Having **Trouble** with Triangle/Square color, Staff not having Badges, comments disappearing..?
IT IS A GLITCH
Our beloved woot peeps (shawnmiller, josefresno, dave bug) are probably working on something and will get it fixed.
It happens ALL THE TIME. Just ignore it, it will be repaired - HONESTLY.
Common symptoms are -
- Staff not having badges
- loss of triangle color
- woot count wrong
- join date displayed as today's date
- comments/answers not being displayed
yes, wootbot still works for woot
sorry, still off caffeine and have seen at least three of these types of questions this morning

Just another day at Woot!
@mtm2: exactly!
I went from 47 woots (Green square) to 1 woot (orange square) then back to 47 again....
@theoneill555: "yes, wootbot still works for woot"
My co-worker was wondering why I was laughing at this.
No caffeine? Why torture yourself like that?
And thanks for the sum up. Whenever this happens, it seems to set off a flurry of questions.
@theoneill555: I will drink extra caffeine for you, for the duration. I am happy to make this sacrifice.
This may be one of the best "questions" I've seen in days. :-D
@shrdlu: Thank you, ma'am! On both counts.
@theoneill555: I toast your resolve. And I will help @shrdlu consume extra coffee for you.
Thank you for posting this. Now hopefully all the right people will read it.
my square just changed back to the correct color in the last few minutes
staff badge test
@wootfast: Test Successful! You are still a badger.
*edit Badger!?! that is bad but lack of sleep makes me not care, I like it. : )
@okham: Thanks
This is clearly the period of change that the Mayans predicted for 2012. We should have known by the tiny exclamation point inside a circle in their calendar.
@wootfast: So glad you're still working for Woot too! :)
my square color just broke again :(
Thank you for the heads up. All this attention actually made me wonder why it matters to people (so I asked). We (people) are so interesting.
@natedogg828: CONSPIRAC...oh wait. Did you try logging back out and in again?
Yay! Now there's an actual link to something for whenever somebody asks one of these questions again. Thanks @theoneill555
@captainsuperdawg: Just trying to cut down the duplicate question clutter :)
@inkycat Yes, I did try. It broke when I went from one page of deals to the next. It is working again correctly for now
@inkycatz FYI it just did it again, so I logged out and it was back to the correct color, but I was kicked over to regular Woot! so when I came back on over here to deals.woot and again broken triangle. Oh well, just another excuse to keep checking, not just for deals but to see what color triangle I am. No worries, also sorry about not properly typing your name in post above
@caffeine_dude: Still a badger but not a HONEY badger because, as we all know.......
(Please pardon the meme joke. Some days I can't help myself.)
Woot's not working perfectly today for everyone? Do you think it's a coincidence that today's mail brought my When Pigs Fly plushie? (BTW, the WPF has wings that actually flutter. It has confused the dickens out of my cat.)
My woots just dropped from 5, to 1, but when I click my name, it says I have 4-9.
Mine is back:)
@theoneill555: Didn't know if you got my earlier thanks, so wanted to pass it on through here. Also, to add to the FAQ, no deals for random items...bags of crap excluded of course.
