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…

Ich muss mal ein paar Worte dem Wilfried widmen, der gestern meinen Kommentar gelöscht hatte und mich danach aus seiner "Freundesliste" nahm. Auch andere wurden gelöscht, wie ich es verfolgen kann. Gerade in der momentanen Zeit, kann ich das nicht so mal stehen lassen.

[New as of April 2022, latest minor edit to instructions August 2023] Since the native replace feature of our website no longer works for all file types, we are offering you an alternative replace function for photos today. How does it work? Short, summary version: - find the old picture, set it to 'private' and copy the picture number, - upload the new image, set it to 'private', click 'Replace', - paste the number of the old picture and start the process. In detail: ❶…

On January 12, 2022, Mozilla released the updated version 96.0 of the Firefox browser . This causes a log-in error with ipernity . But obviously this is not only an ipernity problem: www.ghacks.net/2022/01/13/some-firefox-users-report-connection-issues-workaround-inside As an interim solution, you can use Chrome, Opera or other browsers. If you prefer to overcome the log-in problem with Firefox, you can use the following workaround, which was published by Boarischa Krautmo : ♦…

In letzter Zeit wird die Feiheit sehr oft bemüht, als ein einzuforderndes Recht gegenüber der Gesellschaft und dem Staat. Freiheit wird dabei im Sinne eines individuellen Anspruches auf Befreiung von gesellschaftlichen Pflichten verstanden. Freiheit als das Recht des Einzelnen, bestimmte Regeln nicht zu befolgen, Befreiung von Pflichten...... Ganz konkret: Es geht um die Freiheit, das Recht, keine Maske zu tragen, sich nicht zu impfen, sich ohne Schutz zu treffen, keine Rücksicht zu nehmen...…

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…

Yesterday there was a deflagration of ether vapour at the chemical institute in Innsbruck (Austria). Such a deflagration is a fast combustion at the boundary surface between the heavy ether vapour and the lighter air above it after ignition. If the ether vapour had been swirled with the air beforehand, there would have been a huge explosion after ignition. But not a detonation . This is because in a detonation, the initial ignition creates a pressure wave that spreads through the expl…

We have now updated the Explore Groups page so that it really is a diverse and up-to-date overview of our club life. Some suggestions had to be rejected because either no descriptions existed or they were not multilingual. (After all, it gives a poor impression if a title or a description is not displayed in the language a visito…

1. Wo sind sie zu finden? Von neugierigen Besucherinnen und Besuchern oder neuen ipernity-Mitgliedern wird oft die Frage gestellt: „Wo findet man bei euch eigentlich die Kollektion der besten Bilder?“ Eine einfache Frage, aber schwer zu beantworten. Denn die ‚Galerie‘ unserer Webseite ist eher eine tagesaktuelle Show unserer populärsten Bilder. Ich verweise dann ersatzweise auf Gruppen wie: Showcase of Excellence (~ 5900 Beiträge, Kriterien: 50+FAVs / 700+visits, nur für Grupp…

Donations to compensate for the unbudgeted external IT costs caused by the malfunction now amount to 5,682EUR. We sincerely thank all donors. 2. In order to position ipernity more clearly as a non-commerci…

Ladies and gentlemen: I cannot addequately express the depth of relief of millions of Americans who have taken to the streets to celebrate the fall of this manufacturer of hate and teller of lies. There is a lot of work ahead to heal the damage he has done to my country in four years...which felt like 10. Never since our civil war have we been so divided, spoken so viciously of each other, seen so much hate toward African-Americans and Hispanic and Muslim immigrants. Under his watch, 238,000 Ame…

Version française : Veuillez faire défiler vers le bas ⬇️ Deutsche Version: Bitte nach unten scrollen ⬇️ [EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity, Unfortunately, our IT specialists were not able to repair the disruption of the upload function before Christmas. The cause is that the Amazon cloud no longer accepts the previous data transfer protocol. Solving this problem is extremely difficult, because the ipernity software is very complex, and any documentation is rather limited.…
