George:

If you are looking at the Pending Lab Results tab/section of your
personal account page and see something like this:

"Y-Refine37to67(Y-DNA38-47 Markers)"

or

"Y-Refine37to67(Y-DNA48-60 Markers)"

I believe what FTDNA is reporting with that notation is that you have
ordered the Y-Refine37to67 upgrade and that the one panel of the three,
i.e., the 48-60 marker panel, etc., is still not finished. FTDNA is not
releasing any results until all three panels are done ... even though
they do the new marker upgrade as three separate panels and may have two
of the panels done while awaiting the remaining third panel. I believe
the notation is telling you which panel of the three is still not
completed and thus keeping your 67 marker upgrade results in the pending
status. They have not reduced the number of markers. It is still 67.

Hope this helps.
