Half-serious, very low-effort idea: all stable Prime95 releases should have a code name based on a place George wants to visit for vacation.

I think 26 months qualifies as "later" (in my defense, George only asked me a week ago), but it's here now:
https://www.mersenne.org/report_proof/
Exponent report has also received some upgrades.

Nice. Please include a count, as you have done on some other reports.
It truncates results at 100 items beginning at lowest exponent, but does not say it is truncating output.
It wasn't clear at first I needed to enter a PrimeNet user name (mine) to get non-null results in some cases.
The ability to sort by date or user by clicking on column headings as offered in some other reports would be a nice addition here too.
I've already found one wayward proof file not uploaded for 2 weeks, since relocated & should be uploading, as a result of this new report option.

It's not clear to me how https://www.mersenne.org/report_expo...6828523&full=1 could have had a successful cert for the 2022-02-21 prp yet it is indicated as having no proof file uploaded

Fixed.

Be more specific, please?

It would, but a combination of column/row spanning tables, along with MSSQL weirdness, has thwarted all my attempts at making a useful sort-by, sorry.

Likely something in the database got out of sync. Clearly the proof was uploaded if it was certified. That's something George would need to look into, it's possible there are others in that state.

Starting from the generic URL, click in 'Show results from:' 'PRP'. Then new fields appear to its right;[login id or public name]me.
It wasn't clear that it required entry of my PrimeNet userid, since it already had added 'me'. Or that 'me' was clickable. Maybe an alternate color or underline on 'me' would have helped.

I've made the field required when it is, and changed the "me" link into a button showing your name (when that's not already the value of the field). Hope that's more clear, thanks for the feedback.

Subquery? Please forgive me if I'm telling you how to chew gum.

Also, huge . Nice report.

You linked me to a MySQL tutorial. If it was MySQL I wouldn't complain. MSSQL likes to be weird.

Thanks James. This new report is great. There seems to be some glitch in some lines though (see marked in attached image).
