"Error generating Preview"

adamsmith
A lot of the styles I've been submitting don't generate a preview on the repository with the above error message. (Hydrological Science Journal, Harvard Anglia Ruskin e.g.)
Obviously the styles validate and work fine once installed - what's the problem? Do I need to do something differently?

    The preview functionality isn't entirely real-time at the moment. Updated styles will currently show up within 15 minutes, but the previews may take longer. I've just changed it so that previews should be updated within an hour, but we'll work to get immediate preview generation hooked up.

    Those styles above are now fixed, in any case.

    thanks Dan - appreciate the heads up.

    There seems to be a problem with the citation style preview again. Any styles dated after 2011-11-04 seem to be generating an error and not an actual preview. I discovered the problem with the Harvard Anglia Ruskin 2011 style, but have noticed it on other styles on the list.

    stvn-s: Fixed. Thanks.

    @Dan Stillman, quite a few users that contribute styles become alarmed by the "Error generating Preview" message in the style repo. Could it be renamed to something more informative, such as the following?

    "No Preview Available (it takes some time to generate previews for recently updated styles) "
