Julius and I have been working on a design mockup for the ExoneraTor service for the past few months and would want to hear what you think about this:

Good job! This new page looks a lot fresher.
Logo: I'd like a version of the third one in which the fingerprints were more or less aligned to the onion layers on the original Tor logo, keeping the correct perspective and all that.
Dates: I was going to suggest 3 separate comboboxes to prevent users from entering wrong formats, but if Joshua's solution works without javascript, then it's a killer. Would be nice that the fallback on older browsers were those 3 combos.
Results: do we really need the "Exit: yes" column? Seems pretty redundant to me. Also, there seems to be 24 rows with white background, then 24 with light grey bg. If the search returns eg. 30 results, then only the last 6 would be in grey, and users could potentially think there's something special about those. I'd use a much smaller number, eg. 5 at most, so it's obvious that the background is just there for aesthetic reasons.
The main idea behind this redesign was to simplify the existing ExoneraTor service by omitting technical details (e.g., Tor descriptor contents) and removing mostly unused features (e.g., parsing detailed exit policies).
Maybe a link to a "Technical details" could still be kept for the most weirdos among us :), containing some more details. Not the full gore we have now, but something like platform, bandwidth, exit policy... things that could be explained to your sister in 5 minutes.
Just my 2sat,
