Bug: Deals.Woot-branded Members.Woot "My account" link doesn't work.

From Deals.Woot, click a link to Members.Woot, such as your own username at the top of the page. From the Deals.Woot-branded Members.Woot page, click "My account". It tries to load https://deals.woot.com/Member/YourAccount.aspx, which doesn't work.

works fine for me. I am running IE 8.

@chris12345: I see this error on Firefox. I see it on IE 7. I used an account on the IE 7 that I almost never ever use, and which does not load an avatar from anywhere (just in case that was somehow part of the problem), and still see it. I'll go try on something non-windows now.

Too bad I don't still have the rich set of test platforms, but I'm not loading up Chrome for anybody (I have the hate for Chrome).

That was just so very painful. Okay, I hit the most obscure OS I own, with a browser that's ancient, and the error's still there. I don't have an IE8 available to check with.

I get the problem with Chrome and IE8.

@shrdlu, why the hate for Chrome? Just curious. I use mostly Chrome now myself, had some issues with Firefox.

@jazcat: I prefer a finer grained cookie control than it allows. Yes, I am crazy enough to click yes or no on each and every cookie for a particular site. Chrome has other annoying (to me) features, but that one is unforgivable. Actually, I only recently gave up browsing with an ancient copy of Mozilla, which I STILL miss.

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.
