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…

Apparently it is PayPal and not ipernity. A message from PayPal to another site operator includes, "our engineers are investigating this problem". Please delay your renewal until the blue banner message is changed to signal the ok. If your membership is going to end within a day, then the Donate link in the footer of ipernity pages does enable a payment to be made. It may force you to input the amount in euros, for 1 year standard this is €49.90, and for 6 months it is €24.95 If you use t…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Picture-in-picture (PiPs) in lightbox. The full screen 'Lightbox view [z]' now displays PiPs. It does not allow you to edit your own PiPs, but the feature is designed to help you be aware of PiPs when viewing other people's photos. The outline rectangles appear as you move the mouse, and then fade out when you stop moving the mouse. This is unlike the main photo page where they are always visible when the mouse is over the photo. The recta…

We received a bank transfer payment at the end of March without the reference of the ipernity account number, nor could any match be made via the name. If the member who we assume has lapsed to a Guest account, has knowledge of a payment made by E S Kessinger, please contact the team. This case is an example of the delay for the member, and the extra effort by team, when this piece of information is not included.

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Outreach support needed (advisory position). For our club to have a good future, it needs to be better known. Therefore, we need to promote ipernity. There are many ways to do this. Some of them have already been put in place. But we need someone who has a little time to keep these activities alive. New ways of promoting ipernity could also be found. Advisors would coordinate with the team, but have autonomy to run their own projects. There is…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Website update: Improved album listing when uploading Until now, if you wanted to put a photo into one of your albums, it was often difficult to find this. This was because your albums were previously displayed based on the order in which they were created, with the most recent albums on top (see the following illustration, left-hand). In addition, the list was limited to fifty albums. This limit was expandable, but it was cumbersome. The di…

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…
