I know this is not the moment (952,635), but I'm waiting to be 1M man ;D
Should it be possible to have the statistics of Zoo1 reported in Zoo2?
During the final rush to 1M I had four times the same galaxy in both windows of galaxy wars and once completely different from the one I was classifying

Having two windows open doesn't work for me - it always gives me the same galaxy in each :'( Perhaps I should have a spare username :D (It would sure be useful when the site is being slow!)

Zoo2 allows reconsideration of answers until the last one. Alas, I tend to click "Anything Odd = NO" while I am thinking about the oddity in view. If you click YES accidentally there is a second chance, but not when you click NO.  Is there any possibility of a second chance in the future?

Not really related to GZ2 but the forum.
I previously posted something in treads I'm no more interested, and now they come up until I open them and again every time someone post in them
Is it possible to "delete" my interest to that treads?

I think something that could be improved would be after you say if anything is odd there should be a "anything else?" Question so if there was other odd things you could say.

Ooops, sorry, I meant to reply to that! Do you mean the "notify" button thing, or do you mean delete your posts?

Errrr . . . it occurs to me I didn't reply because I don't know how - I don't use the "notify" thing at all because I read everything here.

(Begs the interruption to be excused and ducks out)

Quality answer!!

No, what we mean is if we pop into a thread and make a comment, the forum assumes that we are interested in every single post in that thread for evermore long after the replies to our actual comment have ceased.

Not sure if this is what you want but if you click on Profile (to look at your profile) and then click "Notifications and Email" on the left, there are options you can set and reset to do with replies from threads.

I have never used any of these options so don't know how they work - maybe someone familiar with these "reply" options will respond.
