[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) A few days ago, ipernity was exposed to a massive attack by Russian spam bots, who managed to overcome the Google Captcha authentication.

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) Our first online General Assembly was a success.

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) To date, 213 users have renewed their subscriptions early. As a result, the liquidity of the community has increased by 8,797 EUR.

Manifeste pour la reprogrammation d'ipernity ./. Manifest zur Neuprogrammierung von ipernity ./. As we all know, it is imperative to have the ipernity website reprogrammed from scratch as soon as possible. The necessary adaptations of this website that is ten years old, both in conception and technology, to be technically up to date are getting more and more difficult and expensive. This reprogramming does not focus on changing functionality or design, but on improving the technical basis in order to reduce costs and improve operational reliability. In view of increasing security requirements, the website must also be SSL-encrypted as quickly as possible. In view of changing user habits, it must be better adapted to mobile devices. Of course, the opportunity can also be used to consider long-cherished wishes if they are affordable.

We just got the meta description fixed, which should help "advertising" our wonderful web site elsewhere. We mentioned this on our Facebook page. The post has now received promising ~450 views but only very few likes and shares: www.facebook.com/ipernity/posts/10155275339706771 What we really need is people sharing the awesomeness of this web site with their friends elsewhere. It does not work if only the "official ima team" tries to share few posts here and there, when our social media…

This is especially necessary for a shared or public computer. 3) The previous logout pa…

'Why BAD Photographers THINK They're Good' by Jamie Windsor And if you like what you see, then visit Youtube to like, share and describe.

The very urban creator' spirit of Carlos Alexandre roams through Lisbon, Paris, Hamburg, Chicago, New York and other great cities. Soon after he internalizes the collected images in his photographic unconscious and transforms them into recent memories. Or old, I say, once the vibration of colours and movement is untimely, sometimes more definite and understandable than others but always the same acute and poetic look catching the intense instant which escapes through the ci…

Every now and then I test sharing private images only on groups, and get some interesting results. What I mean is that I keep the image as "Visible by: Me only", but then I share it on some group. What happens is that ipernity asks if I really do wish to share the image on the chosen group, and let other group members to see and comment the image. The test part is to find out if people actually view my image within the group context at all. And then the test reveals if the group is actually…

Ist es nicht toll, dass es ipernity noch gibt? Das denke ich jedes mal, wenn ich eure tollen Bilder sehe. Und manchmal denke ich, man müsste reisen und nicht nur virtuell von den anderen lernen. Mit Katja die City von Frankfurt erkunden, mit Heidi durch die Berliner Lost-Places stiefeln, mit Sami skurrile Handybilder schießen, mit Gudrun zu den Nordlichtern reisen, Adrians wahnsinnige Insekten-Macros, Yvonnes brilliante Landschaften, Judith, die oft so ähnliche Einfälle hat wie ic…
