Are there sites you have troubles adding deals from?

I find that there are a few sites I have trouble adding deals from some sites. Tonight for instance I tried to add a deal from gohastings and it would not work at all. I also have troubles with deals from staples. I use a chrome book so I wonder if that has something to do with it.

1. SEARS is my most common offender. The links to the deals almost never work.
2. You can't add a deal that originates on facebook. A month or so ago, Heinz was selling a limited edition ketchup made with balsamic vinegar. (It's really good) The sale was only available to fans on facebook and the checkout process was handled through facebook. On a side note, I think this is a good thing because immediately after ordering my ketchup I received an email saying my transaction didn't go through. I was supposed to download a word document with the details. The document turned out to be a trojan horse virus. Thankfully my virus software caught it!

I've had problems with a few sites. I know buy.com is one of them.
Usually when I switch from my Chrome browser to something else (usually Firefox) I'm able to post- usually, but not always.

The autoload doesn't like Sears so I end up posting it afterwards in a comment...

Boscovs. I've had some great deals there, but they don't come up, not sure why.

Yes. It's Fab.com. The site has a pop up box to put in your email address whenever you post a deal, and my images never seem to come up. Another person explained to me how to post from the site without the box showing and with the correct image (used Facebook link somehow), but I could never figure it out. It is a shame because they have some very unique items there, and I would be posting a lot more.

The so-called "flash" deals at 1saleaday (basically, multiple deals at one link). I've had the Sears issue too.

Sears, Oriental Trading Company, Lolshirts (links break due to affiliate linking), Home Depot, sometimes walmarts. others too, i'll try to remember :( some sites are just not direct-link friendly!

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.
