Asterisk in Primenet Account Report

[jinydu]

I seem to recall asking this question before quite a long time ago, but I forgot the answer, so I'm asking again. Sorry.

What does the asterisk mean next to 32934911?

I'd like to add that the asterisk can stay even after the trial factoring has finished. This is because the new client (since v 24.12?) doesn't factor as deep as the older ones, and the primenet server doesn't seem to know about this fact. An example of four of my exponents in first-time tests:

To add to this question, what does the F in the same column mean? I thought it meant a prefactoring assignment, but I have a bunch of F's in my account report.

It means that the exponent will be factored only; no LL testing.

Yes, that's what I meant I thought it meant. I don't know if I've ever started any exponents with F's next to them, but I know for a fact I haven't ever requested factoring assignments. In fact in my worktodo.ini file they're all listed as LL tests.
