i don't even want to think this is the new 'standard of entry', but i can't put that beyond cryptics ability to think it's a good idea to do.

if it is (Q forbid) you idea is reasonable and beyond cryptics ability to provide.

i think waiting 15-30 mins to get into the editor is not a good idea in anyone's book, even if they do page me to tell me my table is ready.

15 - 30 minutes? You're lucky. After an hour, I purposely crashed my client. Got tired of waiting.

There must be better ways of managing server load than this, especially if the queuing system is bugged as it appears to be.

Sittin' in a queue, watchin' it go from 5, to 3, to 0. Sittin' in a queue. And so we wait.

If in fact the Foundry isn't letting people in, I hope someone lets us know that.

I think it just needs to go back to the way it was before they broke it. A queuing system is ridiculous. If this ever makes it to the live server the wait times will be in days, not minutes or hours if it stays like this.

Yep, it is broke all right. My major woe on this issue is the constant crashing. My CTD averages around 1 out of 5 preview runs. Also, the Foundry never functioned more than an hour without CTD. I need to run a lot of previews to align elements properly. This quene means I wait in line for 5-10 mins, do some work, crash out after 5-10 mins then wait in line again... Good to encurage me to do other stuff, like spend time with the family, code YHTK, watch Star Trek or sleep, but rather annoying when I want to get something done.

I've seen the Trademark attributed to Auran games (now N3V) starting back in 2000.
