That number is the total number of “upvotes” you have received on all comments and stories you posted on the site. Its the same number as your “karma” on your profile.

    It’s in your profile, too, along with an average.

    To clarify, it’s not the “total number of upvotes”, but rather (upvotes - downvotes), which gives you your net karma.
