Dear members and friends of ipernity, Seasons Greetings! With the coming change of season we are reminded that we are a global community. We are happy that here on our website we are able to enjoy, both the cold low winter light and the brightness of hot summer. What a pleasure to share these moments with each other. We are thankful for this community which shows us how varied our world is. Peace be with you. 1. Statement from our Club President about AI images. We've noticed th…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Bulletin from our club president. On 7 October 2023 we were presented with a claim for monetary damages from a well-established and reputable German-headquartered company that specializes in obtaining compensation from intellectual property theft (e.g. copyright infringements) because of the actions of an ipernity member. He is now a past member because his account was promptly deleted along with the image that had been uploaded without the photog…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Revised Landing Page. The selection of images for the Landing Page has been made, and the software update implemented, see Explore . You will note that the image changes each time the page is refreshed. This is on a random basis, so you might get the same image twice, but most of the time it will be different. We hope that this refresh, suggested by our membership, helps new members engage with the text and our website, and that our current me…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. The ipernity homepage. You can now click on the artist's name to go directly to the original photo. This will pause the slideshow ready for your return, after viewing the original. This new link will hopefully be beneficial to the artist as well as to non-members who will see exactly what our main individual photo pages look like. 2. Group highlight. A group that had lain dormant for many months now has a new admin team. New admin, Roger, w…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Picture-in-picture (PiPs) in lightbox. The full screen 'Lightbox view [z]' now displays PiPs. It does not allow you to edit your own PiPs, but the feature is designed to help you be aware of PiPs when viewing other people's photos. The outline rectangles appear as you move the mouse, and then fade out when you stop moving the mouse. This is unlike the main photo page where they are always visible when the mouse is over the photo. The recta…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Outreach support needed (advisory position). For our club to have a good future, it needs to be better known. Therefore, we need to promote ipernity. There are many ways to do this. Some of them have already been put in place. But we need someone who has a little time to keep these activities alive. New ways of promoting ipernity could also be found. Advisors would coordinate with the team, but have autonomy to run their own projects. There is…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Website update: Improved album listing when uploading Until now, if you wanted to put a photo into one of your albums, it was often difficult to find this. This was because your albums were previously displayed based on the order in which they were created, with the most recent albums on top (see the following illustration, left-hand). In addition, the list was limited to fifty albums. This limit was expandable, but it was cumbersome. The di…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Let's get up and dance! Request for music suggestions for the winter slideshow uploaded to YouTube. There was feedback that the music chosen for the autumn slideshow was too melancholic. For the winter, 'Chris de Burgh / When Winter Comes' is envisaged. Do you have a better idea? Make your suggestions in a comment below. Note : Proposals need to be instrumental music of about 3 minutes duration. The music should be accompanying music…
