  • Furlong, on 07/06/2008, -5/+141why did you get that fail message?
    • Ribbys, on 07/06/2008, -3/+86shows up usually when you cant connect to Digg for whatever reason.
      • tas08, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4*****, I thought the whole point of this was all the stupid stories that had been dugg up and that this was a shopped pic to protest that...
      • articflames, on 07/10/2008, -0/+0same >_>
    • xGrill, on 07/07/2008, -11/+50OMG, its there
      http://chrisalvares.com/digg-epic-fail.png
      I swear this was not photoshoped
      • sourceholder, on 07/07/2008, -3/+28Fail.
      • SoulSk8er74, on 07/07/2008, -7/+2Epic Fail.
      • imac327, on 07/07/2008, -6/+2photoshopped.
      • EmperorClyde, on 07/07/2008, -6/+36The reflections are all wrong.
      • damntourists, on 07/07/2008, -1/+13use the application, "Customize" then you can edit the system strings...
      • WatchDogX, on 07/07/2008, -10/+2i can tell by the pixels and having seen a few shops in my time
      • litothegreat, on 07/07/2008, -4/+4technically everyone above me fails as the pic was not "photoshoped".
      • diggn_it, on 07/07/2008, -1/+1Because he typed "javascript:alert('FAIL')" into a bookmark and then synced it to his iPhone.
      • ftw8tw, on 07/07/2008, -1/+0Simpsons did it!
      • macintalk, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4javascript:alert('EPIC%20FAIL')
    • PathDaemon, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4In all seriousness, though, I'm getting this without fail (so to speak) when I'm on EDGE. it sucks: I can read headlines but not click on them, just get this error. I'll admit that I'm on T-Mobile, but this has just been happening for a few weeks... I'd really appreciate a fix.
    • patrflav, on 07/07/2008, -1/+42javascript:alert("FAIL")
      goes in the address bar
      • iDgg, on 07/07/2008, -29/+4omg i didnt know that!!!!! ty i know java but i didnt know this

        javascript: var x = window.prompt("if you are funny, please put lol in the box below"); if(x == "lol"){window.location ="http://www.xkcd.com"; window.alert("haha ur funny");} else{window.location="http://www.reddit.com"; window.alert("lol not funny");}

        ps - im not 5
        edit - weird, u cant use a backslash?
      • BladeMelbourne, on 07/07/2008, -2/+13This is Java, I know this!

        java != javascript
      • atgmac, on 07/07/2008, -1/+13OMG I didn't know that! Thanks, I know Java but I didn't know this. I wrote a dumb, quick program. I'm so bored lol.

        javascript:alert("If you can't spell then GTFO");

        PS: You could have fooled me.
        PPS: You're coding in a language and you don't even know its name. Un-*****-believable.
    • ca0abinary, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I had it happen when I had a customize theme installed. Any link I clicked on would not scroll over like normal but put up the FAIL dialog. Fortunately I remembered the last thing I had installed and restored my old theme. Sorry but digg is a great thing to do on the iPhone. Need that.
    • Mier, on 07/07/2008, -1/+2Because if you're not one of the top ten diggers you FAIL to get traction for your story.
    • KidxGhst, on 07/10/2008, -0/+0cause his iphones a pussy
  • serenityflexed, on 07/06/2008, -26/+1epic
    • wadester2489, on 07/07/2008, -2/+1fail guy....you
      • serenityflexed, on 07/09/2008, -1/+0You're being a smart ass but you're right: I failed horribly. I guess people just don't get it.
  • digitaldivinci, on 07/06/2008, -4/+27Anyone else having an 'error' with iphone Digg, where if you click any link before the page is 100% it will load a white page?
    • emhufaf, on 07/07/2008, -1/+14yes, I have always gotten this, ever since the site came out. I presume it has to do with the way it's written and so I just wait until it's finished loading.
    • t3hbagel, on 07/07/2008, -2/+6I try to go to Digg on my iPod Touch, and yeah, digg.com does NOT agree with Safari.
      • ookees, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2I thought I was the only one, I even contacted Digg, they said they were going to look into it, but its still happening. It sucks when u use google reader and click see original for a digg.com link and it messes up Safari.
      • p3ngwin, on 07/07/2008, -7/+1right.
        so without knowing the cause of the problem (you contacted Digg and they said they are investigating so BOTH of you knew not what the problem was), you assume Digg or google reader is messing up Safari?

        maybe your iPhone or Safari are the problem?
      • chrisxkelley, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4@p3ngwin:

        Wow, really? You do know that they're talking about the version of Digg made specifically for the MobileSafari browser, right?
    • jazzviolin, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4I was going to actually make a video of what it looks like on an iPhone. Digg.com locks the iPhone down, to the point where Safari is useless unless you hard restart.
  • cydlys, on 07/06/2008, -73/+7I don't like the iphone. My HTC Touch works amazing and it only cost me 50$ for the phone, a bluetooth headset and bluetooth speakers. This is just another reason why I boycotted Apple.
    • Scottievm, on 07/07/2008, -7/+68No one cares.
    • jumanji69, on 07/07/2008, -7/+11I have an HTC Touch and it's the worst piece of ***** ever. Windows Mobile FTL! Good luck viewing digg in ***** mobile internet explorer.
      • danomagnum, on 07/07/2008, -4/+2Mobile versions of browsers are not the same thing as the full versions. That's just silly.
      • specialK16, on 07/07/2008, -2/+8Opera Mobile is great compared to that piece of ***** IE mobile that comes with WM.
      • Murdats, on 07/07/2008, -2/+6yeah, internet explorer makes windows mobile suck because microsoft restricts what you put on your device.

        oh wait no it doesnt, you have a choice of several browsers if you dont like that one.
      • HolyChimp, on 07/07/2008, -5/+7And all of them combined don't come close to MobileSafari. Maybe if that Mobile Firefox demo from a while back become reality, but so far, the iPhone has the best browser in any phone, by far.
    • WorldLeader, on 07/07/2008, -4/+26Oh wow, I was about to make the horrible mistake of buying a new iPhone until I read your opinion about how the iPhone is worthless because it falls short of the HTC's included accessories. Thanks man!
  • duddy, on 07/07/2008, -12/+40Everyone email Digg feedback and let them know that you want a better version of the iPhone Digg site!

    I already have, requesting that we can see the Recommendation results, leaving comments and overall more functionality!
    • jspegele, on 07/07/2008, -6/+30it's an iphone. just view the standard digg site.
      • ExidusElectric, on 07/07/2008, -3/+0I've never viewed the mobile site on my iphone...
        I've also never had a problem with viewing digg on my iphone either on edge or wireless...
        and I visit the digg site from my iphone....a LOT
      • btschul, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4It messes up all the time. Comments don't load right, and every few minutes you get a "tool tip error" or some *****.
    • mike17032, on 07/07/2008, -8/+1I agree.

      It should say "EPIC FAIL" at the very least.
    • JeffHodsdon, on 07/07/2008, -1/+20We're working on it! Letting us know helps!

      As for the error, please let us know what exactly happened at http://digg.com/bugreport. Especially details about which story this error occurred.

      I will bring justice to Joe, the developer who coded this! :) hehe kidding.
    • marksands07, on 07/07/2008, -0/+9I agree. The current iPhone Digg works, but it's very limited and buggy. I'd like to see more comments and be able to reply to them at the very least.

      @jspegele why? There are some incredible iPhone apps that make user interaction great: iphone.facebook.com, m.twitter.com, iphone.collegehumor.com, deviantart's iPhone site, google.com/m. Why wouldn't Digg join the bandwagon.
    • Katana314, on 07/07/2008, -12/+1I have a question for you. Why should Digg cater to one specific brand of cell phone on the market just because it wants to do things differently? How about Apple makes an open standard of cell phone plugin for touch cellphones, instead of making programmers have to go to each end of the earth to satisfy their consumer base. Don't you dare digg me down if you're using Firefox, because your plugins have that same benefit to speak of.
  • schroeder, on 07/07/2008, -3/+14I just wish all the content was available in the iPhone version of the site. I want to see all the top stories and top upcoming at the very least.
    • 1platypus, on 07/08/2008, -0/+0Up until they fixed the comment system again I was able to use the regular site on my iPhone without any problems.
  • Croecop, on 07/07/2008, -15/+20Does that mean Digg sucks or iPhone sucks?
    • Raian, on 07/07/2008, -5/+36I think a little bit of both.
    • crackintosh, on 07/07/2008, -6/+12it means nothings perfect.
    • kevinisnthere, on 07/07/2008, -11/+4It means you fail.
    • shondell, on 07/07/2008, -10/+3It means your mom sucks
      • BladeMelbourne, on 07/07/2008, -0/+5Except when her nose is blocked, then she blows.
        I also like it when she takes her false teeth out.

        -Dad
    • scyon, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Yes.
    • bicycleman, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1 No question, it's iPhone. My WM5 HP Ipaq has no trouble at all with Digg.
  • CptGreencoat, on 07/07/2008, -8/+139I get it - like those cats, right?
  • webmastir, on 07/07/2008, -17/+284watch this stupid ***** make it to the FP
    • and303, on 07/07/2008, -4/+53Ok!
    • nericus, on 07/07/2008, -4/+34Welcome to the front page!
    • placidified, on 07/07/2008, -5/+4wow, dude you can predict future? Lottery numbers please ?
    • jackpot, on 07/07/2008, -3/+2Watch some dumbass write a comment on a link that he thinks is stupid *****.
  • credential101, on 07/07/2008, -4/+13How are you able to take screen caps of the iPhone like this?
  • alperea, on 07/07/2008, -21/+16QUICK.... bury this before anyone sees it! /fanboy
    • TweakNF, on 07/07/2008, -4/+3QUICK... bury it before anyone see's it! /*****
  • credential101, on 07/07/2008, -15/+5Mirror: http://tinyurl.com/34732v
  • frotastic, on 07/07/2008, -22/+1you fail if you bury me.
  • AChopra, on 07/07/2008, -10/+263His phone is jailbroken (notice Moma in place of AT&T).

    I am reporting to apple brb.
    • xchino, on 07/07/2008, -87/+1reporting what to apple? That he used his device in a completely legal manner? I'm sure they'll be absolutely livid.
    • shaun1018, on 07/07/2008, -1/+51Some of us detect jokes better than others.

  • scottsutherland, on 07/07/2008, -12/+21This submission FAIL. definitely not front page material.
    • doctordbx, on 07/07/2008, -1/+7Apple + 1
      Digg + 1
      Meme + 1

      How is this not front page material?
    • MrMax182, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Now its on front page. You FAILed.
  • Jerg3726, on 07/07/2008, -12/+104Umm.. is this really fp material?
    • dicknuts, on 07/07/2008, -2/+22No. No, it isn't. At all. What the ***** happened to this site?
    • masterkenobi, on 07/07/2008, -2/+2No, but I think that thousands of fanboys just lost their erection.
    • Nar1117, on 07/07/2008, -1/+7Well obviously. Can't you see? It has the iPhone, Digg, and FAIL. Now all we need is an HDR picture of Ron Paul with Obama, with MrBabyMan holding a religious sign that is anti-comcast and anti-RIAA in the background.
    • rjam710, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Yeah I could totally masturbate to this. wait... what? oh fp... ah wtf, fap fap fap!
    • DarkDx, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1The poverty pic made the FP.......
    • nicheplayer, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Digg is more fark than slashdot. What, exactly, were you looking for?
    • dood, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Yes. Enough people on digg enjoyed it, and now it's on the front page. That's how it works.
  • ironkhan, on 07/07/2008, -3/+30"Ten Great American Flag Bikini Moments" caught my eye.
  • grey580, on 07/07/2008, -5/+3OK?
    No it's definately NOT OK!
  • MendotaLee, on 07/07/2008, -11/+1I don't get it. Oh wait, are you trying to imply that everyone on digg is an iPhone loser? Haha that's kind funny....
  • SenorBudd, on 07/07/2008, -3/+2WOW That failed me.
  • BlackX4Life, on 07/07/2008, -3/+5front page?

  • MavRevMatt, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4So what happens when you try to view this on Digg? Paradox?
  • Lionhart, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4Just wondering..what is Moma? I've never heard of a wireless carrier named that.
    • nvisn, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3It can be "hacked" to say whatever you want it to.

    • digitul, on 07/07/2008, -2/+2because it involved digg and an idiotic meme all in one!
    • bjornski, on 07/07/2008, -1/+6Because it mentions Apple.
    • dood, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Welcome, new user! From http://digg.com/how

      "Become popular. Once a submission has earned a critical mass of Diggs, it becomes “popular” and jumps to the homepage in its category. If it becomes one of the most popular, it qualifies as a “Top 10”. If a submission doesn't receive enough Diggs within a certain time period, it eventually falls out of the “Upcoming” section."
  • AndyU08, on 07/07/2008, -4/+2YES! (To the post and the question of whether it is FP worthy) Come on guys, if this were internet explorer being craptacular no one would question it being front page.

  • FactorX, on 07/07/2008, -2/+1Good luck on the "Get a Life App". There's your actual "Fail"...
  • Shenanigans, on 07/07/2008, -2/+4This is NOT funny!
  • rnawky, on 07/07/2008, -2/+7Wait so you went do digg.com on your iphone, then went to the url bar and typed in javascript:alert('FAIL'); and this made the front page?

    What the hell seriously.
    • DelMonte, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Good catch! I knew there was something fishy... There's no way Apple would use a single capitalized word as an error message.

      It could've been done with photoshop, but I doubt anyone trying to get on the front page with this stupid joke would be smart enough to deal with the transparency of the alert box and the embossed text.
    • AquaOSX, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Nah. I got this a few days ago while browsing Digg. It's legit.
  • jo21, on 07/07/2008, -7/+2i found the problem.
    you are using safari,
    not only that!, and iphone.
