I am teaching a class, whenever we have multiple people running the "Test these settings on image" for particle picking:

• (1) it creates a huge load on the web server,
• (2) stops other from submitting any jobs (such as CTF or stack making), and
• (3) usually results in an error especially when more than one person tries it at a time.
• (4) Does not work in Chrome or Safari

It is a great tool, but man does it create havoc. I think this has always been a problem and not related to redux, but having more than one person use the test this image is a rare event.

Needs confirmation

Egads! I have not tested this with Redux...I'll give it a try. However the feature has always been tricky and finicky. It is quite useful, so perhaps it is time to rethink the implementation.
