Group: Ipernity Members Association Project

I'll start - Congratulations to the prime movers in this process ; I know (from the inside) just how much time and effort has been expended in reaching this point.

Delighted to read the news just now. My hearty congratulations and thanks also to all those who have made this possible.

Brilliant, well done and thank you.

My congratulations. Thank you.

Great news. Thanks to all the team for the hard work A well deserved result.

Great news and a BIG thank you !!

Das ist doch mal eine gute Nachricht. !!! Vielen Dank an alle, die viel Zeit, Mut und Energie in die Sache investiert haben. Ich hoffe, das viele die nicht mehr an die Zunft von ip geglaubt haben sich nach und nach wieder zurück melden.

A big "Thank you !" and congratulations to EVERYBODY who was involved in such difficult fights and solutions during the last months. Well done IMA ! Good decision, CR !

Sincere thanks to all those who put in the time and hard work to make this happen,
Time for all to pull together.

Excellente nouvelle !!!

Many thanks! I hope to be able to rejoin the club soon!

Great news! My heartfelt thanks to all concerned..

I have sent flowers - Congratulations.

Hurrah! Congratulations and many thanks to all involved.

Great news - many thanks for to all who have worked so hard for this. Please let us know as soon as the PayPal account is handed over and I can pay IMA for Club membership.

Terrific news for all those who love ipernity and who have hung in there despite the uncertainty over recent months.

A huge thank you then most definitely to Christophe and the IMA for managing to resolve their initial differences and come up with a proposal acceptable to both sides, but also to everyone who have given the negotiations their support be that financial or otherwise.

I'm sure that if we're honest there have been times when each and everyone of us has questioned if this day would ever arrive, but it has so let's celebrate! :)

Wonderful news. Thank you so much to everyone involved, you have done us proud.
Now is the time for us all to pull together.

Thanks alot! Thank you! Thanks first to the IMA team for the hard work and thanks to everyone who has never given up Ipernity. July 11, 2017 - A happy day for Ipernity!

Merci au team IMA ! J'ai diffusé la bonne nouvelle ce matin ! Que les futurs membres du Club préparent leur carte de paiement en attendant le feu vert !!! Amitiés à tous !

Outstanding news..!! Thank you to everyone involved in this epic takeover. Onwards and upwards...............

Congratulations and thank you to all that contributed. But: the work has just started. E. g.: we all have to ensure that a sufficient membership base is paying or the future expenses, many links and references have to be updated and so on and so on.

Fantastic news! Many thanks to the IMA-Team.

What a good message! A big thank you to all who contributed to the success.

Oh my,what a great news before going to sleep,thank you to everybody who helped to save this
special place,soon we all must start to work to get new members.

Good work, I personally expect a communication from the ipernity team blog

Great news and thanks for the extraordinary efforts to all involved in getting to this point of negotiations. Now needs the backing and continuing support of the rest of this great community!

Couldn't agree with your words more, Roger ....

Im glad for these good news ! Thank you IMA ! It was yours big idea and very big job which you did for all "maniac" people here. ;-)

So what does this translate to in terms of the duration of my subscription. Any idea when you guys plan to void everything and turn it all over? If you don't know, any idea when you might? Under the old regime, I'm paid up through September. Am I going to lose those August and September?

Here you will find information regarding Club Subscriptions
From what I see the IMA will honour only recent Subscriptions. I have not seen any Info on your type of situation. My guess is that your subs belong to IP/SA and will not be transferred to IMA.
I could be wrong but that is my understanding. Maybe best to confirm with William what your situation is.

www.ipernity.com/group/2260604/discuss/187468

Yeah, I don't figure they're going to honor regular subscriptions, though at this point, things have been going on so long that I don't see the benefit of the ill will they'd generate to screw people out of a month or two. I'm just curious about when they're going to get to it, and how long I have.

+1

Well, now ...

I asked a question about timing, as I'd think we're at the point now where the timing of things might be known.

I'd say I'm sorry that you're too sensitive to handle a simple question about the timing of a business decision on an internet forum from somebody you obviously don't like for some random reason, but really, I'm not sorry at all. This is your problem, not mine.

But it's nice to see the much vaunted community spirit that makes Ipernity so ... special ... come once more to the fore. With such a welcoming group of people, the site can't help but succeed! GO TEAM!

Great news! Is there a new fundraising campaign nevessary to cover additional transfer costs or is everything smoothly done?

Nein Ruebenkraut !

Alles Gut !

Great news, which has come in the nick of time, because my Club subscription to Ipernity comes to an end in less than 21 days time. Is it safe to say that my renewal fees will now go to the IMA/new management?

I have less than 19 days. I am going to wait till the deal is confirmed William Sutherland mentioned IMA had 15 days to pull out before final decision.

Wait would be best. By the time of your renewal IMA should have full control of the site.

Tim... wait till we have full control.

We will tell folk as soon as its all handed over and new accounts are made. It cannot be done at this point.. but SOON.

If you have to revert to standard it will not be for long and you will not lose anything.

Thats correct Colin .

Same answer as to Tim ...

yes that's my plan - thanks

Ah, ok, thanks Pam and Tess for advice x

In other words, Keep Shooting ...

5 days left for my club membership ... what I understand from the comments - I shall wait for the transfer to complete before extending - really great news if this works all out for IMA !!

Yes Fallnetöm !

Hold on for a bit longer !

Many, many thanks to everyone involved for this latest good news! All the time and effort you have been putting into saving the ipernity website is hugely appreciated. THANK YOU!!

Hi Clint
I assume the timing question is how long now until the IMA have control of the site. This has been specified in Williams last blog
www.ipernity.com/group/2260604/discuss/187672

I"pernity S.A. will then start the transfer of the accounts of Amazon, Paypal, Google, etc.
Other necessary legal processes will follow.
The transfer process will be finished end of July."

Excellent news for IMA! Congratulations and many thanks to all who have been involved in these tricky and long-running negotiations.

Until the IMA are hands on I guess in the short term The IMA team are limited to what the software allows them to do. Until such times as and when we have IT skills to draw on I cannot see major changes to the workings of Ipernity from what it already is.
For me personally my impression of late is the photo sharing industry is becoming stagnant and I do not mean just Ipernity but all the sharing sites, uploads are very much predictable and needs some inventive ideas that will appeal to many users. My example would be the countless number of groups at members disposal, they are all originally an idea of one person but very few groups have captured the imagination of large numbers of members. I am sure the team have many ideas and suggestions already passed to them and no doubt will share with us once they are in charge.

Maurice....

Certainly for now and into the immediate future there wil be no changes to the site. It would involve professional people to be paid to do that and we do not have that money. For now the site WILL be maintained.

hip hip hurrah!

Huge issues with Ipernity at the moment. Anyone else?

farm5.staticflickr.com/4322/35916914031_89c8651d23_b.jpg"

Yes, I have the same problem !!!

Text but few images.

I have written IMA and told them about the issue, including screenshots. I do not know who else to forward tech problems to at this juncture.

No Images on my site! Thanks for the info, Pam. I will wait and see... - (what else can I do?)

bugzzzzzzzzzzz

Thank you Pam. I am removing the email address from my post above, lest others follow my lead. I had no idea whether CR would even see a tech ticket. I am glad you made him aware of it, or whoever did.

No worries Smiley... Thankyou

I raised a ticket last night (20th July 2017) at about 2230 BST. No reply as yet.
As has already been said - by William Sutherland and PamJ - Christophe Ruelle has been made aware that there is a problem.
IMA has no control over the Ipernity platform, nor over problem resolution.

Sent Message to IP/SA
Ticket #38460

Thank you! Your message has been sent.
I found a bug!
The support team has not answered your message yet.

Major problems here on Ipernity. Can't see my photos after page 1. Contacts uploads are blank and avatars missing. what a mess Please attended to this issue as a matter of urgency.,

For me it looks (more or less) the same as we had in February.
See: www.ipernity.com/blog/team/4650162

Service status: " There are no major problems at this time" So that's alright then :-)

Well seen, Jaap, quite the same symptom. Additional issue is that now we can't upload new photos. What, hopefully, has the same origin and could only result from a communication issue with AWS which C. Ruelle has identified.
No more information at this time...

I could upload some pictures, but I can't see them !!

GGGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ... more than 12 hours

Here is the reason for the present problems with Ipernity not showing photos plus other issues
Bills are not being paid to Amazon.
Dear all,
Amazon has decided without notice to block some services due to unpaid bills.
We've contacted them and we hope everything will work normally very zoon.
No medias were lost. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Amazon a coupé sans sommation l'accès à certains services en raison de factures impayées.
Nous les avons contacté et tout devrait rentrer dans l'ordre très vite.
Aucune photo/media n'est perdue. Veullez nous excuser pour la gêne occasionnee.

Fixed for me, right now.

+1 Same here ... wonderful things happen when bills are paid ;)

IP up and running again.,

Apologies are ok but they do not repair the damage, this incident may well have tipped the balance of those who were unsure to say enough is enough and will go.
This was a very unwelcome error on Amazons behalf which may well have cost the IMA future business.

Maurice.. that isnt in anyone's control.. we now just have to move forward....

We CAN do that and we CAN make a success of things.

And if people are so flighty they make snap decisions without full (or any) knowledge...... well those folk do that on anything in life.

Above is what Christopher Wrote He failed to mention any AWS agreement which should have prevented the issues that occurred.
So I am totally confused about the two different explanations of the events.

That link isn't working Tess ... are you referring to this one:

www.ipernity.com/blog/team/4670150

Yes your right. Thanks for the heads up Paul much appreciated. Have corrected the link.

No problem ... will delete my comment now! :)

No don't delete the comment. It shows how we can get on together and help each other out. Thanks again Paul

;)

The old case of "the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing" ..AWS
Glad it is fixed.

Thanks, Pam! This is very helpful. I will be at the ready to pay and to spread the word.

I'm assuming that at the point of takeover IMA will begin posting things on the front page of ipernity so communication will be easier for people to notice.

Laura... Thankyou

Once we have control of the site we will be able to post things in the Blog etc.

We will also be able to start on learning how Explore works and be able to get rid of Spam.

All I will add to that is nothing will be easy.. and the learning curve will be hard and it will not happen in a day or a week.

Most people will understand that .

Ipernity broke again. See latest comments here

www.ipernity.com/blog/team/4670150

IMA there are SERIOUS problems uploading images.
I had to make several attempts for uploading three new pictures.

What they could do: some information and perhaps contact CR !!

Oh no, just knowing what is going on (or is not going at all) is helpful.

Smiles....

I know Jaap... I know....

I /We are really trying ...

Thanks.
