No problem with date format, noting that the English version is not just for the British :-)

Hi. I'm very concerned about you wanting to limit people's ability to download my work. I'm publishing under Creative Commons licenses, and I expect my audience to be able to download my work, or otherwise me being here would be quite pointless. I already complained to the old team about it, because they would not even remove the stupid transparent pixel over my photos.
I have been paying for the fundraiser and I have been buying my subscription early in order to support the site, and I expect my concerns to be taken seriously. Thank you very much.

Lieber Wolfgang,

hinsichtlich der Download-Funktion ist obiger Vorschlag nur eine Fortschreibung des Status Quo, keine Änderung bzw. Einschränkung. Wenn allerdings Änderungen gewünscht werden, müssen sie auch an das ima-Team herangetragen werden. Denn was mit dem früheren Betreiber der Website verhandelt wurde, kann das Team nicht wissen. Auch nicht im Hinblick auf die "transparenten Pixel", welche uns völlig unbekannt sind.

Da der obige Vorschlag bisher nur eine Blaupause ist, über dessen technische Realisierbarkeit erst nächste Woche mit dem IT-Dienstleister gesprochen wird, könnte die von Dir gewünschte Änderung durchaus noch berücksichtigt werden. Deine Argumente sind verständlich. Wir werden die Vor- und Nachteile Deines Vorschlages überprüfen.

Definitely the plan is not to limit the features for paying account members. Currently, and as far as I know, also in the future at least the settings available here will stay:

www.ipernity.com/pref/original

But I personally do understand that is very likely not good enough. There should be a possibility to change the settings also per image. Moreover, there seem to be no possibility to let also anonymous users to download images, which I was not aware of.

So, I agree, we indeed need to look for some updates on the code, to give even better sharing settings. What is the point to have Creative Commons if it doesn't truly allow downloading(?)

Therefore on my own behalf I do thank you for pointing out this rather important issue. We as IMA team has just been unaware about this limitation on the code. But as we usually have to keep on saying: Since we do not currently have enough resources, we can't promise any quick updates on anything that requires serious updating on page code.

A possible "quick solution": We try to remove the z.gif from the page code when image has CC attribution or Free use. But even this can be rather tricky thing to do.
