Very well captured Ron, it's such sad news about Ipernity.

Good shot!
I just joined 23 HQ. Seems OK. Here is my link; www.23hq.com/andyr
There is also a group for Ipernity. It seems small and therefore I suppose there are viability issues. But I quite like it so far. I will probably stay with it for a while, until something better comes along. Like you, probably not Flickr.
Best wishes, Andy

Excellent shot Ron.

Phenomenal mushroom shot!

outstanding capture!

Fabulous close-up of this gorgeous mushroom, Ron! Amazing colors and detail!

PS. Still shocked about IP closing down. I'm so happy to be here. I've had a Flickr account since 2007 but never posted anything since I joined IP in 2013. I'd feel like a stranger moving back there but guess I'll give it a try. You'll let us know where you'll go next, please..

This is excellent.

Ron... I have had to take back my words re flickr.... and that is because there honestly isnt another good option.

Sometimes... you dont have to like something to know it IS the answer. Then you make it the best you can. Just my thoughts.

I also made a 23 acc.. but as the "team" there havent done anything since 2006... I have no faith in it.

By all accts. this site hasn't majorly improved since 2008..... Sometimes, if it works well enough, you leave it alone ;)

If the membership potential at 23HQ significantly goes up, I'm certain they will put more effort into updating things, etc. The main admin. on the photo part of their business is very personable and reliably returns emails, etc.

A lot of people dismissed ipernity in 2013 when Flickr was overhauled to the point of being unusable.... This site wasn't that great then either. It takes a lot of time to code a site like this. You have to have patience & be willing to work with the site admins. If not, you have the situation people are in now --- there a only a handful of sites with this type of design and purpose in mind and virtually all of them are run by just a handful of staff.

A lovely shot of this fungus, Ron. I still have an almost unused "standby" account at flickr but am mainly planning on youpic and 500px. Sadly, it seems there isn't anywhere else with the community feeling of here. Will post till the end too - do stay in touch.

Very nice, Ron! Are you making the move anywhere?

Monica Meeneghan wanted me to post so that you know where she's been:

"I've regretted my disappearance from Ip. I've had sign in problems and then exhaustion from trying unsuccessfully to resolve them."

You can find her on flickr and possibly 23hq down the road. She mentioned she really wants to keep in touch with you. Same here.

an amazing photo from this mushroom. Like it! Have a good weekend!

A great capture, of this mushroom, Ron.

I am very sad at the loss of ipernity; I will be going back to flicker, where I still have an account; www.flickr.com/photos/mychildandtoys

I will check out 23hq also; I had never heard of it before yesterday.

Beautiful captured.

Excellent photograph, Ron ! *****
Like many other people here, I will stay in Ipernity until the end ... but a lot of Ipernity friends are already on Flickr ... where I returned too. Like Sasithorn I had a Flickr account since 2006, but hadn't returned since ...
It would be great to see you there too, Ron.

Charming little mushroom =) Nice find and capture!

I'm also sticking around here 'til the end. Will be transferring things with unique or researched description data that I don't want to have to recreate over to my Flickr acct. but keeping it private and waiting to see what happens with this site. If/when the site goes under, my new hosting site will be 23HQ -- until then, I plan on really getting to know the ins-and-outs of the place =)

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!

wonderful Ron

Superbe ce champignon !
Malheureusement comme vous je ne sais pas où aller, Flickr ne me plait pas ...j'espère que l'on pourra partager sur un site nos échanges
Bonne journée Ron

Beuatiful photo of an impressive mushroom.

Un beau spécimen

Gorgeous !
