've kind of confirmed... it's the type of work you get when you select "trial factoring to low limits" from the client. Is/was that a part of the Lone Mersenne Hunters thing? I'm trying to make sense of some comments in the code.
