What is Digg?149 Comments
- Buddhist, on 10/12/2007, -6/+168There are at least 3 topics with 10,000+ diggs: Saddam's Death, James Kim's Death, and the iPhone.
- TekeeTakShak, on 10/12/2007, -3/+125See at the very bottom left of this page? See what it says?
I'll read it for you: "Report a Website Bug" - dagnabbit, on 10/12/2007, -3/+114This is a story about digg I don't even need to digg because I see the whole story on the homepage of digg.
- Xinareiaz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+91The story about Steve Irwin has 11000ish
- userChris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5124 hours? ***** that, it had more than 10,000 diggs within 5 hours. Just insane.
- philovivero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42Heh. Yeah. CSS bug. Will probably be fixed within the hour. Daniel already coded up the fix. Now it's just about getting it onto the main site. (In case you wonder, it's not as easy as just sticking a file onto a webserver to make such a change happen. You gotta be careful you don't cause the whole of Digg to go down when making a supposedly simple change like this)
- LiveFastDieOld, on 10/12/2007, -2/+37It's less sweet that 200 diggs is causing problems for litfuel.net.
- djSyndrome, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35If it weren't for Digg's 'We'll be back shortly' page, I may have never found Ask A Ninja.
- VeganBob, on 10/12/2007, -4/+35So, you want a mirror? :-)
http://digg.com/ - CasaMan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23There are other stories with more than 10.000. So it wasn't like they didn't expect it.. Just a CSS bug..
- rotarychainsaw, on 10/12/2007, -4/+26digging up for the use of the word digg.
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 08/11/2008, -9/+30Who gives a flying crapola about a font/css issue? Man, is this the very definition of LAME!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+25idiots digg anything with "digg" in the title
- ReRush, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21And the optimus keyboard was in the 10000's.
- saleem, on 10/12/2007, -7/+22Why are we digging stories that are INHERENTLY on the front page?
- modpancake, on 10/12/2007, -10/+23Please see http://digg.com/apple/100_Diggs_on_Digg_UI_story_causing_bandwidth_problems_for_Litfuel_net
- Netmindstorm, on 10/12/2007, -10/+22To solve the counter problem they should have switched to the metric system like NASA did: http://digg.com/space/NASA_Finally_Goes_Metric
- tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15Well ironically the error wouldn't happen if tables were used. I'm not advocating their use, just saying.
- mfratt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11On the note of comments, Digg really has to do something about the size of comment pages. Anything with a few hundred comments takes a while to load, and things with a ton (like the roughly 1200 the iPhone story has), can take a full 5-10 minutes to load. I know, I'm using Comcrapst, but still...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+17It's causing problems for my computer too - am at work on a laptop (centrino) with IE (i know, i know). The page locks for a couple of minutes trying to open the damn page! I won't be able to easily refresh this page soon enough!
- jmkiii, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14Will it beat DIGG V3 for the most dugg story in the past year. Go baby go!
- letdowntourist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9iphone story causes problems for digg.
digg causes problems for litfuel.net - darkstar949, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Apparently articles with more than 1,000 posts also slow down high speed internet connections as well...
- CapeKid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Hoov, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Because you touch yourself at night.
- JimmyLin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8This is why CSS + DIVs > Tables. A small error can easily be fixed without having to heavily modify the entire page.
- NanoStuff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6That's the last thing they should worry about. The comment system is a nightmare when you're nearing 1000.
- dawgma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Thanks for pointing something out.... that I can already see.... ON THE FRONT PAGE.
- joe90210, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5nevermind the bar on the right, how about fixing the issue of trying to load 600+ freakin' comments at once, break into pages dammit!
- sfmman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I warned Digg about this a long time ago ;-)
http://www.digg.com/software/A_Curious_Experiment:_What_Happens_When_A_Story_Receives_Over_99999_Diggs_ - rabidgnome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Wow - a story on the front page about...the front page. Everyone who sees this story can also see the bug for themselves. Just bury this *****
- madoxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4it has been fixed!!
- syl1985, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4this is incredibly lame, and it's fixed.
- SonicRush, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Absolutely. And all the replies to the first post just to get closer to the top have got to be stopped somehow.
- cheztir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Looks like they fixed it as of 6:30 EST At least on Firefox 2 and Safari
- philovivero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5"Who gives a flying crapola about a font/css issue? Man, is this the very definition of LAME!"
You know, we in the office assumed the Digg users would agree and bury this story. Guess not. I'm not sure what makes this story interesting...
Perhaps it's just the novelty of "these guys do this for a living, and yet sometimes something small can slip through the cracks." Or maybe it's the novelty of a website like Digg, with the traffic it has, still having a very small, tightknit team that doesn't do all the months of QA before releasing new versions/features. Imagine seeing an error this "glaring" on Yahoo or Microsoft. Probably wouldn't happen, because they have thousands of employees whose job descriptions are basically "look at everything in excrutiating detail for months before letting anything out the doors."
Or, maybe people just want to see that we're human after all?
In any case, apparently people don't think it's as lame as we initially thought it would be. - sfacets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3the iPhone article is in production @ Wikipedia, maybe Digg users can pitch in? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/iPhone
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Good work Phil. Tell Dan I said good job on the quick fix.
- nothix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3you have no room to talk, the site has already crashed, gtfo.
- donkeycrock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3mirror, link is down
- subxero37, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I can see this being a worthwhile story if, for example, it messed up the actual front page. But as it is now, it's like saying, "New CSS change causes Digg logo to be 5 pixels more to the right!"
- awesomepossum94, on 10/12/2007, -0/+310k digg this too?
- koick, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5by the way, 10.0k has the same number of characters as 10000
- 80211mdr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Title should be:
"500 Diggs on story causing UI problems for litfuel"
"Guess the developers of litfuel couldn't see 500 diggs on a story any time soon." - Shenaniganz08, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I will not dig this story, but i have to say that loading all 1200 comments raised my cpu temp from 50C to 55C ( ambient temp is 43).
Me thinks there should be a page break after 1000 comments - DubbleA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I beat you by one hour. So why wasn't mine dugg? Edit: Checked your rank. Now I see
http://digg.com/tech_news/Digg_Error_Discovered_Digg_Top_10_cannot_handle_over_9_999_diggs - starguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Check out the link to my newest product, the iclit. Formerly known as the eclit, it wasn't selling so much, so I rebranded it. Had to hire a PR company and pay them $200,000 to come up with a new, snazzier generation Y web 2.0 name.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yea, in under 24 hours.
15,000 right now.
This is great for Apple. This means 15,000+ will think about getting an iPhone. - FrankieB078, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's been fixed.
