They represent how many decic and septic fields you have found. Decics are degree 10 and septics are degree 7. The septic search completed a couple years ago, so there are no more of those left to find.

No, unfortunately that's not feasible.

It would be a strain on the database to try and retain all of that information for each user. It's also because each field has many representative polynomials, so each field is actually found multiple times by many different users. So you don't have the same kind of uniqueness as you do in say a Mersenne prime search, where the thing being searched for is very rare and can easily be associated with a single user. I hope that explains things.
