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.

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. Let's get up and dance! Request for music suggestions for the winter slideshow uploaded to YouTube.

Dear club members, dear friends, In 2017, when I was asked by William Sutherland and Lutz Petersen to help save ipernity from shipwreck, I had just turned 65. I felt too young and energetic for a tranquil retirement. So I went for it, knowing well that it would be a challenging venture full of uncertainties because no one on the founding team was a qualified IT professional. But volunteering for a worthwhile non-profit project appealed to me, and as a passionate mountaineer I was used to hand…

⏩ Version française ⏩ English version Liebe Mitglieder und Freunde von ipernity, ein turbulentes Jahr geht zu Ende. Im Alltag wurden wir mit Ereignissen konfrontiert, die am Jahresbeginn nicht ansatzweise vorstellbar waren.

Die Ursache war, dass unsere Webseite veraltete Software verwendete,…

Bienensterben in Deutschland. Der Brief einer Biene an die Menschheit: "Lasst uns nicht sterben!" Liebe Menschen, ich möchte mich kurz vorstellen, bevor ich mich mit Erklärungen und einer dringenden Bitte an euch wende. Ich bin eine Honigbiene der Rasse Carnica und mein Name tut nichts zur Sache. Wir Bienen haben es nicht so mit Namen, wir fühlen uns eher wie ein Gesamtorganismus, in dem Sonderwünsche und Einzelindividuen nicht sonderlich gefragt sind. Eher nach dem Motto: Einer fü…
