latest price drops ticker acting weird - Blu-ray Forum

Pirendeus · 01-30-2011, 03:08 PM

I'm not sure if I'm the only person experiencing this, but my latest price drops at amazon tracker doesn't show just the latest drops, but appears to display a mixture of new and older drops; e.g., right now it shows both WWII in HD (which just dropped a few hours ago), as well as Alice in Wonderland (which dropped a couple of days ago.) When I look at the price history chart, both movies' prices are updated properly. Obviously, many movies' prices have also dropped since Alice's price fell, so, unless I'm misunderstanding the way the ticker works, Alice should not be displayed, right?

Edit: i also mis-titled this thread; perhaps a mod could replace the word 'tracker' with 'ticker' in case anyone else has had this problem and is looking for a solution?

The top ticker by default only shows significant drops on popular titles. If you prefer to get a completely unfiltered version, goto your site preferences at https://www.blu-ray.com/community/settings.php and check the "Show all price drops (top of site)"-checkbox.

Actually, I checked that, and the "show all price drops" box was checked, as well as the "show most popular deals" box, too. So I unchecked the "most popular box," and the ticker disappeared (even though the "all price drops was still checked." I played around with it, and the only way the ticker appears is if the popular deals box is checked, and all price drops never appears, even if it is checked.

Thoughts?

The setting was working but it was showing an outdated (cached) version for the first couple of minutes, so that's the reason the option didn't seem to do anything.

Anyway, I've made any changes to this setting go live directly. Let me know if you still have problems.
