A suggestion, if I may: Make the automatic payment feature payout the whole balance.
Currently, if I hit my threshold of say 3 BTC around noon, I don't get paid until 2300 (which is fine; I don't care about the delay). But, at that time I only get paid 3 BTC. This leaves behind a balance of whatever I made between noon and 2300, which complicates determining my hourly or 24-hour earnings.
I agree. There is quite a bit of work that needs to be done to tighten up the interface to the pool and to give miners the information that they need.
