Anybody else having "Fresh" tab issues?

Feb 26, 2013 4:23 PM

I don't think it's just me. But then again, I can't be sure....

Both deals and questions, "fresh" is acting squirrelly. It might work for a page of deals, then takes me to deals a day or so older. Same on the question side, so I apologize is someone has already asked this and I just don't know it.

Yeah I've been seeing deals and questions revert to yesterday's a couple of times. It could just be deja vu.

It was brought up last night in this question. @rogetray was working on it......I think.

When I search by questions I've answered I'm warped back to 5 days ago. This answer I'm writing does not exist, except when it does.

I don't even think they MAKE Tab any longer. Haven't seen it quite a while so I doubt you will get any that is fresh....

It's not just you. I'm having the same problems as well. Also, the front page is doing the same thing. Both tabs revert back to yesterdays deals intermittently.

We're looking into it.
Thanks for the heads up.

press most recent.

Other problems include:
RIP deals on the front page, deals that I have added not showing under the MY ADDED Tab, and a warping of the Space/Time Continuum.

No, I use Wooter's Eve for freshness.

Seems to be working better now than earlier. I noticed it was running slow between pages.

if by "issues with the fresh tab" you mean issues with the entire bleeping site. Where I regularly get server timeouts and empty responses only from deals.woot.com for stretches of 3-10 minutes about 2-5 times a day. Just this question took me 5 minutes and many many repeated attempts to load. Other woot properties and every other site on the internet I can think of works just fine, only deals.woot.com seem to magically and routinely mess up/lose my server requests. I notice it on and off every couple of weeks, but the last week or so has been absolutely horrendous. And again it is specific to deals.woot.com. I am a software engineer, so I at least tried other options, but every error I get back says it is an internal server error (i.e. on deals.woots end).

wow, i thought my answer failed to post because i got the "yikes, theres been a server error" message right after I clicked submit. only just managed to get back to this page (8 minutes later according to the timestamp on my last comment)

An additional failure was discovered.
It has been repaired.

Hey gang. We're starting up some fresh servers and reloading data starting with the newest deals and ending with the oldest.

We've worked our way through 2013 and most of 2012. We should be completely caught up all the way back to 2009 in a couple of hours and hope this will bring some needed stability.

Hang in there.

Yeah, I was having the same problem earlier.

In fact, I posted the same question this morning. But apparently my question disappeared along with the deals. :-(

Seems to be fixed as of 10:30 PM ET.

Still having some issues with opening deals. Hope all is going well with the upgrades.

@mtm2: Which deals are you having trouble with?

shawnmiller shawnmiller
vote-for1vote-against

@shawnmiller: Not working for me now. I was just looking at top deals, with page 1 showing some deals posted within the hour. Then I clicked "fresh" and page 1 starts with deals from 10 and 11 hours ago. It seemed to be working fine late last night...

Looks like we're having some issues again today. Poor deals.woot needs some antibiotics!

@pitamuffin: Yep. We're working on getting that set of data into the system right now. Thanks for the report.

I have had trouble with posting questions today and I think tattling on some taboo deals yesterday

Deals dot woot on the net goes up and down, up and down, up and down; deals dot woot on the web goes up and down so now, we wear, a frown...

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.
