Is there a way to "woot this deal" on an iPad?

Oct 29, 2011 10:20 AM

Is there a way to "woot this deal" on an iPad? I'd like to add the "woot this deal" button to my Safari browser, but you can't drag it to the bookmark toolbar. You can't drag it anywhere. I do most of my browsing on my iPad, and would love to woot a few bargains along the way.

copy the link address from the site you want into the bar after clicking "add a deal" on the main deals.woot page

@klacour: oh i see, you are one of those ppl who downvotes everything, no i wasnt the one who downvoted your question, and i was correct btw

if you can't put the 'woot this deal' button in your bookmarks then what you do is copy the link address from the site you want into the bar after clicking "add a deal" on the main deals.woot page and then you fill out the info like always That is how you add a deal when the bookmark doesn't work

@miquinn: Like I said, I know how to copy a link and add a deal. Since I've moved to using the iPad more and more, I'd like the woot this deal button. It simpler. Copying and pasting on an iPad sucks.

And you seem to be one of those people who answer questions just to get your reps up. Read the original post and offer a worthwhile answer. Earn your reps.

BTW, I don't down vote ... Click my ID, and check "votes against" .... Nothing ...

@klacour: I had that same problem with a recent (but older) version of Firefox; one of their updates killed that ability. It was a real PIA, but there was no way around it, alas. You pretty much just have to do it manually.

(Later updates for FF cured the problem.)

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

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.
