Meh.com not recording my faithful meh's = bullcrap!
1I couldn't be certain at first...but I am now: meh.com is randomly NOT recording my faithful meh's. I most CERTAINLY did visit meh.com yesterday and yet my calender has ONCE AGAIN been reset and spoiled my streak. Lo, I request, nay DEMAND my record be restored for the so-called "missed" days that I most certainly DID visit and summarily "meh'd" the item offered.
TL;DR: website is allowing me to "meh" an item but not recording it accurately. Please fix and restore 8/3 & 8/12 to my unbroken record. (see also July record)

Are you sure you were logged in? I've noticed a few times that the browser had logged me out. In those instances when I "meh'd" I was able to see the face, but when I changed screens it disappeared. After logging back in I had to click the meh button again to get it to record the face.
An alternate possibility is that you've done everything right and it's @marklog's fault.
@DaveInSoCal I wasn't sure at first -- but I am DEFINITELY sure now. I for sure logged in yesterday (twice) and it really sucks to have to bring it up.
@DaveInSoCal The best part about being the scapegoat is the user can jack it up all on their own and it can also still be my fault. Bleat.
@marklog yeah... I jacked up. right. sheesh. It's such a trivial thing - and that in and of itself should merit investigation because -- really -- I don't have anything better to do than lie about a pointless calendar of meh faces?
Double check your meh at 11:58, wait for rollover, check again.
@Thumperchick I didn't on 8/3 ...but I did last "night"....and that's why I'm posting now. (except in mid-west it's 10:58) ugh.
@unixrab I mean as a temp fix - re meh just before rollover. Or is that what you did?
@Thumperchick Yes'm ...after the 8/3 "miss" I've been diligent about visiting (and checking my meh face) ...now I know it wasn't me (@phatmass be damned)
We should all not be too quick to dismiss the possibility that you actually did miss those days and are simply trying to cheat. I'm not saying you are trying to cheat, I'm just saying you probably are and we should not dismiss it so quickly.
@phatmass I was willing to accept I missed 8/3 and just chalk it up to "wow ...maybe I did, but I remember doing it..but 'meh'" But not yesterday, Monday of all days I visited Sunday after 11p (CST/CDT) and also monday AM becuase work sucked and I wanted to read more in the forums.... but really - think what you want.
@unixrab Hey I said I wasn't saying you were trying to cheat. I personally don't think you are, because I trust you. All I'm saying is you probably are cheating and we shouldn't dismiss that possibility.
@phatmass alas - others have chimed in since I courageously broached the subject with management - I was vindicated. It's a known problem and it's being looked into. Now I'm not saying I want this to happen to you...but all I'm saying is that it probably will happen to you and at that point I won't dismiss the possibility that you actually did miss a day /dizzy
My streak remains unbroken with 36 in a row. It's too easy!
@medz great. post here when it breaks. (Extra Credit: visit only once per day if you're brave)
@medz Same here! WE ARE THE UNBROKEN!
@Thumperchick @medz - no one listens to the prophets until it's too late. ... ...hmm..that analogy may be a bit hyperbolic ;-)
@unixrab @thumperchick @medz
our evil plot to sabotage @unixrab is working!
@carl669 I wouldn't put it past @snapster he's done it before: [][1] [1]: https://www.woot.com/Forums/viewpost.aspx?postid=2919933&pageindex=36&replycount=1627#post2966310
I believe we should all have an opportunity to restore at least 1 of our missed meh's as retribution for @marklog's carelessness!
@TaRDy I don'te even think it's carelessness... I think something is either wrong with the cookies or the redirect from sign-in IF you attempt to "meh" an item without being logged in - it redirects - and 90% that works...but a few times I've been redirected to irk404 -- they'll find it one day and I will be VINDICATED AHAHAHAHAHAHA ... ahem. sorry.
Weird, I actually saw that mine wasn't showing as registered yesterday either. And I know I meh'd!
@Cinoclav it begins
@Cinoclav: I've had the same experience, FWIW.
My streak is still going strong!
@Ignorant ...for now.
MAYBE IT BOTHERS ME MORE THAN IT SHOULD!
There is something off with the meh button, @DaveInSoCal has the best explanation of what I think is happening. It’s letting you click and see the face even though you’re not logged in. This happened to me 12 days in and then again here recently. I was going to skip every 13th one for a year in protest but F@#$ it, I give up.
MAYBE IT BOTHERS ME MORE THAN IT SHOULD!
After thought, CURSE YOU @marklog!!
Fellow Meh'ers ... I get it. This issue hasn't yet affected a lot or even a majority of people. It exists. That's all I'm saying. If it's not addressed now - fine. I can live with my "imperfect" record. Keep the URL and if/when it affects you... post here. Maybe they'll be able to pin it down. ...if it even matters. I doubt it does... because, even now... I'm bored with this stupid discussion. Just thought I'd document it. I'm glad it hasn't eff'd up your broken streak. Carry on.
As someone suggested, it's probably on your browser's end. If possible, clear your browser cache and then go back to the page to see if it's still clicked. Or, you could try a different browser or device to check it to be sure.
@unixrab now that you are bored with the discussion, I can admit that the issue has also occurred on my account. (but I'm not sure if it was my fault or not)
@snapster thank you. I felt the same on 8/3 but yesterday I know I visited beyond any doubt.
[hangs head in shame with @unixrab]
@snapster you still did a great job while on a Disney cruise!
@marklog indeed. they enjoyed providing me with that expensive wifi too.
I was at the site when I missed but couldn't recall if I pressed the button. I guess if I see the meh face I'd know.
@snapster refer to my image at the top. maybe together we can cobble together a full calendar. ;-)
@unixrab so hmm I don't think I've seen that meh face before... but it's not that distinct so still not certain.
@snapster Wait, you went on a Disney cruise?
@snapster is it irony that your level of recall makes me feel exactly the way said meh face looks? /Eerie
For @unixrab:
and @snapster, apparently. Epic CEO FAIL!
@medz thx... I guess I'm in good company.
Did anyone else notice the August 8th meh face was incorrect for a couple days after August 8th? It was staring right at me instead of looking up and to the left.
Some people did have this issue early on. It's not just you. I was just trying to give you a way to not lose your streak in the future, or try not to anyway!
@Thumperchick doesn't really seem that important to me now. ..but thanks. #dejected
This seems like it will be a tough one to nail down with so many variables, but I'll make sure we look into it as much as we can.
@JonT the success of the whole meh website is dependent upon it!
@JonT: I now show three un-meh'd dates for August, and I know I've checked (and meh'd) every damn day. [sigh]
@JonT Can you at least figure out how to give us our missing meh faces back? My Aug 15th is MIA as of this evening.
@Kidsandliz I'm still selling meh face stickers behind the mediocre offices, you just stick it right to your monitor and you'll never lose it again.
@Ignorant Snort. I want the genuine, now will have to be, refurbished thing.
Thanks.
The fact that people care so much about clicking a little Meh face = brilliant marketing!
@unixrab, thanks for proving that the world won't end if someone misses a faceclick (not that you did).
That said, I haven't missed a face since I figured out it's okay to click Meh even if ordering.
@KDemo me either. :-|
@KDemo What? You are sure? The world won't end? Who told you this? Woot?
Attica! Attica! Attica!
Last night was the first time I had trouble with my little meh fella. I came to the site shortly after the change (10pm MDT), looked at the product, clicked the button and saw the new face, scrolled down to see how many had sold, and left to do something more productive. Hours later I came back to read the write-up, watch the video and answer the survey, and was surprised to see the little monocled face was no longer there. I clicked on it again and then checked back later to make sure he was still there.
For those suggesting unknowingly being logged out, I did not have to log in between the click that didn't take and the click that did. There is obviously some kind of bug, but it's random enough that I suspect it will take awhile to track down.
Ditto, here on a couple days. So far I have reclicked before the change. I missed some early ones thinking it was a statement on the product. I was thinking about streaking no meh clicks.
Heh the same thing happened to me today... well i realized today, happened a couple days ago
15 minutes.
Thats the time it takes for you to recover from the shock that your perfect streak is gone! :)
Had a contest going with a fellow Meh follower and Kickstarter. He beat me in by a few days (I got day one for the shirts but was away after that). So he was ahead but I knew it was only a matter of time. I gloated a bit when he missed a day only 16 days in. Then I missed one...clearly bitten by the bug here because I KNOW I checked it from my phone. No love.
And you all wonder why I hate Irk and want him to die a slow, painful death?
I've started reloading the page afterwards to make sure the Meh and forum vote actually took.
@jqubed That's what I do, also. I wonder if people are clicking 'meh' before the page finishes loading completely on the times it doesn't register. I'm at 38 days now, so I'm really hoping this doesn't happen to me anytime soon.
Dammit...this finally got me. Longest streak was 36, and now I get to start over. Meh.
Just happened to me 30 mins ago I clicked it but it just spun & spun. Then I went to put the dog out & it was a new day when I refreshed, but the meh never came through.
I just saw I just lost last Friday's (aug 15). It has faithfully been there and then all of a sudden I look this evening and it is GONE GONE GONE… I wonder if we are being randomly being punished for something by meh? WAAAHHHHHHH
My meh face click didn't get recorded yesterday, and it drove me to drink. Thanks, mediocre labs!
Curse you, and your experiments, Mediocre Labs! Look what you are doing to society.
They're dropping like flies. Soon I'll be meh grand champion button clicker!
