Alive 2.1.6

Another day, another update. Alive 2.1.6 was just installed and we're happy to announce the following updates:

Biggest improvements:
  • We also display recent comments on the home page.
  • Reversed the sorting on the All tab which seems to feel more natural. It now displays from old to new items.
  • Paged navigation now shows which page you are on.
  • Changed the rules for cooling content down. Content that reached 0 points can be made hot again if it reaches 240 points again. This should cover up for content that is found very late and lost all its points before anybody has seen it.
  • The tag cloud on the front page now works on a new algorithm that tries to identify the overall hottest topic at Assembly, not just the recent hottest.
Other changes:
  • Added the global Assembly navigation bar so you can reach the other Assembly sites easily from Alive.
  • Fixed a bug in the flickr import. We now prefer to fetch a photo from a user instead of the global tag if it appears in both.
  • Photos from Assembly's official FotoCrew now get automatically tagged with `FotoCrew`.
  • And, last but not least, various smaller UI fixes.
We hope you enjoy Alive as much as we enjoy working on it!
