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 being welcoming in their Guestbook, and commenting on initial uploads.

The sub-text on the message says,
"This message remains for another xx days.
Then see bottom of panel on the left."
Although the link is intended to provide access after the main display period has ended, it also allows you to read the notes now.

2) Update: Encouraging guests to become Club Members.
In an attempt to encourage current guests to become Club Members, the programming now matches our Terms of Use. Once a guest reaches 100 images they will not be able to upload more. Previously, they could continue to upload, but the older ones were no longer accessible. The deletion of the excess images was a regular task for the team.

In order to upload further images, a guest will need to either become a club member or delete some of what they have already uploaded.

This update now applies the Terms of Use equitably tor everyone.

3) Our homepage in summer.
The ipernity homepage is our flagship for visitors from the web. With the start of summer, we are now showing summer images of club members. We invite you to enrich the attractiveness of our homepage with suitable new images. Please post them there: Ipernity Homepage - Image Proposals.

Currently, we are still showing the images from the 2023 summer season. Please let us know which ones should be kept and which ones should be replaced. Follow this link to watch the images and take part in the corresponding vote afterwards using the link in the description of this YouTube video.

4) In memoria.
Sadly we pass on the news that our long time member Anji passed away in July 2023. Condolences and comments can be made on their in memoria page.

Your ima team.
