Bug: Today's Top Voters Vow Toward Violence?

Where are the top voters from the last couple days? I haven't seen them.

Is this because of impending tweaks to the only +N calculations top voters equations? Are we finally going to get -N for down-votes added into the mix?

I finally was at the top and expected to see my name in lights on Friday and there was nothing. :'(

Oh! And @inkycatz just so she can talk about turtles and make me laugh.

Ironicly soon after this question was asked four days ago, someone broke "Today's Top Voters".

Still no top voters and no answers so I will be annoying and proceed to jump up and down singing, "I'm a little tea pot short and stout[...]"

@jumbowoot @faughtey @josefresno @shawnmiller @snapster

Could anyone let us know what is going on?

We're working through some issues related to top voters and search trends. Shouldn't be too much longer.

@xarous: oh ok thanks.
i see today's top voters on the right bottom of the leaderboard

"Today's Top Voters
Where they vote, others follow. Average number of votes cast after their vote on today's fresh deals."

it's hard for me to notice something missing on the leaderboard, especially if it's not there :)

@w00tgurl: Under Yesterday's Top Pick etc there should be Yesterday's Top Voter and it has been missing for the last few days, or almost a week. Shawnmiller and his superhero team is working on the dashboard (more than just this bug going around right now), so all will be well.

Yesterday's Top Voter is back. We also added a small new feature: the questions advanced search page now displays trending question searches and tags.

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.
