Dear members and friends of ipernity,
1) Today, a long-planned hardware upgrade of the upload server was to be carried out by our IT service provider Innovations ON. Regrettably, this upgrade turned out to be more difficult than expected. The work will therefore be continued at another time.
2) There will be another scheduled hardware maintenance by Amazon Web Service (AWS) on Monday 26, April 2021. This should normally take place without any downtime of our website.
3) Troubleshooting of the 'Replace' function is still in progress. The replacement of files that do not generate thumbnails (*.doc, *.pdf, *.xls, *.zip, . . .) is already possible. But *.jpg, *png, *gif, etc. files still cause problems.
4) On our homepage we have replaced the Easter pictures with spring pictures. We would like to thank the photographers who provided the images. Here you can find the complete spring collection.
5) For future image proposals, we ask you to pay more attention to the Layout Guidelines for Frontpage Pictures.
6) To further clean up the ipernity portfolio of groups that have been abandoned by their administrators, the working team Groupbusters has been formed, supported by the ima team. If you notice any neglected groups, please report them to this team. The same applies to dispensable groups on the same topic.
7) In the course of its work, this team surprisingly discovered that an option offered in the group administration menu had never been functional. This was the option for the administrator to review proposed contributions within a period of 7 days. Obviously this option had never been programmed. As a result proposal queues have formed in more than 500 neglected groups. The Groupbusters working team has earmarked these groups for occasional treatment and removed this administration option.
8) We kindly ask you to use the administrator function of reviewing proposals before publishing them in groups only with utmost restraint. Too often, queues are formed because administrators do not find enough time in the long run to maintain the groups appropriate. Please bear in mind that it can be very frustrating if ipernity members want to post something but nothing happens for weeks.
Your ima team
We regret the interruption in operations since last Thursday evening. However, we are very pleased that our IT service partner Qwellcode GmbH (Salzkotten, Germany) provided us with a maintenance slot at short notice. Nevertheless, the reactivation took almost 24 hours due to the large amount of data to be synchronised and the server computing time required.
We ask for your understanding that, for technical reasons, such synchronisations of the data inventory cannot be done faster with the database structure we operate on the underlying hardware architecture.
We would like to point out to you that all commands that you tried out during the disruption phase have now actually been implemented, regardless of what was displayed during the disruption phase. This also applies, for example, to changing the visibility of documents, etc.
No data transfered during the interuption has been lost.
bonne soirée à toute l'équipe
Vielen Dank für die erfolgreiche und eigentlich erstaunlich schnelle Reparatur. Ich habe tief durchgeatmet, weil es wieder läuft!
Man merkt doch, dass einem etwas fehlt...
