[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity, This morning at 10:09 am the automatic monitoring systems of our website reported a fundamental dysfunction.

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) The final statement of the fundraising for the reprogramming of ipernity is now available. 75 club members and 145 "free" users participated.

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) On Wednesday our fundraising campaign for the reprogramming finished.

The ima team will now discuss how to proceed. 2) Unfortunately, the participation of "free" users was far below expectations. Nevertheless, we would like to thank all those who donated som…

You can copy them directly into other applications, such as Google-Earth. 2) For the GEO-positioning of photos we have to use Google's fee-based service until further notice, because…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) We had to shut down parts of the Google map service at short notice, because the costs have increased dramatically. (Google charged EUR 655 more for March than we budgeted for.) We are now working hard to see whether ipernity can be adapted to cheaper alternatives (OpenStreetMap, Evermaps, Opentopomap, etc.). For the time being,only geo-coordinates will be displayed instead of plain text locations in the location information of the images.…
