The New Digg Just May work

ob81.com — After several hours of browsing the interface of the new Digg, I have come to the conclusion that Kevin and co. may actually be on to something.

  • blogsper, on 10/10/2007, -21/+212the new digg is awesome .
    • lava, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30Except for the fact that sorting by most diggs is screwed up right now and it's pissing me off. That's my default view, and the sort is random. In order to get it working Ihave to go to another view, and then go back to view by most diggs.
      • slkuhn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6How do you make the default view for upcoming stories, "sort by most diggs" . this has been bugging me and i just can't seem to find the setting.
      • lava, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Oh, I meant sorting comments by most diggs.
    • magicmarc, on 10/10/2007, -3/+48New digg may work. Your website's hosting, however, may not.
      - duggmirror missed it.
      • sint4x, on 10/10/2007, -11/+1Digg didnt work this time
      • picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1The new Digg works better than this guy's website. +1
    • fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -11/+2It's definitely getting better. But that could just be cause my new desktop has a lot more grunt than my laptop. I wish they'd gone more www.digg-whore.com style with the activity though.

      All they need to do now is finish optimising everything and focus the community on something more worthwhile than 30 second video clips of some idiot doing something stupid.
      • Alright, on 10/10/2007, -22/+2you have a laptop and a desktop cool.
      • Soccrmastr, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7This thread right here is the cancer that is killing Digg.

        Anyone else remember the old Digg, quality stories, the whole site centered on tech with people who are techies. Now it's a LOT more general, with a lot of new people.
        • armbar, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5I think it's better that Digg has more people now and is more general; you get what you want by filtering the stories to the tech only, and I get what I want by dropping obscure, overused 4chan memes in the other threads.

          Why not take advantage of the good things Digg has going for it to reduce the number of problems that annoy you? You can easily filter out story categories that you don't like, block people that annoy you, and actually help make Digg a better place by providing useful commentary. Gather a group of friends that consistently digg stories that you like and read those first. You can get quality if you want to, you just need to make an effort.

          Also, I remember the "old days" too, and the stories were even worse most of the time. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I would see the front page covered with nothing but Ubuntu, Wii, CSS Top 10 lists, and [AMAZING!!!]. It hasn't exactly degraded since then...it's always been like that.
        • BossKey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yeah, wouldn't it be great if, say, the top of the site had categories and you could avoid the general news by clicking on the "Tech" category. Wow, it would be like having the Digg you want. It sure would be nice. I have a pretty good idea about how long we'll have to wait to see that feature. I think it might be possible like RIGHT ABOUT NOW.
        • stonr2, on 10/10/2007, -4/+0digg was never good.
        • unitedstatians, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Good synopsis armbar, I also gladly welcome more general geeks (Techies), but what Soccrmastr tried to communicate was, Over the recent year-and-a-half, the user base has shifted from real geeks to pseudo-nerds, before stories in the technology section of Digg out numbered every other category. A major reason I spend time checking what is on Digg is that it often has stories that are not reported elsewhere. It's obvious, because of the site's increasing popularity, this advantage has gone away. And believe it or not, I’m getting sad @ Digg as well, the articles are not relevant to me anymore- not as much as they used to be anyway - but this does not mean they aren’t “good” or as there maybe a flaw with my site’s management methodologies vs. tools’, as armbar pointed out.

          digg in, geek on. [*does a ninja bow*]
    • Twoodge, on 10/10/2007, -15/+5It is, but I fear an abundance of duplicate comments will still occur.
    • Twoodge, on 10/10/2007, -16/+7It is, but I fear an abundance of duplicate comments will still occur.
      • colto, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Oh you did that on purpose!
      • MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Yes, but do you fear an abundance of duplicate comments will still occur?
        • xister, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Ha ha- this question coming from a Mac "parrot".
      • humperdeath, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2I bet you did that on purpose!
    • Fracture98, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21How the heck could they forget to show your comment digg count?! They went to all the trouble to show you the comments you've made. Neaveru for a while longer, I guess. (Of *course* I know it's narcissistic.)
      • misterjangles, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1i've always thought digg was a little difficult as far as being able to go back and, heaven forbid, actually follow up on a comment you made. Also the stories show only the sum of your digg up and down count. So if you have 100 up and 99 down, it will just show -1.
        • BruceBogtrotter, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Actually it would be +2. 1+100 - 99 = 2.
    • mercurysquad, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10It is, but I fear an abundance of duplicate comments will still occur.
      • WaltDismal, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Agreed. They added shiny bells and whistles but didn't fix some key problems in the main functionality. For instance, Digg still causes Javascript in some browsers to run very slowly and freeze things. Due to bad coding practice; I give them a C- on that alone.
        • WaltDismal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1(12 hours later) And I'm getting really angry at seeing the "Your session has expired; please relogon" message over and over which I didn't get before yesterday's change. Hey Digg, a tip for you: beta testing is a good thing. Make the damned software WORK properly. Looks like your database coders are slackers.
    • Shiner6, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2I digg the new digg.
      • picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2dugg
      • Waterrat, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1 I like it...I was really afraid the upgrade would delete my favorite Diggs,but they are there!
        This is more social now..Which is a good thing.
    • PAJK, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2http://duggmirror.com
    • Herolint, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11I agree that the history is better than it used to be, but why not include the number of diggs/buries your comment has right there on the history screen instead of making you click on it to see.

      The fewer clicks required to use the site the better.
    • OBKenobi, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11The comments... fix the comment system!
    • slkuhn, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Holy ***** nearly 800 people have looked at my profile.... I feel all tingly/ scared.
      I don't know if this is a new feature but I never saw that before.
    • arjie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Well, it's broken all those other programs that try to retrieve comments from digg. The comments page on the Profile should show how many replies that comment has. That's what I think anyway.
    • esotericguy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I CANT VIEW THIS NEW DIGG FROM MY PS3s WEB BROWSER!
      OH NOES!!!1
  • irkenzim, on 10/10/2007, -8/+139Yeah, it's certainly more social - seven users have added me as a friend already today. The only problem, as I see it at the moment, is that it now takes more clicks to digg a story submitted by a friend. That's annoying.
    • FyreGoddess, on 10/10/2007, -4/+28I don't know why that's a good thing for most users. I choose very carefully whose comments and diggs I actually want to pay attention to. When I see all these people adding me who are already "fans of" more than 500 Diggers, I can't help but question their motives.
      • IvanB, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19All in all, people that add a lot of friends on Digg are just hoping that this process will help their stories. When in fact, it really won't.
        • masterthiefster, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2Statistically, it could. If 50 of those 500 fans digg the story, that's 50 extra diggs to raise the chance of the algorithms bringing it to the top.

          The algorithms will no doubt have changed, but it used to be that you could get a story to the front page of digg (not just of the topic) by getting at least 14 diggs within a certain period.
        • humperdeath, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1But if I told 2 friends to digg a story, and they each told two friends to digg it, and they told two more, and so on and on and on and asstunnel etc.
    • Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5I think it's a good thing that more and more people are adding you as friends, for the simple fact that you will get more exposure, more diggs.
      • FyreGoddess, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7How can anyone effectively monitor hundreds of users, their comments and submissions? It's a serious question. Sure, the more people who have me added, the more people will see what I write, but since I rarely submit anything, how is that going to do me any good? And considering the sheer number of people these folks are adding, what are the real chances that they'll be more effective than, say a handful of people who actually pay attention to what their few carefully selected friends are doing?
        • jj101, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1I'm guessing these are rhetorical questions and will just agree with you. Each to their own though, hey?
        • arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11They're adding you because you're a girl.
      • neuwill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0More Diggs? Its sounds to me like you own a website that you want to promote!
    • mojaam, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5I also noticed the extra clicks, this might be a stretch but it could be to generate more traffic I suppose. We'll see if digg's current rankings on compete or alexa will improve in the upcoming weeks.
    • arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -3/+42I don't want it to be social. If i wanted social networking, I'd get a myspace page. I want news and discussion of the news, not Facebook.

      I want to submit stories and they get there by their own merit and acutally democratically because they got lots of diggs, not because some algorithm looks at how social I am and decides if I have the cred to get to the front page. I don't come here to connect and build a social circle. I come here to read the news and to debate the news and to see all the different persepectives that each person brings and their interpretation of the news.

      The more "social" digg becomes, the more social you will HAVE to be to get on the front page. That's not right.
      • JackDoyle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6It'll be the new MySpace before you know it... you'll have 10,000 friends by next week.
      • Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2it seems that you don't know how DIGG truly works then...
        The golden rule of DIGG is the more friends you have the more diggs you get. Look at Mr.BabyFace. He could put up some absolute *****, and still make the front page. And the only reason it works for him, is because he has a ***** of friends!
        And this is nothing like MySpace or Facebook. Just because you can suddenly leave comments, it's a MySpace clone?
      • Vash265, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I think you're at the wRong site thEn. Digg Doesn't provIde you wiTh exactly what you're looking for, but there are other options, and you'll find themI
    • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -2/+5haha...today I finally befriended all the users who have befriended me in the past.
    • xalax, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1friend or "fan"?
      I love the word FAN because then I have one...
      ***** you Brad Pitt and your dirty look that makes all the girls go...
  • irkenzim, on 10/10/2007, -60/+4Yeah, it's certainly more social - seven users have added me as a friend already today. The only problem, as I see it at the moment, is that it now takes more clicks to digg a story submitted by a friend. That's annoying.
    • rpgmaker, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16So the bug is still there....
      • Archeologist, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1It has never happened to me. Has anyone figured out why or when this happens? It could be just the person clicking Submit Comment twice.
        • molochi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Could be, but it's happened to me when it wasn't a double click.
      • irkenzim, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'm sure I only clicked it once, but could be wrong. I think this is the only comment I got added twice.
    • GiveItASqueeze, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3dont want to strain that pointer finger with all this clicking. you wana take five and i'll take over for a bit?
  • tamar, on 10/10/2007, -16/+86So essentially you're saying it's good because of the shouting ability and the ability to make friends. It doesn't address the fact that Digg is a *social news* site. Did Kevin and co. lose sight of that?

    If this is your type of desired social network, why not use Facebook instead?
    • obeezy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Tamar, I feel every post that you wrote today :) Initially, I was pissed at the updates. You are completely right, digg is about news, and that's it. The fact stands that I had solid digg friends that I could never communicate with initially, now I can. They did shaft the friends section with the no description and more clicks to digg, but if that portion gets changed, you can't be mad with being able to communicate better with people you spend hours at a time with digging news.
      • Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I don't consider this anything like facebook. Because it's all still the same, but now, you have the ability to communicate with the people that digg your stories. And I like that new feature.....

      • tomboy501, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Agreed, obeezy. I really like the communication aspects and the beefed up profiles. And, the more I think about it, the shafted friends section was a sacrifice digg made to control the blind digging that was going on...which I think was out of control. I guess it was inevitable. I hope they do end up making adjustments to the friends submitted, though...at least allow the URL to be shown.

        Not being able to easily use my friends list as a filtered new content feed is going to take some getting used to, though. Maybe diggspy is the answer. It's suddenly seems to be so nice and ...speedy .
      • tamar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Obeezy, right, so it will work with what you say. My two small requests at this point would be to:
        1. Add the description to all pages and submissions (and restore the URL too so I know that it's, say, a story I already read at Gizmodo versus a blogspam entry from asdfspammerofdeathjsfhdf.blogspot.com).
        2. Let me choose to Digg my friends' stories. Obviously I trust them over the spammers in upcoming.
        I do NOT want to click twice to see just a single damn description. Lame.
        • unitedstatians, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You can always see the complete URL+filename of a link on any browser by enabling show 'status bar', from the view menu> toolbars.
    • Ramble, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4Agreed. The only updates Digg needs are a better commenting system (and perhaps better ways to digg stories). This is a news site not some social networking bollocks.
    • Aidenag, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6It's so true Tamar.. Even worse, im already seeing thing shift to myspace mob mentality already. Users with pictures of there boobs are already dominating the shoutout feature. Not even the sites most active top users are getting the shoutouts brand new users with hot avatars are..

      The days of Digg being about NEWS is over im afraid..
      • tomboy501, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I think we need to consider a couple of new hot avatars, Mark. Your A-Team and my "commie"/Heineken/Macys red star aren't going to cut it anymore on the new digg.
    • darnit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I ***** you not (direct quote from digg's new shouts):

      Hi-
      Thanks for the add. Feel free to IM me with any of your new submits.
      aim: ************

      What's next? Glitter Graphics?
  • SilenceGold, on 10/22/2007, -3/+84Shout = spam news to friends.
  • khalidhajsaleh, on 10/10/2007, -10/+1The new features are nice. The thing I did not like most is the updated updated terms of use? did not sound "digg" like! AND I can not read the new CAPTCHA!
  • jollyholly, on 10/10/2007, -1/+56I have to keep refreshing pages just to Digg stories or comment..

    I like the new Digg but I miss some things..
    • Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11yea. I'm having the same problems... I am constantly hitting F5
    • flickerbrain, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Give it time, i'm sure their still working some of the small kinks out.
    • HigherLogic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Don't seem to have that issue, what browser are you using?
  • FyreGoddess, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32"You now have to click through the story to digg it, which most would agree is what you should do anyway."

    Agreed, but I shouldn't have to click through just to read the description.
    • fuxjoey, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14Agreed. It's ridiculous. It's so obvious that it's design for more clicks rate for them.
      • Waterrat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1 And spam is just as easy to spot,what a shame we have to go to the spammer's retched page before we can bury them.
    • sdcarter, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I just dugg two stories up and didn't click on anything but "Digg it" on the main page. Guess it doesn't work for everyone.
    • jordan314, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah this would be great if it worked, but what is he talking about? I just dugg a front page story without reading it.
  • fuxjoey, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19I don't mind the whole social networking implementation. It doesn't really change my way of using Digg. But I just wish that they could somehow figure out a way to improve the "speed" of the site. Because it requires us to click more links now and it's painful to wait for pages to load up slowly.
    • thatgirlismine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I totally agree, and have always wondered why Digg doesn't focus more on reducing the number of pageloads required to do certain tasks.

      Take for example the Bar at the top of the site for switching sections. If i recall in Digg v1 of v2, you could get to different News/Video subsections without intermediate page loads.
  • sbader, on 10/10/2007, -0/+74is anyone else having problems with sessions expiring, and fatal errors when digging articles and comments?
    • FyreGoddess, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16That's a new one... for me, it only started about an hour ago.

      And then I hit submit and not only got both "session has expired" AND a fatal error, but upon refresh, my Friends Activity went to 0. Don't know if it's true or not because I'm trying to post *this* comment.

      And then it happened again, and my friends activity counter came back, so who knows...
      • FyreGoddess, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14And then I tried to edit this comment... you know, the one I'm replying to? And Digg told me it doesn't exist.
      • Hortnon, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8I was about to say that I'd never seen any of this, then it started happening on every article that I went to. I blame heavy traffic, but who knows...
    • Coven, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5This is buggy as hell. At least on IE7. I hope it isn't this bad when I get home from work and get to surf with FireFox.
      • MaynardJK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I'm getting all of the above mentioned errors with Firefox as well.
    • Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14I'm on FireFox, and I keep getting errors. I have to constantly hit f5, just to digg a story or comment on it.
      • svartling, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Same here. Errors in both Firefox and Flock.
    • vSuperLuminal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I continually get errors and annoyances. I get a lot of "session has expired" and "Oops wrong Captcha" ***** warnings which are ridiculously incorrect. Yeah, its buggy as hell and equally annoying.
    • iceschade, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Yes, I have the same problem Bukowsky has. Repetitive F5 Usage.
    • dep01, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1http://digg.com/software/Digg_Releases_New_Feature ...
    • cbuddha42, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Firefox here and getting the same errors on multiple machines. Loging out and back in seems to work better than just spaming f5 for me.
    • rootstyle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I got a nice cryptic timeout in a Javascript popup yesterday when I tried to digg a comment. Had the IP address and port listed of what I presume to be a Digg cluster server as well as the fact that it had timed out while trying to work its AJAX magic.

      Not to mention the slew of 'session expired' this week.. :/
    • meshman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I apologize in advance for the rant but...

      I dream of taking Digg's server(s) and pitching them off the top of the god damned building they're housed in. The "remember me" checkbox is a ***** cruel joke. It does nothing. Not a god damned thing. Refresh does not log you back in. Christ, one day I dugg an article, went back and it still said Digg This. So I clicked on it again and I was logged out! So I logged back in, dugg the article, went back and it's not dugg! I clicked on the article AGAIN... and I'm logged out!!! Hire a freaking programmer.
      • neuwill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Erm hire a decent browser, tbh.... This isnt a digg issue, ive been logged in for well over a week now, this is probably a browser issue, cookies disabled?
    • HigherLogic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I've seen these comments a lot recently, but haven't noticed this in Opera. Is it limited to Firefox and IE7? Are other Opera users experiencing this too?
    • bjornski, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Turn off your ad-blocker and try. It's working just fine for me now.

      That's a shady, ***** thing to do.
  • Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Can anyone see where the "Who Has Befriended This User" button went?
  • g00ee, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25I like that you can go straight to your comments without "Expand Full Tree" and Ctrl+F.
    • astrosmash, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, but it's just a baby step closer to real comment systems that have been implemented on sites like Slashdot since the 90s.

      The profile page shows comments, finally, but it doesn't show the comment digg count, nor does it give any indication if someone has replied to your comment. So it's basically useless as far as comments are concerned.

      Once again, the Digg developers miss the mark by a mile. And can you say bugs? Hoo-yeah.
  • UtopiaInTheSky, on 10/10/2007, -14/+7Picture section? New comment system? No, I don't see them yet...
    • omarciddo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3October, dude (which isn't that far away). Still mastering English, or do you just like watching yourself complain?
  • zeroMPHfallover, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Your opinion is suspended.
  • Razster, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Bluehost.com Host goes down again.
    • mucnix, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I like their suggestion: "Using static .html documents instead of painful .php scripts will practically eliminate CPU usage."
      can't argue with that logic
  • diggitdawg, on 10/10/2007, -7/+3When I click on the article link, I get "This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota". Great way to introduce the new Digg.
  • Assim, on 10/10/2007, -6/+0The new Digg is super-fantastic, it would be great to have private messages in Digg.
  • thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Wait.... WHAT???

    A change to the digg interface that doesn't have half of the users up in arms about how crappy the change is?
    • KevenM, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1actually, half is just about accurate. See the other Digg story floating around here. You'll find that other half.
  • jonr, on 10/10/2007, -8/+6New digg? Where?
  • renegadeafk, on 10/10/2007, -3/+40HOLY ***** I CAN FIND COMMENTS
    • atbnet, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Yeah this feature is awesome. I was tired of going back to commented stories and CTRL+Fing.
      • foreignwarren, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I didn't even KNOW about CTRL+F!! But definitely love the new way to view your own comments (as well as have a way to check out the comments of others easily)....I don't know if this makes me a narcissist but I like to go back and check out my old comments sometimes! If just to see how many people agreed or disagreed with whatever I said...
  • NyteStarNyne, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Well that was fast... Get some better bandwidth bud.
  • feeser, on 10/10/2007, -1/+38The 'sort by most diggs' feature for the comment system doesn't work.

  • dakilla91, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2And the site is down...great :/
  • expat001, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1adding photo's is nice but I changed my icon several hours ago and it still is not reflective in my comment icon.

    One surprise was seeing that I have made over 1200 comments in 3 months.
  • thenewkasanova, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2We all know diggers don't have the greatest social life, but only now I realize don't even have any Digg friends....
    • masterthiefster, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Don't worry, at least three people will feel sorry for you after reading this comment and will add you as a friend.
  • tingrin87, on 10/10/2007, -6/+6This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota
  • nd_miller, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2So far I'm really enjoying the changes. Thanks boys and the one girl, right?
    Although the insight into Kevin's mind is kind of...lame. Seriously add him as a friend and check out his shouts.
  • Plxply, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1It is not going to be the new digg with servers like that!
  • NeMeSiS187, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I'm still waiting for the ability to search my own diggs. It's really sad that I have to use a 3rd party site just to do a simple search.
    • fuxjoey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3google is much much much faster than digg search.
  • damndj, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1LOL BLUEHOST
  • Skanadian, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15The new digg is only good if you have friends.
    • Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1do you have any friends?
    • picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1How is it possible I have 196 profile views and NO friends?
    • KevenM, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1what is this 'friends' thing you speak of?
  • evaldas, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2http://www.duggmirror.com
    • seandfeeney, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2how about checking diggmirror next time
  • yuukanna, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10Is it just me, or does the new digg sessions time out more frequent (I've had it time me out repeatedly as I sign in... it's frustrating.
    • mrurc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2For me it sometimes "timed out" after 20 seconds. That sounds like a server bounce to me. It seems better now though.
    • bjornski, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1As I mentioned elsewhere. I was having HUGE problems staying logged in, etc, until I turned off my ad-blocker.

      No ad-blocker? No Digg.
  • Notyavgkat, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1site was down...but I agree...the new setup is definately alot better...good job boys
  • sicc, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16Now all they need to do is fix the HORRIBLE loading times.
    • nexlogic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2What kind of connection are you on? Seems fine to me.
    • Tishiablo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Yeah, for me it takes like 5 seconds for a page to even start loading =
  • menwuur, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3"The new digg may just work" ... page down. The new digg has alot of potential, But we really need to see them handle mirrors automatically. Digg becomes pointless when 5 out of 8 articles I'm trying to digg are down. I do like the new profile thing a lot and can see where they are going with that.

    Also I think adding a bookmark feature under "digg" with a page that lets me check articles I wanted to save for later rather than digging them to do so would be great and take care of that problem as well. Come on these aren't that big of requests!


  • seandfeeney, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4This is much better than pownce.
  • Shinnokxz, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1CPU quota. That's a new one.
  • getjustin, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota
  • ajmuir, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3The new account images arn't sticking for me...I upload, crop and save but it reverts to my old image!
    • nd_miller, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Same thing happened to me last night, just give the system sometime.
    • antdude, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Wait a few hours after your submission. I had the same proble last night. It showed up today.
  • dep01, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4it'll be more awesome once they work out the bugs....
    • GrabAss, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I'm getting some new problems, "Session expired" and "Fatal Error" after trying to add a comment or digg/bury a comment. Hopefully that will go away.
  • harlowsmonkeys, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4After several minutes of repeatedly needing to refresh pages in order to digg comments up or down, because of session timeouts, and pop-ups about fatal errors, and the inability to edit my comments (because I have to refresh because of the session timeout, and then the comment is not editable), my conclusion is that the new digg sucks donkey lincolns at the moment.
    • KevenM, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1You're using IE aren't you?
      • bjornski, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1No, I use Firefox.

        The ONLY reason I use IE is to use Windows Update.
        • bjornski, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1And again. Once I turned off AdBlock Plus, everything works just fine.

          Good thing they can't detect and stop ad-muncher or proxy software.
    • bjornski, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'm not, and I'm having the same problems. I have to log in on every page that I visit if I want to post, and half the time even THAT isn't staying.

      I had to turn off my ad-blocker.

      Is THAT their new gimmick? Screw with the people running ad-blockers?
  • MAGZine, on 04/22/2008, -4/+5I'm sorry, I don't like the 'new' Digg. I like the concept of Digg, but I feel that it can do without a friends system. Its turning more and more into a community blog, and I'm kind of sad to see it go that way. I'd like a Digg only Digg, the way it used to be.
  • Frozo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Is it me or is there still no way of seeing overal digg stats on your comments? Also, digg status on any given comment should be included in your profile. And why do they only show you a recent activity list of your comments? I should be able to review any comment Ive ever made at any given time.
    • unitedstatians, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's most likely the digg crew will revert these practical functions, to their previous working ways, once they can complete the full integration of the new plus 'old' database.

      You use this free 3 rd party site to feed the your comment stats craving, try Neaveru's Digg comment statistics Viewer. Works for me. http://www.neaveru.com/digg/
  • h0zae, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1Diggspace, please add a digg 2.0 option.
  • secretivecoward, on 10/10/2007, -4/+4"After several hours of browsing the interface of the new Digg"

    That is very sad...dude you need a girlfriend
  • sdcarter, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3... still no photo section. I know... I know... it's coming.
  • heathuff23, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6will this "new digg" prevent me from having to see forwarded emails from 1991 on the home page?
  • Aric69, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4"This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota

    Please contact this site's webmaster.

    Wait a few minutes and use your browser's "Back" button or click here to try again.

    If you are the webmaster, your account may have gotten this error for one or more of the following reasons:

    * Your account has used more than its share of the cpu in the past 60 second sliding window.
    * Your account has too many concurrent processes running simultanously.
    * Your account has consumed too much memory.
    * Your site was recently very busy trying to run inefficient scripts.

    The solution would be to optimize your applications to use less CPU.
    Adding appropriate indeces to your SQL tables can often help reduce CPU.
    Using static .html documents instead of painful .php scripts will practically eliminate CPU usage.
