Does anyone have issues with deals.woot on their mobile phone?

My biggest issue is voting on deals. When I try to click the up or down arrow, it almost always clicks the deal's link. It doesn't matter how far I'm zoomed in or out. It's almost like the active area for the hyperlink gets messed up (maybe a CSS problem?). I'm running on Android 2.2.

I noticed that exact behavior a few days ago. I found that if I tap to the left of the target, it usually works.

Nope. I have an Android 2.2 phone and it seems to work fine.

Using my HP TouchPad, however, I have trouble when trying to buy an item from woot. I don't seem to be able to click "buy 2" or "buy 3" on the order page. (I'm stuck with one item) This happened during the last woot off, anyway. I suppose I should try again. Sorry to change the subject.

No mobile phone (gasp), so no issues here.

@cloudscout: That is the exact thing I have to do to get it to work. What phone/OS are do you have?

@bsmith1: What phone do you have? Are you only running the stock Android browser?

@joshaw I just tested on my Motorola Droid (original) running 2.2 with stock browser. I noticed that I can duplicate the issue you are seeing if I double tap to zoom, but if I zoom in very close to the vote button I can vote up or down just fine. What specific device are you using?

@csunwold: HTC Incredible (rooted) with stock browser.

Edit: I think I see the same behavior as you. If I zoom way in (where I can see pixelation), then it does work.

I just tested it on my stock 2.3 HTC Thunderbolt running stock browser. I did NOT have any issue. Hope that helps to potentially narrow it down.

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.
