Has anyone else seen errors in the number of woots diplayed next to name?

My woot box next to my name recently changed colors and instead of saying 37 woots now says 1.... Weird.

It also says you joined woot today. Odd. Mine is (and has been) correct, so who knows.

Mine reads 1 and should be 8. They seem to be having this problem on a weekly basis now...again.

Hasn't this question been posted in one form or another multiple times in the last month or so? I think we all have had issues of some kind...just chill out because they will take care of themselves.

All kinds of odd things have been happening for most of this month... I just took a screen shot of @shrdu:s page showing a shiny white triangle and a zero rep... I saw it that way on a question response and navigated to her page before taking the screen shot... A couple minutes later the triangle was back to normal...
I've also seen lots of server errors this week and new pages & refreshed pages are taking forever... What ever they are doing it must be pounding on the servers...

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.
