Bug: Website Breaking Deal Adder

Whenever I try to add anything from Macy's website the deals adder hits the 404 page and nothing posts.

Anybody care to give it a try, see if it is just me.
I've been trying to do this page: http://www1.macys.com/catalog/index.ognc?CategoryID=596&PageID=2561846283054

It's all on a fairly deep sale, figured I'd just post the whole lot since I like quite of few of their pieces, plus there is free shipping on all orders over $99.

I got a server error, and nothing was added.

Other deals have been added from macys.com... maybe this is related to all of the other problems tonight.

@catbertthegreat: I knew I shouldn't go look at that link. I just KNEW it. Dammit.

Okay, Mr Wizard. Please explain what "Rose Gold" is, in Catbert words, so that I'll know whether it's a good idea or not. Yes, I could google, but I trust you more...

Never mind. Wikipedia provided more than enough answers. It's what I'd thought (re the gold+copper). I'll have to go to Macy's directly, so that I can verify that there's no nickel in them. Those rose gold+aquamarine items are beautiful...

It might be the retailer that isn't allowing deals to be added. Similar to the issue we had with Old Navy/Gap etal

@hobbit: That makes sense, stupid Macy's, I thought they would like a little extra publicity.

@catbertthegreat: Apparently buying up every single department store in the country is enough publicity for them. :-(

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.
