There have also been a few small delays in payouts. I read one post here recently that suggested the delay was months? Maybe I misread it.

Uh.....no. The delay has been - AT MOST - a few days time.

According to the current payout queue, the top 5 are 1+ month old. And I think someone stated that there was finally a payout recently where a LOT of folks were finally paid. So I'm not sure the "months" statement is wrong. (But I am new here..)

The time shown in the payout queue is slightly misleading. What it is actually showing is the time of the first share accepted after their last payout. It's effectively the date of their last payout. So, if I get a payout every couple of days; when I hit my payout limit, I'll be pushed into the queue ahead of those who get a payout every day.

Thanks, my newness to this pool is showing.

However, the payout queue does say there is 438 BTC waiting to be paid out in 18 blocks. Maybe that's not a lot to you, but it is a huge amount to me.

it's a lot for 99% of humanity. you're correct. when the site gets wonky, payouts can get pretty jammed, and this has generally be relieved by 1) some manual payouts to help clean up some, and 2) the system going through it's 'normal' payout routine. a few pages back WK or Luke-Jr explain what has to happen to do a manual payout, but i'll admit i'm too lazy to go find it at current. the simple explanation is that it sometimes takes a few days before one or the other (usually WK in my experience) does the manual payout. you'll also sometimes notice that your spot in the payout queue jumps around a bit has those who have been mining longer jump ahead, or even you jump ahead because it's been 2-3 days. I don't know about others, but I can say that with my ~330 GH/s, I generally go anywhere from 1-4 days between payouts, mainly 2-4 over the last 2 weeks, which is due to site issues (I think, but don't really know) and changes in difficulty. you'll likely see more than 18 blocks in the payout queue at some point as well.
