Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Additional viewing size option. When viewing group contributions, the 'Small' option displayed the 100px images. Everywhere else, the display used the cropped 75px squares. Beside the existing icon for this option, now labeled 'Square', there is a new icon for the 100px option, labeled 'Small'. The view of group contributions gains the 'Square' option, which provides a larger overview of the content. The Explore->Gallery and Explore->Noteworthy d…

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) Is a group active? In order to support the current efforts by our members to improve the perception of groups, especially to visitors, a new feature has been added to assist them. On a group's homepage, the blue (?) icon beside 'Latest contributions' shows how long ago the most recent image was added to the group. Additionally, this is available via the [ i ] under each image. This is the date that a user agrees to a suggestion, or when a g…

[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…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) Based on a member initiative the articles in the English and German Wikipedia have been updated to reflect the new status of ipernity. A Dutch version is currently being prepared. In order to update the articles in other languages such as French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish but also Esperanto and others we kindly ask for your help and to raise your hand. We would also be grateful, if we could find a volunteer, who will coordinate all Wiki…

Photo credit: Landschaft im August - Landscape (cc) Marcel [EN] Try out our brand new lightbox with WIDER photos! You can launch the lightbox from individual photo pages by clicking on the photo, or from any page where this button appears: Of course, the size of a displayed picture depends on its original size and on the max size its author allows you to see. This is a good occasion to remind you that you can check up your settings for your own photos here .…

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…

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…

[EN] After listening to your first comments, here are some adjustments we are currently working on: - comments : replies to replies will come back, permalinks also, as soon as we find the right technical solution and a good layout (we don't want to infinitely shift the replies on the right). We were probably stupids to think that one level of reply was enough. Sorry for that! - home page customization : more blocks of content and more settings for each block (what content, what layout)…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) As you know, our community received ipernity "as it is". With regard to the database it unfortunately consists a lot of spam and abandoned accounts. Nevertheless we have made good progress in removing a lot of them. This removals have no impact on the excellent content of ipernity that you have contributed. 2) While we're at it we are analysing the whole database. This work is not yet finished, but the first evaluation is strengthening our c…

**EDIT: problems should be solved now ( learn more ) Hello Flickr Friends, There are so many of you today wanting at the same time to move to ipernity, import your thousands of photos and organise them. The problems that you may encounter (the site being slower than usual, impossible to create albums, adding photos to groups etc.) are due to this exceptional situation. In general the actions you have requested do not take effect immediately but a few minutes later. We are do…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) Meanwhile IMA has gained access to the ticket log for “Help & Contact” and going forward will address issues.

We will be doing our best to answer in a timely manner. 2) Weeks ago people have asked an option to allow free guest accounts for family and friends. We recently di…

We have received the following motion from our member Berny : "For members of the "Club", in addition to the nickname, the full clear name (first and last name) and at least the country of origin must be visible to other members of the "Club". Only then are commenting, the function as administrator of groups or other special functions possible. Otherwise Ipernity would not be a "Club", although this is precisely what is always emphasised, that we are a "Club" and not a normal photo si…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The widescreen mode of explore/whatshot/photos and explore/whatshot/videos has been further optimized. Expressed wishes have been taken into account as far as possible. In addition, the layout was harmonized with the display of 'Photos' and 'Groups'. The widescreen button has been moved to the drop-down Display menu (see 2), and the setting is remembered for use as your browse.…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The Insert media function in the blog editor works again . From now on embedded video and audio files can even be played without Flash Player . (Please note that the maximum blog length is about 60,000 characters. This corresponds to about 40 manuscript standard pages. Longer articles should be subdivided - also with respect to reader-friendliness.) 2) The image processing with PicMonkey also works again . The temporary failure was a…
