St. Patrick's Day Bug.

It shows me logged in on the site in Chrome/IE x86/64 on every page, but deals.woot.com/deals/fresh meaning I can not vote on ANY new deals. It shows nothing up top where Login or (username) (colored-square) (colored-triangle) any clicking on non-sponsored deals just doesn't respond, like a bad script or script blocking. Cleared stuff, closed stuff, rebooted, signed in normally and with approved sign in places (blah social networking). Ideas?

For now it is fixed...

@xarous: You just think it's fixed. LAst night, I couldn't log out until I slicked my cookies. That worked, but EVERYONE'S triangles disappeared from my view when I logged back in. As soon as I posted THAT bit of news, they came back. Personally, I think it was Deals recalculating all those votes and comments of @shrdlu's. I think she was the very last person to come back over to the darkside last night.

@lavikinga and @xarous: That's right, blame it on me. Actually, I think @abramokids was the last, or nearly so.

@abramokids: @shrdlu: Would you guys mind coming up with some better questions to be voted on? The Magic Cue Ball on the leaderboard says I need to be voting on some better questions. I say how can you vote on better questions if these are the only questions to vote on? ;)

@lavikinga: Ouch XD
Yknow, it's funny. A few weeks ago I posted complaining that there was no need for me to post questions and then BAM, I suddenly had so many questions on my mind. It's funny how life works.

@abramokids: eesh, I re-read my comment after reading your last and I realize mine didn't come out as I intended. :)

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.
