Yay! The gates are open and welcome Flickr testers. We are now in what is considered our preview release 1 of public beta. We’ll be fixing bugs, monitoring scaling issues on the back end, and adding a few features before going into preview release 2. Then we’ll go into preview release 3 and then when that’s good to go the beta period will be officially over.

We’re not taking bug reports right now while we work through our list of known bugs. But we appreciate all your comments and suggestions and are implementing a lot that have come directly from our users.
