Dear members and friends of ipernity,

1) For the beginning of autumn we have updated the pictures on our homepage to the Autumn Picture Collection 2021. We would like to thank all club members who have contributed to this. The pictures can also be viewed as a YouTube Slide Show.

2) Please give a Like to this slide show if you enjoy it. This will help to increase ipernity's relevance on YouTube which is the second largest search engine in the world. Thus, you help to attract new users. Please also subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you get knowledge about other new contributions from ipernity members. You are also welcome to enrich this channel with promotional videos of your own making.

3) You are cordially invited to set your camera to 16:9 format every now and then in the coming weeks in order to shoot attractive new autumn pictures especially for the homepage. You can post the best ones in the group Ipernity homepage - picture proposals.

4) As Sami Serola isn't in charge any longer, we need a project leader*) to coordinate and push our social media activities. We are sure that among the billions of users of Facebook, Instagram, etc.**) there are thousands of dissatisfied people who unfortunately do not know about ipernity. Reaching them might help us to move ipernity forward.

5) It has been reported to us that the Chrome browser has not been displaying ipernity content embedded in third-party websites for some time now. This can be fixed by adjusting the Chrome browser accordingly. To save yourself the trouble, we again recommend Firefox as the default browser. It is fast, secure and rarely makes any problems for us.

Thank you for your involvement.
Your ima team

*) As Social Media Coordinator is not necessary that you know all networks in detail or actively use them yourself. But general basic knowledge of how social networks work and the unspoken social rules on the respective networks should be familiar to you. Similarly, it is not necessary for you to be in charge of all social channels on your own.

**) We currently operate the following active social media channels:
- 'Amis d'ipernity' on Facebook (administrator needed)
- 'ipernity' on Facebook (administrator needed)
- 'ipernity' on Instagram (administrator needed)
- 'ipernity' on LinkedIn (administrator needed)
- 'ima' on LinkedIN (managed by ima team / Bergfex)
- 'ipernity' on Twitter (managed by ima team / Kiezkicker)
- 'ipernity photo club' on YouTube (managed by ima team / Bergfex)

Peter Castell replied to Fred Fouarge:

Only a small percentage of members will read it and an even smaller number will make any comment, comments are always from the same group of members. Look at the youtube videos that have been produced to help promote ipernity how many have bothered to view them or give them a thumbs up to help push them up the ratings. In the case of the one I did 165 views 18 thumbs up and 7 comments it may not be very good but that should be irrelevant to members supporting the club

Does Ipernity have an official logo, button, image, etc which could be used as a link on a website?
Much like a f for facebook or a t for twitter or do you just use the name Ipernity, if so what font and size are considered appropriate?
If there is one does one need to apply for permission to use it on a website or indeed on communicating with anyone be on the internet or instagram or twitter etc.

Team replied to natureoncam aka Greg:

There are such things.

1) As a downloadable icon with the official abbreviation 'ip':

ip-Logo

2) As a written out logo with a slogan (available in 7 language versions):

Ipernity Slogan [EN]

However, this slogan shouldn't be used any longer. It was replaced half a year ago by: ipernity - your online photo club. You can see it in the banner of the above mentioned account: www.facebook.com/ipernity

Facebook Banner Template 820x461 (21)

For the logo, the font and colors are mandatory. It can be used with or without slogan.

Dark blue:
HSB 210,67,60
RGB 51,102,153
WEB #336699

Light blue:
HSB 210,50,80
RGB 102,153,204
WEB #6699cc

The slogan may be white or black.

Thank you very much.
It would be useful and saved time, yours and mine if there was a known place where such things are available to members.

Have just noticed that if I left click on it I get access denied, though I can right click and save the image that way

We currently know of only one bug, which most likely has its cause in the ipernity software, and which we have not yet been able to fix (even with the help of highly paid IT specialists): The malfunction of the 'replace' function, which is really not nice. But there has recently been an association member with IT skills who wants to help us. (See 2021-09-03 Club News, point 5).

The malfunction in notifications is due to refined security procedures of providers belonging to Microsoft or 1&1 (hotmail, web, gmx). And the Chrome browser malfunction described above is because Google has modified the browser's default settings. In both cases, it is not the ipernity software that is defective, but external web service providers making upgrades that deliberately disadvantage old software.

To remedy the first problem one would have to reprogram the ipernity mail server. If you pay for that and find a company that will take the job, we can get started right away. To remedy the second problem, we would have to reprogram our website encrypted from scratch. We are saving up for that. At the end of the year we will probably have just under 30,000 euros in our coffers. But that's only enough for a down payment. The subsequent ongoing programming costs are not yet covered. We are talking about a total of 70,000 to 100,000 euros.

We as ima team - and all the other members of the association - would be very grateful for a generous donation from you. The Donate Button is just a click away: here, or in the footer.

By the way, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all the donors who have secured and are securing ipernity's future with their generosity. These are not only the 548 donors of the crowdfunding in March 2017 (with donations totalling 29,130 US dollars), but also to the hundreds of donors who have since donated a further 10,250 euros. Thank you very much!

Without you, this website would no longer exist.

It is a great pity that Sami has resigned.
I'd like to thank him from the bottom of my heart for his extraordinary commitment to the overall welfare of ipernity, and wish him all the very best.

Sami has shifted his main focus away from photography. Nothing was wrong.

William is around! Working in the background always, if not posting and making comments as often.
