I tried again today, still nothing. Created a new account and was accepted, but then when I try to log in I get "Access to account restricted. Please check your email for instructions". Is the beta still going on or what?

I'm not one of the Beta testers, but last time I checked the section/thread for 19.1 it was obvious others had similar issues, even after the " server " fix. Perhaps one of the testers here on MT can try and mention you.

How long will it take for the beta to be realized on our end, how long does it usually take? It's been in testing since late Feb.
