Copy and Paste Promo Codes

It would be extremely convenient if deals.woot would allow copying and pasting of promo codes/discount codes within "this" text area. This would make it easier for “wooters” to apply the code especially if the code is very long.
I think the best way to go about doing this is making discount codes and promo codes a different box (similar to the “tags” box) which can be copied by clicking on it.

Actually, this feature is already half available, but only to woot! staff.
There is already a coupon code box that they can use, an example is here: http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/b1e1b4d1-28d9-4eba-8d92-3829bc779459/
It would be nice if we the users could get to use that box too.

The ability to click on the box and have it auto copy so that we could paste it into the checkout page would be excellent! Great idea.

i agree with the both of you, most of the deals posted wouldn't be consider a deal if it weren't for a coupon code and this would make it E-A-S-Y!

@catbertthegreat: that is awesome, your woot knowledge astounds me sometimes..

FYI: you can just double click the word within quotes, then [Ctrl]+[C] to copy the code without any leading / trailing spaces.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
