I'll use this. Thanks! I'll wait for a while--at least until after I've tried to break it--until I get nitpicky. :-)

- Quick question, will my wootstalker login work with this, or are they totally separate animals?

- @PurplePawprints They are going to be separate. I debated making it universal but ultimately decided against it.

@lichme Looks good! I just registered, but it won't let me sign up for the contest.. It keeps telling me I need to be logged in, but every time I enter my username and password, it doesn't look like I've logged in.

- @VeeDubTDI I have this set up for current items, but not historical (yet). I have to go back and try and find out when stuff sold out, which probably means checking the forum for each item manually. On the list of stuff to do, but it's one of the more time consuming things.

@lichme Just wanted to give you a shoutout that Woot Stalker alerted me in time to get the item I wanted, in fact the very item I signed up for Woot Stalker to get alerted for. I'd barely missed two moofi sales of Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lenses when I finally decided to sign up, then they never came back. But tonight it was a regular sale and I got it early!

@lichme something seems to be wrong with the mehstalker.com site. I’m sure it’s not an internet problem on my end because I’m able to access other sites and proof of it is that I typed in this message.

Here’s what I get after the computer clocks for a couple minutes trying to access the site:
