[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) More than 250 club members have already subscribed for several years. This indicates great confidence in the future of ipernity. In addition, contributions for subsequent years are already being paid into the club's budget. This enables us to begin those modernisation measures that can only be carried out with the help of external service providers earlier than intended. 2) Of the more than 120 new club registrations of 2019, only 58 ar…

In reply to our various calls for candidatures for the mandates of Vice-President and Treasurer, the following three persons have come forward: Blue rubber octopus (Ben Mesander) - as Vice-President.

In this respect, he fits our spirit. In his professional life he works as an executive leader of s…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The restart of ipernity after the maintenance work was unfortunately somewhat rough. This was caused by one of two backup servers which have been additionally integrated. But from now on ipernity should run to our all advantage with enlarged security reserves. 2) For the announced cleanup of the ipernity database, all necessary tools are implemented now. The cleanup itself will take place in the background during the next days and can also…

Or: "I'm not interested in our…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1. Tomorrow the meteorological winter begins. Therefore we have switched the ipernity front page to "winter operation". Once again, we would like to thank the photographers who contributed with their pictures to create a versatile collection. 2. In order to disturb the ongoing operation as little as possible, the cleaning of the database was switched to individual account processing. To be on the safe side, each individual account history is…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. The ipernity homepage. You can now click on the artist's name to go directly to the original photo. This will pause the slideshow ready for your return, after viewing the original. This new link will hopefully be beneficial to the artist as well as to non-members who will see exactly what our main individual photo pages look like. 2. Group highlight. A group that had lain dormant for many months now has a new admin team. New admin, Roger, w…

[EN] We are thinking about the possibility of browsing ipernity on black background, by clicking somewhere at the upper right corner. Here's a mockup of what the "on black" mode could be. Before we decide to implement this feature or not, we'd like to get your opinion and ideas about it. So feel free to leave a comment under this article! [FR] Nous réfléchissons actuellement sur la possibilité de parcourir ipernity sur fond noir, en cliquant quelque part dans le coin supérieur droit.…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The first pass to remove invisible content from the ipernity database has been completed. 14.6 TB of residual data (5.8 million files) from more than 10 years of operation were deleted. At the current exchange rate (USD/EUR = 1.13), this corresponds to an operating cost saving of EUR 6,944 per year from January 1, 2019. 2.2 TB of data from orphaned accounts that are harder to identify, are yet to be deleted. This can save a further EUR 1,037 i…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) We apologize that ipernity was temporarily unavailable last Saturday. A recently requested renewal of the website security certificate had not been executed technically. Resolving this problem in the early hours of a Saturday was a big challenge for the team but we succeeded and downtime was minimized. With regard to another dysfunction (concerning the payment service Skrill) you'll get a separate information soon. 2) In January, ima will se…

[EN] Dear club members of ipernity! In view of private and professional worries of many members due to the Corona crisis, the ima team discussed whether the general meeting should be postponed. We have decided not to do so. After all, the virus has not yet reached most of us, even though the fear has gone around and we are already experiencing many restrictions in our everyday lives. Fortunately, these do not affect communication via ipernity, which for many members is an important par…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The image editing via PicMonkey works again. The manufacturer of this program has repaired its interface. 2) But there is free access only to the old version of PicMonkey. This is based on the Adobe Flash Player, whose days are numbered because the technology is outdated: why-is-adobe-flash-player-shutting-down 3) It is therefore to be expected that this old version of PicMonkey will not be online for much longer. We recommend you to…
