In principle the last change on the what's hot list is an improvement. More pictures is a good idea, I think. And the list seems to have no certain ranking, at least I cannot detect any, and that's also fine.
But the way how pictures are selected is still a mess. I can't be that a picture is hot if half of the comments are self generated (which leads to the curiosity of pictures with more comments than views in the list) or that comments are only from four or five very talkative people.
If one want to have really hot pictures in this list one should not count absolute numbers, one should count the number of individual visitors and the number of different people who left a comment. And I don't see why this is not done, cause in the beginning it worked (at least for your personal popularity charts) in this way and suddenly it was changed.
But maybe I miss the intention of this list, and the list is doing exactly what the team wants, but in that case I personally don't agree with this intention.

The german page seams to be called "das rockt" and you find it in the "entdecken" menu:
www.ipernity.com/explore/popular
Bye the way, for blog entries that page works indeed quite well in general.

There is clearly a wrong conception from the beginning. And all of us know already our favourites and where to find the real HOT shots. People have all the right to organize private parties.
The pity is really that if "what's hot" is too long a private party, I'll be missing a lot of new good photographers joining the house... Thanks god we still have acces to Lea's Network to see what's going on...

The presentation of what's hot is also crap: why mix discussions with pictures? why are the pictures so small? who cares about the tags?
Bottom line: The pictures of my contacts are way more interesting / beautiful than the pictures in what's hot. Thank you guys!

About the layout. I think they mix up pictures and blog entries cause ipernity is not designed to be a pure picture sharing side, it's intended to share very different thinks, so that's okay. Maybe one should make more specialized what's hot pages, one for pictures, one for videos, and so on.

I have been away for a while so I looked at Whats Hot, and Latest Docs and Posts just to see what has been going on. I have to admit that I did not do that for a long. For some reason I don't see much in Whats hot that interests me and in Latest Documents and posts were 800 photos from the same person, so I got bored to try to find something from other members. There were some nice photos in Whats Hot but for some reason I don't like how the page is set up. Maybe I am to used to browsing through Flickr.
There are things that I really like about this site and for that reason I am still here :-)

Have they changed the algorithm or has the activity of the people changed?

If things have changed a bit on the hot page, I think its good. Not because the pictures that were there already were bad or anything but I would also like to discover pictures from a wider and more different selection of photographers, and I think the pictures there should be as diverse as the community itself ;)
