That's why it's called the "Advanced View". It's so that you can get the advanced info. I thought the simple view was for the beginners. I guess now they need to rename the "Advanced View" to the "Other Simple View".

There's always command line and log files. In Gentoo,
Code:
tail -f /var/log/boinc.log
This prints to the terminal everything that's written to the log file until you hit Control-C.
