Are the reviewers here self-selected?

Submission on 0604
Review started on 0607
Review completed on 0716 (all three agreed, but editor requested major revisions)

Editor requested re-review on 0725 (two re-reviews, one accepted immediately, one delayed three times, from last reminder date to last call and back to last reminder date before completion, after completion editor delayed for another two days before processing, summer vacation really slowed things down to an unacceptable level)

I am the same, different editors work at different speeds, so just wait patiently.

On August 7th, entered Peer Review, and the two reviewers have not reached a consensus on the review. One reviewer has requested more time (one and a half months), and the editor has not continued to find new reviewers. What should be done in this situation? Is there anyone who knows what to do? Will new reviewers be sought after the reviewer who needs more time completes the review? Can we send an email to remind them of the progress now?

May I ask if you have continued the simulation in this situation, or is it sufficient to explain the reasons in the letter?

Can only the corresponding author or all authors receive the proofreading and payment emails? Can we see the proof in the submission system? It has been a week since production started, and there have been no further updates. My boss hasn't forwarded me any emails, so I feel awkward asking for an update.

Who will receive the proofreading email and payment email, only the corresponding author or all authors? Can we see the proof in the submission system? It has been a week since production started, but there have been no further updates. My boss has not forwarded me any emails, so I am hesitant to inquire further.

I have been on rework for three weeks as well, I don't know if it's because of the summer vacation.

It has been 23 days since the decision to review was made and there has been no progress, which is outrageous.

7.29 Assign Editor, is it normal for it to still be in this state? Are there any experts who understand this, please advise, thank you.

I am 7.29 Assign Editor, still in this status until now, and there is no email to urge. It doesn't feel like the speed of OE +1.

No movement, it's too unbelievable.

The manuscript has been accepted in the evening, without a second review, and will be accepted directly after one week of editing.

I am the same, gained nearly 10 pounds after the renovation, how about you?

Is this the speed that OE should have? It's one thing to wait for five months for the first review, but to have no updates for ten days after the final draft is accepted?

On July 16, three reviewers agreed to accept the submission, and the editor requested a major revision.

My journal was rejected in Optics Express, and they are suggesting I transfer it to another journal of Optica, which has a low impact factor. Should I do that?

No editor is assigned for more than two weeks. I am afraid. Is it a sign of desk rejection?
