[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…

For boys born before 1960, Meccano was as memorable a part of childhood as school or Christmas. Invented in 1901 by Frank Hornby, and produced in Liverpool for over 70 years, it is said to have engendered generations of engineers, the very backbone of Britain’s industrial greatness. The Meccano Guild, open to boys across the Empire, rivalled the Scout movement in promoting clean living and wholesome pursuits, Meccano in particular. In its heyday in the 1930’s, the company had agencies in 36 c…

Naturismus: Auszug aus Wikipedia: Nacktheit als Normalität: gemeinsam nackt sein in Natur und Freizeit als das Grundprinzip der Freikörperkultur. Die Freikörperkultur (als Abkürzung: FKK, teilweise synonym mit dem älteren Begriff Nacktkultur sowie den international üblichen Begriffen Naturismus und Nudismus) bezeichnet die gemeinschaftliche (oder auch die einzelne*) Nacktheit aller Geschlechter in Freizeit, Sport und Alltag. Anliegen ist dabei die Freude am Erlebnis der Natur, am Nacktsei…

[en eo fr nl es it rus] 1 Mein 90. Geburtstag Am 21.01.2022 war er endlich gekommen. Ich war gesund. Am Samstag, den 22.01. durften wir den Geburtstag feiern. Mein Haus war geräumig genug. Meine 3 Kinder - 2 Schwiegersöhne 1 Schwiegertochter und ebenfalls alle 10 Enkelkinder waren da. Wie angenehm ich brauchte mich um nichts zu kümmern. Der Tag verlief friedlich und ha…

Die Herkunft meines Geburtsnamens Lilleike ist ungeklärt. Mein Vater Kurt Lilleike berichtete, dass einer seiner Lehrer vermutet habe, der Name könnte kleine Eiche (lill eike) bedeuten und während des Dreißigjährigen Krieges aus Schweden nach Ostpreußen gekommen sein. Die Ahnenrecherche meines Vaters reichte nicht weiter zurück als bis ins 18. Jahrhundert und nicht über die Grenzen Ostpreußens hinaus, mal abgesehen von einem kleinen Zweig, der nach Südafrika gegangen ist. Seit wann Eichen…

In the wee small hours of 7th January 2019, my wonderful father died. May his katra Rest In Peace. ~~~~ Birthday memories ... 23rd March 2024 - where have the past five years gone ? they went past in what seems to have been a brief flash, on waking this morning I didn't feel quite as bereft as I usually do at this time of year. Sleep well Patro, I miss you ! e2aa - Somewhat similar to what happened last year, four years seems to have passed in a brief flash and this morning I felt the loss very keenly. E2A - This morning I awoke to feelings that the last three years seem like yesterday, not that I slept particularly well. [This is a very personal sense of loss and I am not decrying all the suffering and deaths from the pandemic, quite the opposite] I typed my first version of this before dawn on 7th Jan 2022, deleted it and tried again. It would have been his 103rd birthday on 23rd March 2022 (1919 to 2019) and I doubt he would have managed to get to 104 [23rd March 2023] ... Father's Day in the UK on 18th June 2023. Always a sad day, I miss the opportunity to send himself some bad esperanto in an humourous card. ~~~~ this links to an image www.ipernity.com/doc/312383/47955110 in my photos entitled "CAS - esperantist" (which was in the Ipernity Frontpage and What's Hot group on 3rd March 2019)

We have added a new feature for users with Standard (or Plus) Club membership. When viewing photos with the 'small' option (where the images are all cropped to square), there is now a mouse-over effect that shows the 240 pixel image. This allows you to see a larger uncropped preview of the image before deciding to visit the photo page. Just like the popup when you mouse-over a user's name, there is a short delay to avoid the annoyance of having a popup whenever the mouse goes over an image…

[EN] Against all odds A year–end message from the ima–Team It was in December 2016 when the founder and CEO of Ipernity S.A., Christophe Ruelle, announced the closing of the platform ipernity.com by January 2017. (1) It’s now the end of 2017 and ipernity is still online. What happened? Of course, members were scared, disappointed and started looking for alternatives to Ipernity. But true alternatives were (and are) hard to find. Quite a bunch of users moved over to flickr – bu…

Was macht man nach 9 Jahren ipernity? Ich wollte gerade meinen Clubaccount ein weiteres Mal um 24 Monate verlängern, und sehe nun, dass nur noch die Wahl zwischen 3 oder 3 Monaten (mit einem kleinen Rabatt, dann nehme ich doch die drei Monate?!?) besteht, wundere mich, und lese dann im Teamblog die ätzenden Nachrichten.

(EN) For few days, christophe Ruelle's false accounts are created. These are SPAM. If you receive a message telling that you won the ipernity lottery, ignore it and contact us immediately. We'll destroy this account. Everyday, we check all new users to avoid this situation but it's not always enough...:( We apologize for this inconvenience.

[EN] Dear friends Just to let you know that we are currently moving our technical platform to a new and powerful cloud. This is an important step to make ipernity faster and more scalable. We could not wait anymore, so this project started on September and will last until mid-December. In the mean time, bug fixing had to be interrupted. That's the reason why some known problems still occur (black videos, private thumbs in news pages, Picasa uploading...). But be sure they will be fixed as…

Maybe the only way to get rid of these ants is to blow up the house...

Hello all, The entire ipernity Team whishes you all the best for this new year. We hope you have started 2014 very cheerfully! Here is some quick news to let you know what is going on and the different types of projects that we are currently working on: - safe surf : a safe mode is going to be available in a few weeks.

How many times has it happened to you that you've uploaded some pictures but they're not in the order you wanted? And then you can't figure out how to change the position, and you don't even know if it's possible to do? HOW FRUSTRATING!! ARGH!!! Trust me, I've been there...it's totally annoying! The good news is that you can change the order of your pictures easily once you understand how it works. This is how to do it: 1. Choose "Organize" at the top of the screen to the right of the…

Here are just a few things that I believe I've learned from my recent heart attack. While I feel great (best I've felt in about ten years), I guess it's time I stop and reflect about what's just happened to me. Two weeks ago, I could have told you I was in perfect health and didn't take any medications. The fact is, you "are what you eat." I've been consuming greasy fast-food for probably close to 37 years now (since I left home in my early 20's), and it finally caught up with me. Watch y…

It's been a couple of months now since Flickr exploded, and there are still plenty of people who are moving to ipernity. I'm one of them, and after joining ipernity back in May, I can safely say that my home here is every bit as rewarding as it was back on Flickr...but it's even better! :) The mere idea of moving to a new home seemed like an impossible task, but I found out that it's very easy to transfer your pictures--even if you have thousands of images--and you can also transfer your alb…
