Are you getting your emails?

Oct 7, 2012 9:57 PM

every since this latest form of woot has errupted i do not get the emails i am signed up for. i have submitted numberous beta feedback requests to get it fixed. i have chatted with mods in the forums, and with tech people in the chat rooms. they all agree there is a bug in the system. i do get the emails if i subscribe to a question/deal, and i do get the daily email (thanks to all who fixed those two for me). however i am supposed to get the mentions of me emails. i have submitted screen shots showing my side says i am supposed to get them, but still nothing. i scroll thru days old atc and see me mentioned asking for answers that i never knew were there. all i can hope for anymore is that maybe this might get someone in power's attention.
so: are you getting the emails you are signed up for?

As far as I know I get all of mine. I don't understand why yours aren't coming, unless there may be some glitch on your end.

I generally get my emails, but sometimes they are delayed or don't arrive at all. The ones that I don't get are on deals I post or questions I ask - I get most of the responses, but sometimes not all of them. But since they are my deals/questions and I don't have that many to watch I don't miss things on them. I might be missing other things, but I am really missing them then.

emails. yep, porn, millions of dollars left to me by my nigerian uncle who was killed in a tragic coal mine accident, omaha stakes, job offers to be a CDL driver, and 2 monkeys talking about nonsense.

@moosezilla: I thought we got that fixed. Hmmmmm.

Try unsubscribing from everything and then log out. Log back in and resubscribe. Let me know how that goes. If you still have problems, PM me with what you are subscribed to and what you are/aren't getting. I'll follow up with development.

Also, clear out your temps/cache just for grins.

I have been doing what @thunderthighs: suggests, with good results. Every once in a while, i will notice I am not getting my emails when mentioned, and this always fixes it. But it does seem to crop up occasionally.

I believe I've been getting mine just fine, the daily digest is usually there in the morning when I get up. There's a little delay when people name me in a response, but I do get those too eventually.

I've been getting my mentions, since some early issues. Hope they get your issues worked out soon.

I haven't been getting any of my deals.woot emails. If I subscribe to any deal, if I subscribe to my own deal as I'm posting it, or any questions in the community. Not a single one. Been happening since the update. I've just been living with it. :-(

I'm going to click the "email me when someone..." box underneath the box I'm currently typing in. Guarantee I don't get any emails from replies to this question.

I haven't noticed any email problems, but my ability to post from mobile devices has been glitchy again lately. I think it was yesterday that I nothing I posted, deal or comment, would process. No matter how I clicked the "submit" button, it was dead from my iPhone or DH's iPad. Related to your problem?

@firebirdude: Check the email on your account and make sure it's correct.

Then try what I mentioned above. Unsubscribe completely and log out of your account. Then log back in and resubscribe.

There were some issues a while back that required a code fix. It would be best to unsubscribe/resubscribe to sync up with those changes.

@thunderthighs: Thanks for your response. My email address on the account is correct. Plus I get invoice emails from Woot when I make a purchase just fine. However, I went ahead and changed the email address Woot has anyway (I have many several email addresses I check regularly).

I'm not subscribed to any of the daily Woot mailings, as I'm on Woot every single morning anyway. I went ahead and clicked "unsubscribe from all" under my account settings. Logged out. Logged back in. So we'll see.

@firebirdude: Make sure you go back and subscribe to Deals.Woot & Local.Woot Mentions if you want to get those emails.

@thunderthighs: Just an update, it's still not working. I am subscribed to deals.woot mentions and I also check the little subscription boxes whenever I post in a deal/question. Ever since the Woot update, no mas. I have also ensured Woot's emails are not just going into my email's spam folder. And like I said, I get emails from purchases just fine. Das broken.

@firebirdude: They did some playing with it. Let me know if you don't receive some now.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

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.
