Understanding OzBargain

Hey, relatively new member to this website, just a bit confused by something

you know how you have top deals or new deals
and you have a yellow box with a number to the left of it?
what does this mean, i thought it might mean the latest added or the most popular
however there are numbers repated several times as well as not in numerical order
can someone explain this.

thanks.

  • It shows the number of positive votes. The deals are always listed in chronological order — newest on the top of the list, older on the bottom.

  • Scrimshaw is correct when it comes to new deals.
    With top deals the number in the box should be in numerical sequence showing the largest number against the 1st listing.

  • ok cause, when i vote on a deal, and then go back and refresh the page, it still shows the same number before I voted, so it couldn't be the positive votes….

    • It is the number of votes…just give it some time and your vote will be there

    • If you are talking about the "New Deals" blocks on the side, then yes, that is "aggressively cached" so it would refresh in a few minutes with the right number of votes in a few minutes.
