Well, if you didn't notice we had some problems for the past few days. We were trying out some new database features, but our current set up couldn't handle it, so we had to switch back to the old way. So the site will run better, but it will probably still get slow at times. We are still working to find ways to improve the site's performance.
I had received a bunch of emails from users who were having problems validating their accounts. Now that the site is running better, you may want to try re-sending yourself a validation email. If you are still having problems feel free to email me at wade@newgrounds.com. Be sure to include your NG username! I'm not a mind reader.
Also the Daily Top 5 hasn't been running properly, so we are sorry for anyone who missed out on an award. If you submitted a movie during the down time and it didn't get many views you may resubmit it. Just send me the URL to the previous submission and I will delete it for you.
If you have any other concerns or questions about the recent down time, please express them by leaving a comment to this post.
