HOW DO I GET WOOT OFF TO REFRESH?????-workaround found but it's still broken :(

1

HOW DO I GET MY STUPID COMPUTER TO SWITCH OFF AN ITEM ONCE IT IS SOLD OUT?? The only way I can get it to update is to literally CLOSE out of WOOT and reopen a new window. I am going to throw it out of a window. This is a consistent problem with EVERY woot off and two different laptops and multiple different browsers.

F5?

It doesn’t work. It just refreshes to the sold out item over and over. Then I bring woot up on a different device and it’s 75% sold into a different item. What doooo??

Actually it looks like mine does that too on the computer… I don’t have to close the browser but I do have to click on the new woot off, the page doesn’t load it.

It’s worse than that for me. I can’t even click the new item. I have to CLOSE ANY WOOT TAB before it will even refresh to the new item. It’s this way EVERY WOOT OFF!!

That would make me want to break everything, I can’t stand when things don’t work like they should.

Hover over Clearance on the top right, it will show a pic of the new item, click on that pic and it loads the new item.

SHIFT KEY + F5

Just noticed that brings up the profiler… in FF on Linux anyway. I hold left SHIFT and hit the little refresh thing by the address field. That seems to work fine on mine.

Edit: Sounds like you can use CTRL+F5 for the same thing. Or CMD+SHIFT+R on a Mac.

nope, doesn’t work. See above post. Refresh/f5 do not work…

What did just work is if I am NOT ON THE ACTUAL ITEM. If I sit on the clearance screen with the item just sitting at the top and refresh, that worked. Well once anyway. I will test again. @BeanDip may have the winning solution though!! That just worked like a champ!! BUT why doesn’t just refreshing the )#&%)*^)@%&^n screen work? Love me :kiss:

Yeah I just checked it out in both FF & Chrome and you are right, not working for me either… meaning it’s most likely an issue on the server, rather than a client issue. Probably some caching plugin they’re using on the site that isn’t refreshing on it’s end quick enough. Still lame though.

Note: TT did mention a little earlier in some other thread that the site was being slow today… so there’s that.

Are you using Chrome? It’s having issues with our site right now.

But from a staffer:

  1. Open Chrome
  2. At the top right, click the dots(More)
  3. Click More Tools. Click Clear browsing data.
  4. At the top, choose a time range. To delete everything, select 1 hour.
  5. Next to “Cookies and other site data” and “Cached images and files,” check the boxes.
  6. Click Clear data.
  7. Go back to Woot.com. Refresh page.
