Hi,
How does one see the past deals now? I use to click on community from within one of the woot pages, to see a list of previous deals for that woot; home, clearance, electronics, etc. That was helpful to see what one missed, especially during woot-offs. Is this no longer possible?
TIA
Have you tried the deal-chatter category?
Thanks for replying. Yes, I looked at that, but to me, it seems like everything is all jumbled together. It used to be if I clicked on community, from say within āelectronicsā, I could see all the past deals, in reverse order by date, or in case of a woot-off, by time. One could then scroll down and see all previous deals. I guess this is no longer possible. This new style/layout is confusing to me, I guess itās time to move on for me.
Thanks again.
I can help you with that.
When you are on the deal chatter, there is a box next do the ādeal chatterā box at the top that likely says āallā
When you click it, you can select a sub-category, such as electronics.
You will then get the electronic threads.
I hope this helps!
Thanks, appreciate your time, that doesnāt seem to be what Iām trying to see though, not the way it used to be anyway. I guess woot is trying really hard to drive away its long time members with all this ānewnessā.
I can spend money someplace thatās more user friendly and intuitive to use.
Thanks again!!
Just wanted to jump in and say this is a feature I miss as well. I consistently used the previous Community Forums to see the history of deals in the WootOffs in order, which doesnāt seem to be an option any more. Posts are sorted by latest comment by default, and I donāt see an option to sort by the latest post. Anyone know how to do this?
It is difficult to see what deal was started on what day and in order.
Iām wondering if the mods can add on a column on the Deal Chatter page (or any other page) that is Date/Time post was created that can be sorted/ordered like the Category/Replies/Views/Activity fields. That way, we could sort by create date and see the deals in order of release, like the old forums. It is nice to be able to go back and see what you missed in an organized fashion.
That I agree with. Sort by thread create date/time would be wonderful for that category.
When did this ānewā feature go into effect? I swear I was able to check past deals, chronologically, like a week or two ago.
I think when you first view the latest deals theyāre in chronological order but Iām not 100% sure. From there you can click on some of the column headings and sort by the ones I listed earlier. You cannot, however, sort the list chronologically by create date.
I agree this new system kinda sucks!
I agree-- past deals, in the order that they were offered (or a post was created) was a big feature for me & one that I seriously miss. I am surprised that there hasnāt been many more complaints about the sudden loss of that capability. If Iām away from the computer for any length of time (people have lives, right?), I like to quickly check to see what deals I missed. If there was something really cool there, I tend to watch the woot-off even more closely.
Now? I donāt see any way to check past deals (and differentiate between old deals and recent ones). It takes more than half of the fun away. Almost all of the deal sites that Iām aware of have a way to quickly see what past deals were (and when & what sequence they were offered in).
Is there some button somewhere Iām missing that provides that simple feature?
Edit: see, in the time it took me to type that, one, or possibly more, clearance deals have happened-- I have no way of knowing if it was more than one. Is that any way to run a woot-off?
Awesomeā¦ now can we get a button for that? LOL
On each category, tag, group, etcā¦
Probably not?
Thatās great, thanks TT, & it seems to work for woot-off items, but if I want to see all past clearance deals, (woot-off and non-woot-off), Iād expect to try something like this?:
which doesnāt work. What am I missing?
Itās working for me. There havenāt been any deals added to Clearance today.
The woot-off has itās own category so all the sales from today are there:
Today is the first Woot-Off Iāve paid attention to in a while (so. many. BOCs!) so this is the first time Iāve noticed this problem in the forums. While TTās link is helpful to show the chronological list of items, itās not exactly convenient, and it only shows the names of the items, rather than showing the name and a picture like it used to. So, while Iām a year late to this conversation, I want to put in my vote for an easier (and more visual) way to see all the items that appeared in a woot-off (in chronological order) like you used to.
Hi there. Thank you for the feedback. New forums have different capabilities. Weāre not able to put the image inline with the product title on the listings page.
Iām new to this party, but I also am very frustrated about this. Specifically, today, 8/11/2020, item Linksys Velop Intelligent Mesh WiFi System appears in the Computers tab with the following also displayed: "Whoa! A new deal just popped up!
Think of Woot like your personal deal toaster."
How can I see the offering that this item replaced? The above suggestions shows all items for sale in the Computers section, not just the ones offered as the āone deal a day.ā UGGHHHH!
