Dear members and friends of ipernity,
As the world turns, our global membership is experiencing changes in the weather from one season to another. For many it is the cold arriving for winter, but for others the warmth of summer or mild fluctuations at their equatorial locals.
Whichever way your seasons flow, we wish you a Happy New Year!
1. User Interface Improvements
1a. Membership renewal by bank transfer
In an effort to make the method for bank transfer membership renewals more clear, we have updated the message one sees on the renewal page. This message now includes your personal member account id that needs to be given to your bank. This allows us to know which member account to credit.
[Note that PayPal membership renewals are reflected on ipernity within a few minutes.]
1b. Clear notice about loss of content
We never want members to lose photos, so to be as clear about our club website's policies, we have added a new notice on the ipernity account page. Please know that this is not a change in policy, only a clarification.
2. General Assembly IGA 2023
Information will be coming soon about the upcoming IGA meeting to be held in March. Our club president makes the final decision, but we are considering Saturday, March 25th, 6pm CET for the meeting date and time.
Get ready to submit proposals, run for election, and sing songs! (Just kidding, you don't have to sing if you don't want to.)
3. Groups, Groups and more Groups!
Our club's website is used in many different ways by our diverse membership. One use is to join together in a group. One type of group that can be enjoyed here is a challenge group. A highly active example of a challenge group here on ipernity is Happy Fence Friday. In this group members gather at the "back fence" and say hi!
We have at least one challenge group for each day of the week. Examples are: The Sunday Challenge, Macro Mondays, Happy Tuesday Table, Happy Wednesday Wall, Orange Thursdays, Fridays for Future and Saturday Self-Challenge.
Groups come in all shapes and sizes. One thing stays the same, however, the more one engages with a group, the more fun it is.
Your ima team

The admin of the groups:
Saturday Self-Challenge and Macro Mondays
Would be happy to welcome you and answer any questions about the group
and help you become a part of it.
Greetings and a healthy 2023
Et MERCI les ami(e)S...
Danilo 2023.
Many thanks for these constructive and clear information.
A new IGA is already on the horizon!! May it be mobilising and guarantee the perenniality ('iperniality') of our dear site that each member animates in a so beautiful way.
Payments from outside, for example from Switzerland, cause high fees. From outside SEPA, only Paypal should be used.
raingirl club has replied to Bergfex clubPer i gruppi:
1) il Lunedì c'è anche HBM "Happy Bench Monday"
2) Ci sono molti gruppi, in cui i post dipendono dall'approvazione di un admin o di un moderatore, che non sono tenuti sotto controllo né da admin né da mod. Si vedono post solo di questi due tipi di membri e le pending queues sono eterne, sebbene almeno uno degli admin e mod siano attivi su ipernity quasi tutti i giorni.
Per favore, invitate admin e mod a controllare periodicamente i loro gruppi, grazie
David G Johnson club has replied to Nora Caracci clubraingirl club has replied to Nora Caracci clubAnd it is a great reminder to group administrators to keep an eye on their group's pending queues, but also, if group inclusions are not moderated, to check the additions regularly to be sure they are in line with the intent of the group.
Any group that one doesn't want to administer can be passed to another member - perhaps simply ask the group member with the most contributions.
Groups that aren't being used can be deleted or archived (close the group to new contributions - and make a note of that by adding "closed" to the end of the title of the group).
Rob Stamp club has replied to Roger (Grisly) clubMay I ask if your concern is just the small panel on your 'News' page,
or the full page www.ipernity.com/network/members/guess
Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Rob Stamp clubTeam club has replied to Roger (Grisly) clubIf an account is still active (which means it is either a paid up club account, or a guest account that has been used within 3 years), then that account will continue to show up in appropriate places throughout our website. Accounts of deceased members will naturally drop away after 3 years unless family members continue to pay for a club membership for the account.
While it is technically a possibility to change the programming to keep accounts of deceased members off of the small panel on the news page, this is not something we think we should do. There are multiple reasons for our decision. One reason being that some people may want to find such accounts and their associated photos.
I hope you can understand our decision.
Note that on known deceased member accounts, we place note on the most recent upload and in their guest book stating that they are deceased and pointing people to the 'in memoria' page. I hope that this can help eleviate any confusion you might be having when clicking on such accounts.
Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Team clubTeam club has replied to Roger (Grisly) clubYour idea for an option to remove the panel is one we will keep as a possible idea for the future as we like to give as many layout optoins as we can, but we aren't going to attempt to implement that now.
Hopefully Rob's idea for you, to 'black list (block)' a member will help you with your issue now.
es war überfällig, dass die Verlängerung von ipernity künftig auch per Bankeinzug möglich ist.
Bergfex club has replied to Cämmerer zu Nau clubIm Artikel geht es um die Option der SEPA-Überweisung! Die ist schon seit 2017 möglich, macht dem - ehrenamtlichen - ima-Team aber viel Arbeit. Man sollte sie möglichst nicht nutzen.
