Mersenne: Manual Testing Forms Still Broken
To All: In the server transition, the Manual Testing Forms still seem to be broken. Can't UNreserve exponents, for example. Best Regards, Stefanovic _ Unsubscribe list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers

Hmmm The manual tests page does appear to post to entropia.com by default. :( One hack around this (until the page is changed) is to save the file to disk, load it into a text editor, find the lines that start with: form action="http://entropia.com/cgi-bin/ change these lines to: form action="http://mersenne.org/cgi-bin/ Save the file back to disk. Afterwards, load the file back into your browser *from disk*, and fill in the appropriate manual test boxes. Clicking on the "submit" buttons should then perform the task desired correctly. NOTE: Once saved and changed on disk, you don't have to redo the procedure all over again. You can instead just load the previously saved file on disk! On a side not, the thing that bothers me most about the whole thing though, is that no warning came of the time/date the switch would be made, leaving people completely in the dark. You only got a "Page Not Found" error when you attempted to get your info. As I recall, something was said about a warning being issued first the next time something like that was going to happen...

Can't UNreserve exponents, for example. Best Regards, Stefanovic I tried to reply to this earlier, but my school's proxy server was on the fritz. I appologize if it got through and this appears to be a duplicate message. I have been having problems reading some of the PrimeNet "world search status" webpages lately; it appears that they only show exponents through 9.7 M. There used to be certain versions of/addresses for the pages that worked; this is no longer the case, as far as I can tell. I intend to use George's status page until the problem is fixed; I have a good idea of which exponents are assigned to me, as I only have one machine!
