Hi Maria,
Our new database server is online and tuned up - the Submissions page should be fine and quicker than ever. In fact the entire site is caffeinated today.
If it's been a long time since you visited any particular page such as Submissions, and have some trouble with it, I would suggest pressing 'Ctrl-F5' (or the equivalent keyword combo in your country, e.g. Germany = Strg.F5) to do a hard refresh. We always try to update the scripts on the page so that things upgrade smoothly, but it's possible you have an old version of some script kicking around in your browser.
Einochi; although we never claimed to have a direct 'first-come, first-served' policy (which is due to our lack of upload quantity restrictions), a month is a pretty far out for approval times. We have had some Reviewers off lately for various reasons but things are speeding up not slowing down. I will have a look and see if you or any others have neglected content.
