I know this is a bit greedy, but most new users expect for things to "just work" out of the box, and when i was getting no work units available (for any project) i assumed that there was something wrong with my settings or my computer.
please put this message:
"We've been overwhelmed with the support we're getting from new Donors.

Several servers ran out of [Work Units] overnight. The issue is being addressed as fast as the project's owner can get to it. Unfortunately the server(s) may have to be taken off-line while the new WUs are being generated.
Please bear with us."
