Hello all, Over the past few weeks BeeIMG has been a little unstable and just wanted to clarify on what happened. In the first unstable issue which in November were caused by our server provider doing maintenance on our servers. Our AMS node got hanged up during the maintenance and had to be manually restarted. However the impact on the service was minimal and the maintenance on our CDG node affected our service as its where our databases is hosted. After the maintenance the db server had been moved to under performing hypervisor and started to slow down the site. We had to move the server again to a better server.

To combact it, now we will send confirmation email by checking out the email address manually. This will take upto 24 hours. Also the upload page has been enabled to all users, so they can upload imag
