ip-Club-News-logo Dear members and friends of ipernity,

1) Summary of the General Assembly of Members. We thank all of you who attended the online meeting. To summarise, the meeting went well, and the board for the coming year was elected.

Of particular note is the exciting news that we now have a Vice President whose position will support promoting ipernity along with other tasks. We welcome Andreas Schindler Arlequin Photographie to the position and look forward to their support.

That said, it was noted by our President, Vice President and Treasurer that each one of us who use ipernity are responsible for finding ways to spread information about our website in order to support getting new members as the way forward for our community.

Please look here for further information.

2) Two minor refinements. There is a nice little refinement to the 'Visible by' filter, available in the 'Photos' drop-down menu when viewing your own images. The menu options are now on/off toggles, with the active one now displayed with the additional text '(cancel)'.

Due to experiencing a number of questions about PiPs, the following is aimed at making it easier for new members. The 'Add a note' menu item under 'Actions' has the additional text, '(or PiP, see Share below)'. It is 'Share' that can provide the text required, and has a link to, 'How to insert PiP'.

3) Media usage survey.
You can see the results for yourself here, where the number of 'fav' stars is the count of 'yes' answers. At the end of March the results were:

19 use Twitter (X), 148 do not,
26 use Bluesky, 128 do not,
63 use Facebook, 100 do not,
1 found ipernity through Facebook.

Over the next weeks the team will be using the results to determine any changes that could be made regarding the promotion of ipernity on those sites.

4) Ambassador pictures anniversary.
The IPERNITY Ambassador Images group has just celebrated its fourth anniversary. With 1,500 photos now worth seeing, it shows the spectrum of ipernity members' work in the greatest possible variety. We would like to thank all the members who have contributed to forming this representative collection with their suggestions and submissions, as well as the volunteer organisers and the jurors who curate this group.

5) Reminder about blocking a member.
Blocking someone can be used to prevent you from seeing their images on the Explore->New page.

But remember that their images are hidden from you everywhere on ipernity. Also that while you can unblock someone, the initial action of blocking them will cause the permanent deletion of all their comments and messages to you. See FAQ 9.2 for details.

6) To our worldwide community.
Happy spring, Happy fall.

Your ima team.
