I think quite many users including me would appreciate if it could be possible to get information back in case of NZEC or other failures.
It shouldnt be a big deal to add the stderr info to the window that pops up when you click on the submission id.
Recently I had big trouble with two problems written in OCAML and surprisingly now also with one written in Python. And I still havent a clue at all why I get the NZECs.
It also would reduce the number of unnecessary forum entries if people could help themselves.

I disagree. All the major programming contest uses the same format, just saying runtime error without any additional info; providing this info would just give too much away.

Maybe it can be allowed for tutorial problems.
Also another bug i find is that in partial, we have no idea about what is wrong (like no TLE / WA / RE etc )
I think they must try to modify it so we can see what is exactly wrong (it just says score : 0, which is very inconclusive and confusing )

Thanks to admins, you are doing a great job.

it is impossible - user could print all useful information from test (input) data

Is there a possibilty to redirect the output to stderr when the user writes to it? So that it can be sepparated from what the compiler or interpreter produces?

Regarding partial problems, t's possible and even quite easy for a Problem Setter to write a judge that will show users a table with statuses for each test (like in MPOWER) or one that shows on which test user first got WA/TLE/RE, etc. (like in LCS).

As for the main request (regarding NZEC) it won't be changed/added, so I'm moving the thread to the archive of wishlist (wontfix).
