Just a brief article prompted by some comments I've seen people posting regarding difficulties in publishing articles.

I can remember sitting down a few weeks ago and reflecting on what an awful year 2016 had been, not only for my wife Jan and I, but also for our wider family.

Okay, I think the majority of us, certainly those who are Club members, are hoping and maybe even praying that Team Ipernity are able to secure new investment for the site or find a buyer for it. However, what happens if they fail and we all need to look for an alternative. Some might disagree, but…

Please see the update as posted along with the image below: Sink Or Swim ... Please note that I've locked this article to try and keep any comments people want to make on a single thread. Also, by having them on a photo thread we can perhaps get this image and the message it carries onto Explore…

All of the uncertainty over the future of ipernity and the ongoing discussions about how to secure its finances got me thinking about what this great site has to offer and more importantly just how much we’d be willing, or need, to pay to keep it afloat. In the past I’ve said I’d happily pay twice t…

Following on from the ipernity article entitled UPTIME 3535*, I wrote to Team Ipernity to ask if they had considered the possibility of working with a small group of members to explore ways that they could perhaps assist in securing the long-term future of the site. It struck me then that there were…

Sad news indeed, but the article posted by Christophe earlier today makes it quite clear that barring a miracle this site will indeed close ... perhaps as soon as the end of January 2017. For many of us this isn't a shock and those that were around in 2015 will no doubt remember my open letter to th…

Okay folks, for what it's worth. A recap on where I'm at with regards the options out there and a list of the Groups on them for Ipernity Refugees looking to test alternative sites and use as a 'muster' point: FOTOBLUR: fotoblur.com/groups/ipernity 500px: 500px.com/groups/ipernity-refugees/membe rs…

Well then, 6 years on from getting my first serious DSLR, my D90, I've come to realise my image files are all over the place and it's now an absolute nightmare trying to find anything specific. I started off shooting just JPEG files, but fairly quickly moved to shooting both RAW and JPEG copies at t…

Just wanted to apologise for not being around much of late. I'm afraid my wife has been in hospital and so much as I love ipernity it has had to take a back seat. Thankfully, my wife is now back home and improving each day, but it might still be some time before I am able to get back amongst you pro…

Just thought you guys might like to know that I’ve been in touch once again myself with Team Ipernity regarding the difficulties they are facing. In that message I’ve asked if they have considered the possibility of working with a small group of members to explore ways that they could perhaps assist…

Je fais partie de ceux qui ont fuit flickr en 2013 pour venir s'installer ici, étant arrivé à la conclusion qu'Ipernity était la meilleur alternative possible sur le marché des sites de partage de photos. Cependant, aujourd'hui, en 2015, j'ai l'impression qu'Ipernity ne fonctionne plus aussi bien qu…

I was one of the many that came flooding across from flickr back in 2013 having found its revamp too messy, not at all intuitive and way too slow for my internet connection to handle. I knew that in time I would have got used to all those new buttons and learnt how to do what used to come naturally…

Sorry folks, but property values in this neighbourhood are about to plummet as I’m hoping to be back amongst you properly in the next week or so. I had hoped in the midst of all the technical problems I was having I’d have at least been able to get online occasionally to keep an eye on what other pe…

Big problems at the moment with my PC hence my absence over the last week or so, all of which means my appearances will continue to be sporadic for some time. I had hoped a System Restore and reinstalling all of my software (groan) would solve the issues, but in some ways things have only got worse…
