Anyone else having issues accessing the Foundry?

I bought my slots on the foundry about a year or so ago and now when I log in on my character screen I can see the button to create content but it is greyed out. Is anyone else having this issue? The only thing I can think of is if you have to create on Tribble but I thought you could from Holodeck. Any ideas?

    It's down on purpose right now.

    This happens every time they update a season to make sure nothing is broken after the update.

    NP

    Right now there's a couple problems. Reach markers aren't showing up in the right place, and the re-publishing was taking too long.

    Hopefully they fix these soon!

    The two most recent spotlights, Purity chapters 5 and 6, came back already, and some of the story missions are back. My own "Bait and Switch" (which tends to be fairly long, depending on your equipment, and generally speaking longer missions pay better) came back first day, although it's got a couple of bugs that need fixing (mostly my fault, but I've also got the reach marker bug the big Z spoke of).

    I think republishing was halted sometime before Friday and BranFlakes said it would resume "during next maintenance" which would be tomorrow (I was hoping maybe they'd do more than one maintenance cycle like they did last week, but no dice).

    Is it known if the Foundry will be back online today?

    It will get online as soon as all the missions are republished. And that would probably still take a while...

    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    Missions are already coming back. We'll probably have editing back this weekend.

    I'm also experiencing this issue. Neither can I access my Foundry character nor can I find the mission I made.

    Yes, Foundry editing is still down due to some tough gremlins in the republishing system. That's all I know at this time.

    There have been auto republishing problems every single season launch since the Foundry was introduced, why do you guys even bother? Its always buggy and slow and brings back a bunch of clickies, grinders, and other stuff that you've removed in the past. Wouldn't it be faster, easier, and help clean out the database to maybe just auto republish the spotlight stuff and have authors manually republish the missions they want live?
