Dear members and friends of ipernity,

1. Let's get up and dance!
Request for music suggestions for the winter slideshow uploaded to YouTube.
There was feedback that the music chosen for the autumn slideshow was too melancholic. For the winter, 'Chris de Burgh / When Winter Comes' is envisaged.

Do you have a better idea? Make your suggestions in a comment below.

Note: Proposals need to be instrumental music of about 3 minutes duration. The music should be accompanying music in the background, and not dominate the pictures. They must either be copyright-free or licensed for use on YouTube.

2. Easier access to help tickets and responses.

You may have noticed a new icon in the upper right of our webpages. The question mark is a new link to our Help & Contact page where you can contact the team and see the status of your help requests (ticket status).

Also, when you do have an unread reply to your help request, you will now see a red exclamation mark on that question mark icon.

Further, it was recently discovered that some Help & Contact tickets, created when user was not logged into an ipernity account, were not reaching the team moderator. This has been corrected and the team moderator is working to reply to those old tickets. We hope for your patience.

3. Interruptions on our website.
We have unfortunately had two short offline periods, each lasting about an hour. This has been due to a script that no longer works which unfortunately caused a disk partition on one of our database servers to fill up. We would like to apologise for this. We hoped the underlying problem would be resolved by now but a permanent solution is still in progress.

We take this opportunity to remind everyone that in the case of any significant offline time, our official notices about ipernity website status can be found at twitter.com/ipernity. One does NOT have to have an account with twitter to see these notices.

Some people have noticed a longer delay than expected in the appearance of new photos on the Explore/New page. After investigations we have not been able to find anything wrong or a cause. We are, however, taking these observations into account and will consider them as we continue to deal with the current server problem.

4. Are the changing seasons inspiring your photography?
october 21, 2022 - club news
Light changes as we drift through the seasons. This time of year, whether you are in the northern hemisphere watching the light levels angle lower, or in the southern hemisphere gaining brighter days, the shift can bring new ways to see the world around us.

Inside or out, seasonal changes can bring dramatic lighting. Storm clouds can play against sunny skies. Shadows lengthen subjects near windows. Photography is all about light. Let the changes of this time of year open your eyes to new possibilities in your photography.

Your ima team

I don't mind this song selection, but just for fun, I'll suggest an alternative. It has an old-timey "girl group" sound, even though it was made in 2000. :) "Hit The Snow," by The Aislers Set.

I'm not sure how to tell if it's licensed or not. :o

Regards. :)

You can find the licence information on YouTube below the image.

FireShot Pro Screen Capture #953 - 'Hit The Snow - YouTube' - www.youtube.com

In this case it is missing. The song may therefore not be used.

I don't have a better idea, so would like to present just a small selection of possibly acceptable alternative music - copyright free / royalty free - for the winter slideshow:

Winter - AShamaluevMusic

Lofi Type Beat "Winter"

Chaxti - A Quiet Winter Dawn

Winter Love

Winter Games Epic Instrumental

Winter Magic

WINTER SEASON

Winter

Dear * ઇઉ *,
royalty free songs are, alas, often all-purpose music, without much imagination, aren't they?
I quite like your "Winter magic", though: I vote for it!

Otherwise, I really like Chris De Burgh's "When Winter Comes". But as the "Hit The Snow" of xenophora, is it really copyright free...?

Thanks for the news and improvements, as well as for the repair effort (it's true that the team is allowed to sleep and shop from time to time! - comment on your twitter post ;).
Always a good job, guys!

A few suggestions of my own:

and why not a poem, able to give a new relief to our slideshow... ?

Best wishes,
have a good weekend.

A poem is a nice idea, Eric, but in my opinion would possibly distract or overwhelm the viewer, especially since not everyone speaks the reciter's language.

Dear Eric,

about the quality of the music pieces I suggested, of which none reflects my personal taste, I myself don't want to judge, as tastes are different, and I also selected and suggested them with this in mind.
Of course, our winter slideshow will ideally be accompanied by appropriate instrumental music. So everyone has free choice or can make his/her own suggestions.

The suggestion of xenophora is definitely not copyright free, as I can confirm.
Regarding “When Winter Comes” by Chris De Burgh, there's no notice regarding copyright freedom. Therefore, this music may not be used either, unless Bernhard has information which has been hidden from me so far.

Thank you, *DB and Eric. I will listen to the songs and consider their suitability.

So that everyone can see how YouTube displays the release for use, here are three exemplary screenshots:

Screenshot 2022-10-22 14.36.58 Screenshot 2022-10-22 14.35.40 Screenshot 2022-10-22 14.34.16

In such cases, YouTube has entered into agreements with the rights holders who have allowed the music in question to be used on YouTube in official and user-generated videos. See: support.google.com/youtube/answer/7680188
