- rhfb, on 10/12/2007, -7/+73Thank you SOOOOOO much for this.
- MikeCampo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+54Mirror: http://www.duggmirror.com/design/Digg_V3_with_Right_Hand_Menu/
- KyleRayner, on 10/12/2007, -10/+55"You still can't reply to replies"
Yeah, I never have understood why not. It wouldnt be a clustered as some folks think, if they did it right. Doing it like a newer-style message board would be nice, especially since the comments are most of the fun of Digg. Not replying to a specific comment gets very confusing sometimes.
Oh well, maybe thats one for Digg V4 :-) - rkettner, on 10/12/2007, -13/+57I like that replies can't get too threaded... as I feel it would get messy very fast. If it's a reply to a reply... it should fit under the first category for the most part anyway.
One of the reasons I never got into slashdot was due to the mess of threads and difficulty of navigating or just scanning through them quickly. Just my 2cents. - g8trGTO, on 10/12/2007, -9/+41Is it me or does Digg seem to be too cluttered with ads now?
- one2gamble, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22I shouldnt have to hack it, it should have already been on the right
- therealfoz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21looks good.. and the removal of the banner space is a welcome improvement too.
- cainrok, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21@-moz-document domain(digg.com), domain(www.digg.com) {
a { text-decoration: underline !important; font-weight: normal !important; }
#top_ad, .banner_ad {display: none !important;}
h3 a { border: none !important; background: none !important; }
#contents, #sidebar { float: left !important; border: none !important; background: none !important;}
#container {background: none !important; }
#sidebar {padding: 20px 0 1em 35px !important;background-position: 0 0; }
#footer {background: none !important;}
}
This one is a bit better no bold lettering and the headlines are underlined like before. - icaruseffect, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19I like the navigation better on the right too. Would it be difficult for them to make this an option? I'm sure a lot of people like it the other way.
- Kamino, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19I wish there was a Digg classic option. I don't like the new design at all and it will take ages for me to get used to it. (Just like w/ the new XP start menu)
- MikeCampo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17In case you don't feel like scrolling through the comments and hunting down different code, here is what I'm using. It widens the comments, removes banners, moves sidebar to the right, and closes gaps -
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain(digg.com) {
/* fix comments */
#comments_ad, #item_ad, #top_ad, .comments_ad_image, .top_ad_image {
display: none !important;
}
#enclosure1, .comment-tray, ol {
width: 710px !important;
}
/* make comments wider */
.comment {
width: 710px !important;
}
.c-body-inside {
padding-right: 5px !important;
}
/* moves sidebar */
#contents,
#sidebar {
float: left !important;
border: none !important;
background: none !important;
}
#container {
background: none !important;
}
#sidebar {
padding: 20px 0 1em 35px !important;
background-position: 0 0;
}
#footer {
background: none !important;
}
} - cphuntington97, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21I'll add one more comment-related request: comment headlines.
Try scrolling through a page of slashdot some time - it's easy and fast because you have a headline for a quick scan of what each comment is about. Now try digg - on a full page you are overwhelmed with comments, but you really need to read them to figure out basic topical info.
I think this is part of the reason why slashdot tends to get such long, well written, insightful comments and digg seems to get these one sentence spurts. - ReubADoob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Now if only I could view 100 upcoming stories at once other than 15 would be nice too.
- strictnein, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16As one of my friends would say: "Left side nav? What is this, 1998?"
- ubergmr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14ok, i spent awhile palying around with this and other mods, copying pasteing, and deleteing, and here is what i came up with. this moves the sidebar, deletes ads, and makes the comments wider. NOTE i did not write this, i stole it form a this and other mods found on userstyles.org
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain(digg.com) {
/* remove ads */
#top_ad,
#item_ad,
#comments_ad {
display: none !important;
}
/* make comments wider */
.comment {
width: 710px !important;
}
.c-body-inside {
padding-right: 5px !important;
}
/* moves sidebar */
#contents,
#sidebar {
float: left !important;
border: none !important;
background: none !important;
}
#container {
background: none !important;
}
#sidebar {
padding: 20px 0 1em 35px !important;
background-position: 0 0;
}
#footer {
background: none !important;
}
} - JakeMcMahon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Failing that:
@-moz-document domain(digg.com), domain(www.digg.com) {
a { text-decoration: none !important; font-weight: bold !important; }
#top_ad, .banner_ad {display: none !important;}
h3 a { border: none !important; background: none !important; }
#contents, #sidebar { float: left !important; border: none !important; background: none !important;}
#container {background: none !important; }
#sidebar {padding: 20px 0 1em 35px !important;background-position: 0 0; }
#footer {background: none !important;}
}
stick that in your userContent.css - ilitirit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15I'm also not a big fan of threaded replies, but *at least* implement some sort of decent quoting mechanism. even vBuilletin's [quote] tags are better than nothing.
- keybsnbits, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Makes the new layout look a lot better. I didn't realize that the left sidebar was what was giving me that claustrophobic feeling I get from some sites.
- cmiller1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12I second the motion for (optional) subject lines for comments, I hate having to unhide a comment just to realize why everyone else dugg it down
- fanzi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11damn that was quick
- Ahnteis, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Your browser can't resize text? Time to get a new browser!
- sremick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I'd like to select "stories that aren't dupes and without the word AMAZING" as default.
- deut, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Nice try Kevin with Digg 3.0 but the new column layout simply sucks.
Thanks for this, it makes the site bearable again. - Hellmark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I'd be all for a classic dig section. Some people may like V3, but atleast give us some options for those who don't. I'd also like the be able to set the default catergory view. Tech is cool, but I also like gaming and such, so I want to have the default view be "View All". Also, the time limit for editing posts needs to be fixed still. only gives 60 seconds to edit. Better than none what so ever though.
- shwilmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8someone should make a greasemonkey script for this.
- mjjack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9For Opera Users - save the stylesheet on your computer. Remove the mozilla bits at the beginning and end so you just have this:
a { text-decoration: none !important; font-weight: bold !important; }
#top_ad, .banner_ad {display: none !important;}
h3 a { border: none !important; background: none !important; }
#contents, #sidebar { float: left !important; border: none !important; background: none !important;}
#container {background: none !important; }
#sidebar {padding: 20px 0 1em 35px !important;background-position: 0 0; }
#footer {background: none !important;}
Right click and choose "Edit Site Preferences". From the display tab, enter the CSS file you just saved in the "MY Style Sheet" field. Now, from the magnifying glass pop-down, use the mode drop-down to select "Manage Modes", makre sure site stylesheet and user stylesheet are both selected under "User Mode". Now switch to User mode from Author Mode.
Viola! Just one of the many things you can do in Opera without a plugin of any kind :D - Gizza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8What i would really like is to make the site take advantage of higher resolutions, half my screen is wasted just being in 1280x1024, it should be more scalable out to the sides.
- Mongoose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8In case anyone like unbolded links without the underlining like me:
@-moz-document domain(digg.com), domain(www.digg.com) {
a { text-decoration: none !important; font-weight: normal !important; }
#top_ad, .banner_ad {display: none !important;}
h3 a { border: none !important; background: none !important; }
#contents, #sidebar { float: left !important; border: none !important; background: none !important;}
#container {background: none !important; }
#sidebar {padding: 20px 0 1em 35px !important;background-position: 0 0; }
#footer {background: none !important;}
} - HaroldHupmobile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I'd like to be able to select cloud view as default.
- JakeMcMahon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Wordpress + Digg = Nein
- brandizzle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The problem with the cloud view is that many titles are sensationalized to get more votes. Most of the time (though not all the time) the descriptions provide a little bit better information about the story.
- mzkw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Just save the file inside your UserJS folder. No extensions or any other crap needed.
- ACalcutt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I agree, digg deserves the advertising money
- roadrunner, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9just "sidebar {float: right}" took care of moving it to the right..
dont know why you are messing with "a" and "h3 a" items..
am i missing something???/ - iluvatar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7cloud view?
- cphuntington97, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Gizza has an excellent point - why are web designers so hell bent on locking us into such narrow extremes? When I maximize a window, the ENTIRE SPACE should be used for content.
Want to see a rediculous use of space? Try maximizing your gaim buddy list. It uses about 1/5 of your screen real estate, and still makes you scroll. Horrible. - kipin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I am running 1600x1200, and the redesign looks horrible.
Hopefully some this design gets tweaked and relaunched or this will go down in web history as one of the worst redesigns ever. - kiddailey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Myself, and other people who respect the fact that it costs money to host a website.
- dawgma, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Just to recap the new Stylish codes...
Float Main Menu to the right, and remove top ads:
@-moz-document domain(digg.com), domain(www.digg.com) {
a { font-weight: normal !important; }
#top_ad, .banner_ad {display: none !important;}
h3 a { border: none !important; background: none !important; }
#contents, #sidebar { float: left !important; border: none !important; background: none !important;}
#container {background: none !important; }
#sidebar {padding: 20px 0 1em 35px !important;background-position: 0 0; }
#footer {background: none !important;}
}
Remove ads from comments, and resize column:
@-moz-document domain("digg.com") {
div[id="comments_ad"],div[id="item_ad"],div[id="top_ad"] {
display: none !important;
}
div[id="enclosure1"], div[class="comment-tray"], ol {
width: 710px !important;
}
}
Now if someone could just tweak the code so the story titles have underlines, but the number of Diggs do not, then that would be perfect I think. Right now, the front page code removes underlines from the story titles because otherwise it ends up underlining both the story, and the number of Diggs... - halfway, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Really nice mod for the digg site. I don't currently use firefox, but I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from this little change. Nice work.
- liquidice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I accept advertising on websites, just as long as there aren't tons of pop ups, firefox blocks most of them anyway. Sometimes I even enjoy the little flash games that are advertisements, because in firefox you can play them, but the pop ups don't show up.
- MiamiGuy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Is there any way to do this in Opera?
- Celeron, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8OMFG! I'm going to love this. This left handed menu is crap.
- guigouz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4digg v3 is MUCH slower :(
- quadvods, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Maybe digg will get the hint and move it back..
- sfty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4+digg hoping that the menu will return to its place on the right per default..
- codethis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4this fixes the comments page (no space between nav and content)
.comments_ad_image{ display:none;}
.comment{width:710px;} - noneloud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Fred Clown, That would be more reason to have it on the right. You read the new articles first, and then move to the other parts of the site. That way you don't have to force your mind to skip that part when you just want to read the new articles.
- smellinator, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Regarding Replies to Replies:
I agree that it's somewhat of a benefit to limit nesting as they have. My suggestion, and I sent it to the Digg team, was to put the reply button on every message (even replies), and then if someone tries to reply to a reply, simply insert the beginning text into the comment box (which could be replaced by the commenter):
"@ Reply-to-person:"
That way, we'd all know you you were commenting toward, and we could retain the limited nesting. That's the convention most people follow anyway. - kdehead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4i can imagine the ironic t-shirts already:
"Right wing Digger"
he he! -
