Why does it say I only have one woot?

I've wooted at least 30+ times, yet my name has a lonely yellowish box next to it. I even tried logging out and back in. Not a big deal, just curious as to why it's like that all of a sudden.

(I am notoriously bad at tagging my posts. Please change it accordingly!)

This has happened over, and over, and over...

It's a disturbance in the database, certainly related to the ongoing problems with notifitation settings not sticking. I'm sure that @josefresno will just be overjoyed to have this added to his plate.

{Funny, at one time I knew his actual name, which prevents me from referring to him as Jose, since I know he isn't one.}

The thing is, these errors seem to be always paired. Once your black square rights itself (which it will, since it seems strongly related to a database synchronization problem within the cloud), you should go off and make sure that your notification settings are set to yes (if you prefer notify if mention to be set).

I'll bet that they are unset. Wait until your square returns to black, though.

As an aside, the join date will show correctly in the mouseover for your account at the top of the page, and show today for the mouseover on your name on the question.

@shrdlu: My email notification just refuses to stay at "YES." Stubborn, stupid woot tab.

@shrdlu: I thought for sure you were going to say a disturbance "in the force". I spent way too much time watching science fiction as a kid.

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.
