We are aware of the fact that we need to give more user feedback in the screensaver and elsewhere. Eric Myers and Bruce Allen have talked about this in the past and I would not be surprised if there is a newer version of the screensaver being developed and tested right now.

The Einstein@Home developers have been working on issues with the back-end and other stuff that is not very visible to the users but still very important. Once those issues are worked out we will have more time to work on the user interface.

Currently our users have been making a significant contribution without totally knowing what they are working on. You are definitely appreciated. Thank you.
