For other languages: ipernity club members may use the integrated translator at the end of this article. (Visitors: Please use DeepL Translator or install an add-on that suits your browser.) Sometimes when we ask our members to submit photos for the ipernity homepage, they answer: "I don't know it at all. I've been a member of ipernity for many years and never visit the homepage." 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) Notes for new members. It was a task for the Moderator to send an ipermail to new members with useful information. This would inevitably not be at the instant of registration. It also required a decision on who to exclude as likely spammers. The text is now available in our 7 supported languages, as item 1.6 in the FAQ section. We view this as an overall improvement, while accepting the loss of the personal touch. This is mitigated by community bein…

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] 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] 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 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 == Sorry if the platform was sometimes unacessible these last days... we're still working to optimize some services... We expect to stabilize everything during the week-end. Thank You for your understanding. == FR == Excusez-nous si la plate-forme a été parfois indisponible ces derniers jours. Nous optimisons certains services actuellement. Tout devrait être stabilisé pendant ce week-end. Merci de votre compréhension.

[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…

[EN] Dear Members, we want to inform you about the progress of the transfer process contemporarily today: 1) Unfortunately there are still technical difficulties with regard to the transfer of the bank accounts from IPERNITY S.A. to IMA, concerning use of certain credit cards. We are working to solve those problems. In this context there are also technical difficulties with PAYPAL in several cases. We estimate that these problems will be resolved Friday, 15th of September, 2017. We also a…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) Pam is on the mend. She can stand again with support, takes first steps and already eats soft food. It's scheduled to transfer her to a rehab center today. To stay up-to-date, please also follow the news Pam's friends publish regularly underneath the previous newsflash: www.ipernity.com/blog/team/4708924 2) About this misfortune our plea to write some nice words about ipernity in the various existing rankings has unfortunaly faded a little…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) In order to make the payment procedure simpler, Rob has further revised and simplified the subscription page . 2) The new FAQ is now also available online in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. The Dutch version is still under development. Use the Help & Contact link in the footer. 3) With the help of our IT service provider Qwellcode, we have succeeded in removing the dormant contents of long deleted accounts fr…

Sehr geehrte ipernity-Nutzerin, Sehr geehrter ipernity-Nutzer, Die ipernity-Webseite, die Sie derzeit nutzen, wurde zwischen 2009 und 2013 entwickelt. Konzeption und Technologie sind inzwischen zehn Jahre alt. Nach 2013 ist die Webseite organisch weiter gewachsen. Sie besteht inzwischen aus mehr als 21.000 vernetzten html-Dateien. Die Betriebssicherheit nimmt zusehends ab. Die notwendigen Anpassungen an den Stand der Technik werden immer schwieriger und teurer. Es ist deshalb unausweichli…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, We all wish you a happy new year, health, peace and much love by the ones you love. 1) Removing items from a group. For an administrator of a group checking the suitability of content added to it, they can use the red [x] under an image as required. But if they open the large, single image view for a clearer assessment, they would have had to return to the group contributions page for access to the [x] to remove it. Now the 'Action' menu f…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) We would like to inform you that in the meantime 4 donations have already been received via the donate button, which was set up on the login page in December. The sum of the donations is 210 EUR. 2) The response to our advice to extend your subscriptions before the planned adjustment of contributions to the changed exchange rates is far above expectations. 124 club members have already made use of this option. We thank you for this great vo…

[EN] This morning a security certificate for ipernity expired. To update it, we need support from an IT professional. However, due to the weekend and holiday situation, nobody is available. Fortunately, Gerrit Fischer gave us a tip on how to log in anyway. We benefit from the fact that ipernity is not (yet) completely encrypted, but only the login and payment page: You simply backdate the Windows system and then log in. Go with the mouse pointer to the system date in the lower right co…
