Tony,
I had the same feeling about those images that StarDust said I clicked ... but
I think it was not because of "looking too soon". StarDust has a clever
innovation (at least I haven't seen it done with online apps before) whereby it
preloads the next movie while you check the current movie. With broadband, you
gotta be really fast to get ahead of the preload! (With dial-up, of course, you
gotta be patient all the time!)
The loading progress bar (upper right) tells the story about when the current
movie and the next movie are ready for analysis. That seems to work well.

Hi, Tavi--
Congrats on getting through 500 real movies, and sorry to hear of your
problem. I don't see anything amiss in my events list: 10 candidates, 3 of
them mildly suspicious (each selected by ~1/4 of the several dozen people
who have viewed them), the rest unlikely to be real. Several baffled me at
first, as to why I had clicked them; finally I realized that I must not have
let the entire image load before examining and clicking on it, as there were
dust trail-like spots at partial focus depths that disappeared when the full
focus depth was achieved.

I am so disheartened. My Events List contains several movies that I would
never mark as candidates, and does not contain several movies that I DID
mark as candidates.
Could an IP address cause an error like this? I was in my SLOOH chatroom
once, and a particular member was identified as another member. And that
other member was unable to log in - the message being that he was already
logged in, which of course, he was not. ... It turned out that the IP
addresses were somehow causing the confusion.
I am so disappointed today. All that time I spent. I finally broke 500
real movies viewed last night. Yes, I know its no 1,000 or 2,500 ;) but I
worked terrible hours to fit those in.
I posted to the Forum.
Has anyone else looked through their Events List?
Tavi
