Dear members and friends of ipernity, We all wish you a happy new year, health, peace and much love by the ones you love. 1) Removing items from a group. For an administrator of a group checking the suitability of content added to it, they can use the red [x] under an image as required. But if they open the large, single image view for a clearer assessment, they would have had to return to the group contributions page for access to the [x] to remove it. Now the 'Action' menu f…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Is a group active? In order to support the current efforts by our members to improve the perception of groups, especially to visitors, a new feature has been added to assist them. On a group's homepage, the blue (?) icon beside 'Latest contributions' shows how long ago the most recent image was added to the group. Additionally, this is available via the [ i ] under each image. This is the date that a user agrees to a suggestion, or when a g…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Additional viewing size option. When viewing group contributions, the 'Small' option displayed the 100px images. Everywhere else, the display used the cropped 75px squares. Beside the existing icon for this option, now labeled 'Square', there is a new icon for the 100px option, labeled 'Small'. The view of group contributions gains the 'Square' option, which provides a larger overview of the content. The Explore->Gallery and Explore->Noteworthy d…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Improvement to the 'Your group' page. This improvement allows you to check on groups that host your content but to which you do not belong. As well as listing the groups, this new feature allows you direct access to your photos in each group. Such a state can happen if you chose to leave your content behind when you left the group. Or because the action of agreeing to a member's suggestion that you add a photo to a group, means it will be there…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Welcoming new members. Allow us to remind you of the New Club Members - most recent page.

So, our thanks to Jaap, and may we encourage others to join in this activity of simply being friendly. Is an…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Notes for new members. It was a task for the Moderator to send an ipermail to new members with useful information. This would inevitably not be at the instant of registration. It also required a decision on who to exclude as likely spammers. The text is now available in our 7 supported languages, as item 1.6 in the FAQ section. We view this as an overall improvement, while accepting the loss of the personal touch. This is mitigated by community bein…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Bulletin from our club president. On 7 October 2023 we were presented with a claim for monetary damages from a well-established and reputable German-headquartered company that specializes in obtaining compensation from intellectual property theft (e.g. copyright infringements) because of the actions of an ipernity member. He is now a past member because his account was promptly deleted along with the image that had been uploaded without the photog…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Revised Landing Page. The selection of images for the Landing Page has been made, and the software update implemented, see Explore . You will note that the image changes each time the page is refreshed. This is on a random basis, so you might get the same image twice, but most of the time it will be different.
