Did anyone else lose all their woot purchases in their square?

I have 40 woot purchases and when I hover over my square it used to say 40. All of a sudden, it displays 1 and has a yellowish/orange color. It used to be a dark green square.

Did I offend the woot staff and they are penalizing me or something else happen?

I have not noticed this issue. I even went and checked the individual woot sites and didn't see a difference, did you try logging in/out to reset it?

Try logging out and logging back in. That usually fixes any square triangle issues I get

@darthemerald: Thanks for the suggestion. I just logged out and back in and the yellow square is still there. I want my green square back.

Was showing 1 ONE!!??? purchase. Thought of writing to woot and asking for a refund on all the other orders I didn't make. Logged out & in; it's okay now.

Interesting, the people who are reporting this issue looks like they only joined woot today (if you look at their user info in the hover window... I'm sure thats related even though you kept your variously colored triangles..

@darthemerald: Nope, I joined 4/26/2007 which is over 4 years ago and I'm experiencing the problem. Keep in mind, I have over 40 purchases from woot so I'm definitely not a new user.

@cengland0: when I hover over you name, it says you joined today, that's what I was referencing... people who didn't really join today but are showing that way are all having the same problem of not seeing their purchase history for some reason

@darthemerald: Oh, you're right. It does show that I joined today when I hover over my ID in the posts. However, it does show the correct date when I hover over my ID at the top where it shows who is logged in.

My purple square turned orange during the BOC fiasco. I haven't yet logged out to see if that fixes it.

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.
