How does the Orble

August 23rd 2007 06:02

I'm curious ... Why do posts that are further down the top 10 most popular posts of the day sometimes have more votes than ones at number 1 or 2 ...?
And if say I have a post that is at #1, and I haven't been on Orble for several hours or more, when I click on a comment made by someone on that particular post it immediately drops down, sometimes out of the top 10 altogether ...

The popular post list is based on time as well as the number of votes, so the older the post the more votes it needs to stay on the list.

With the comment thing -- that sounds very strange. What do you mean by "click on a comment" ? It could have something to do with a cache being updated but it seems odd.

Do you mean that you have orble.com open for severel hours and find a post on the top ten (after said few hours) and click on it, it drops?

Well the system works independantly of the users, so after those few hours the post had naturally dropped from the top ten but in your browser it was till at number 1 because you hadn't refreshed the page yet to update the content coming from the orble server///
