NEW deal alerts sent for OLD deals.

86 10 Yesterday at 01:13 PM
I noticed in my emails and web page (profile picture/inbox), I am getting alerts for "new" deals for older posts.

For example my newest alert that I received at 10:38 today links to a posting 3 days ago.

Is this the thread that you are referring to?
https://slickdeals.net/f/19591386-hp-omnibook-7-flip-16-2-in-1-ai-laptop-intel-evo-platform-powered-by-intel-core-ultra-7-258v-copilot-pc-3k-oled-touchscreen-32gb-memory-1tb-ssd-windows-11-home-1000

If so, then the deal alert timing was correct. The thread didn't match your criteria (popular) until yesterday until around the time that you received the email. That thread had a lot of up and down voting in the beginning, so it took longer to hit popular deals.

If you have other examples, please feel free to share them here or email them into [email protected] and we can look into those, too.

You are correct. Thank you.

I noticed my other alerts had various popularity levels set. I'm not sure why, but I set them all to all.
