What is Digg?160 Comments
- GemStar38, on 11/21/2007, -2/+64What I want to know is why does Digg keep logging me out?
- drknownothing, on 11/21/2007, -1/+50I like your suggestions. My two big complaints are that Digg is so slow, it takes about 20 seconds to look a page, and that's if it loads; my other complaint is when someone sends a shout, it doesn't show the description, and I have to go to the digg page to digg it.
- VargVikernes, on 11/21/2007, -1/+4412. Make it so my browser won't freeze for 15 seconds when I'm opening a comment page with 100+ comments.
I literally have to hold ESC while loading a page, because it takes so long before my browser unfreezes.
Oh, also: 13. How about a search function that actually works?
edit: Almost forgot; 13. why did you remove descriptions on videos? - Scopitone, on 11/21/2007, -7/+40Ron Paul filter
- PecanHead, on 11/21/2007, -3/+32How about Digg Lite? A version of Digg that isn't laden with so much Javascript that it crashes machines older than 2 years?
- radink360, on 11/21/2007, -1/+28Make submissions anonymous. That way you can kill the whole "digg clubs" and the crap that always makes the front page will get filtered out.
- fyngyrz, on 11/21/2007, -0/+25My biggest complaint is the "your session has timed out, refresh the page" bug where you write a reply and the stupid site is unable to post it. I pretty much quit commenting after a few of those - I don't like having my time and energy wasted.
There are several bugs like this that prevent posting. Really bad design. I typically use firefox on the Mac, but I've seen this with Safari and Omniweb as well. - mess7777, on 11/21/2007, -0/+22I would like it to track how many diggs you get from comments. The comments are half the fun.
- RoamShell, on 11/21/2007, -2/+23Suggestion to Improve Digg:
Auto-redirect wordpress articles to a digg mirror. - tropican8, on 11/21/2007, -0/+20A way around that is to just make the stories anonymous in the upcoming section, then have the names displayed once they frontpage. That would actually stroke our ego more since no one would ever know about the crappy stories we all sometimes misguidedly submit.
- SpectralSounds, on 11/21/2007, -0/+18Session timeouts are the most annoying problem for me. Having to log out, log in, log out, log in, log out all the time really pisses me off. The funny part is, I have emailed them about this bug multiple times and they either dont respond, or tell me to do stupid ***** that obviously isnt the cause of the problem.
Fix it please. - mal1964, on 11/21/2007, -2/+18Top Ten things digg will do with that list.

10 ChrisF79 Banned! - jetboyterp, on 11/21/2007, -0/+16The most important "improvement" wasn't listed...
Digg--Please improve the comment system! At times there's a "reply" link at the end of a post, but it won't let me reply. And I'm always getting logged out. And the dreaded "session expired" message, even when I'm logged in.
And if you don't like shouts from a particular friend, just delete them. Or if you really want to keep them as a friend, deal with their shouts. A case of "you can't have your cake and eat it too"...
OK, I'm done ranting... - spyrochaete, on 11/21/2007, -0/+15My 2 cents:
1. Fix the "Session expired" bug. It's random and stupid. Why can I reply to comments 7 layers deep in one comment thread but can't reply 3 layers deep to the one right under it?
2. Change the default user settings so that I don't receive unwanted emails and I don't share so much information with random people. I want Digg to be a news site, not Facebook. I hate Facebook. - KewlerKid3, on 11/21/2007, -2/+15Good suggestions, but I'm not sure creating a banned site list would be a good idea. Not for Digg at least.
Blacklists have a really negative effect. - AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -3/+16My #1 thing I'd like to see to improve Digg:
Allow people to specify the reason why they added you to their friends list. - SPThom, on 11/21/2007, -1/+14My suggestions:
1) Don't blame Wordpress for an SQL crash. Not that Wordpress is terribly stable, but this looks to be the result of cheap shared hosting or something.
2) When you post snarky comments that aren't related to another post, don't hit "Reply"... scroll down to the bottom like a good boy. - inactive, on 11/21/2007, -0/+12Remove animated ads.
- OssianHanning, on 11/21/2007, -2/+13How about... like... a picture section? :D
- inactive, on 11/21/2007, -0/+10Digg is slow, if you open up 3 or 4 digg articles , and expand the comments, prepare for firefox freeze/crash
- Falldog, on 11/21/2007, -0/+9How about fixing the URL abbreviations?
- dmCraz, on 11/21/2007, -0/+9I just wish there was a way to go directly to a site on the "Top 10", not the comment page
- mccarron, on 11/21/2007, -0/+8Classic that the site goes down with a WordPress error.
So I didn't read the list, but I think what Digg really needs is a major change that requires the user community to help it work right.
I'd like to see an ability to mark stories as duplicate and have them merge back into the first submission automatically. But still listing the other submissions and pages that also covered the story under a tab at the top of the story comment view.
Maybe even allow users to digg up/down the more accurately worded submissions as the "lead" submission of a group of stories. It would really kill the stories popping up days/months/years after they initially happened. - RoamShell, on 11/21/2007, -0/+8Agreed. I don't like getting these e-mails about how someone's my fan without any reasoning behind it. It feels arbitrary and pointless.
- hansonc, on 11/21/2007, -2/+10I'd like digg to auto delete all the meta articles.
- hawridger, on 11/21/2007, -1/+9Ditto. These are my two biggest issues as well.
- sfrench, on 11/21/2007, -0/+8http://digg.com/settings/viewing
"External Page Links" -> Always open in new window - spudnic, on 11/21/2007, -0/+8Turn blocking back to how it was.
Fix comments bugs etc in general. - misxn, on 11/21/2007, -2/+914. Stop logging me out
15. Fix the iPhone interface to submit comments. - KevenM, on 11/21/2007, -0/+710. Answer emails that are sent to feedback@digg.com
(heck, even I'd do if for them if they want to hire me) - RoamShell, on 11/21/2007, -0/+7Blacklisting anything on a site where people vote more with emotion than reason is a horrible idea. Dugg for truth.
- ggrav, on 11/21/2007, -1/+8Amen. And want to digg stories right from my Shout box. And I want to delete fans who I don't want as friends. And I want a new car and I want a million dollars and while we're at it . . .
- ChrisF79, on 11/21/2007, -2/+9@KewlerKid3:
I don't know that I understand your comment. Is it a bad idea to have Digg set up a blacklist or individual users creating a blacklist. I think it would be terrible if Digg censored us but I don't think it would be a bad thing to have users decide what they don't want to see. - Mockylock, on 11/21/2007, -0/+7How about showing a red link when a site ***** itself because of too much traffic. Like this one, for example.
- ndib, on 11/21/2007, -0/+6Yeah, this is a good post. I agree with all of these. Especially it being slow or not loading a page all the way, man that is painful sometimes even with highspeed.
- sicc, on 11/21/2007, -0/+6I don't really care about the shout thing, but I will say I have quit using digg because of the load times. This is the first time I have been to digg all week. I usually stop by like once a week. But I used to spend hours on here a day, but the loading times are just unbearable. I moved to reddit and I desperately want to come back to digg but not unless these loading times fix. :(
- mghwom1, on 11/21/2007, -0/+6Love the suggestions.
The "Shout" feature could use some work. I'd like to have tiers of "Shouts"....1 level for my favorite Diggers, and another for those I don't really care about. - GiggleStick, on 11/21/2007, -0/+6That only happens to me when I go passed the 5th level of nested comments. In reality digg only supports 5 levels, and it gives an incorrect error which is very misleading. If they can't figure out how to support more levels, then they need to at least fix the error message so it says "Sorry, you can post any more nested than it is". Or even better, don't put a freaking reply link on a comment, if it's unpossible to reply to that comment because of this limitation! That would be the absolute easies. Maybe I'll make a greasemonkey script to do this after the page load.
Another issue is that when you click on reply, it would be nice if focus would jump to the text box that appears. As it is now, you have to click the reply link, then click the text box, then start typing. - br0ck, on 11/21/2007, -1/+7Try using digg.com instead of www.digg.com. Fix any bookmarks too. I had that problem forever and that fixed it.
- sicc, on 11/21/2007, -1/+7Are you on a super computer? I have:
DSL
AMD X2
4GB DDR2 RAM
Firefox, Opera, and IE
No matter how you work it, you're looking at 10-20second loading times for stories in my experience. Consider yourself lucky. - mess7777, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5I find the comments one of the best parts. I would like it to track your overall "diggs" from comments that you make. Encourages more funny and/or witty comments.
- inactive, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5Try this: http://www.neaveru.com/digg
- Mockylock, on 11/21/2007, -0/+5I'd like to be able to see responses to my comments when I click on "see comment", rather than being left at the first page if I was dugg down.
- spacebar14, on 11/21/2007, -0/+510) Wordpress can't take the digg effect.
- 68024, on 11/21/2007, -0/+4Here's a suggestion: make it so that I can post comments again. For some reason since yesterday's upgrade I can only submit comments on my pc. I have a macbook here too (on the same home network) and my pc at work both will not let me submit comments anymore to digg. Digging and burying works fine though. Why?
- jetboyterp, on 11/21/2007, -2/+6lol...Now THAT would be an improvement!
- HyperDav, on 11/21/2007, -1/+5How about 9 suggestions to improve the performance of Wordpress?
- schroeder, on 11/21/2007, -0/+4It's especially annoying when people add seemingly random blocks of people at a time. I personally would like to know if it was because they agree with me on a specific post. It would be cool to also see who dugg your comment so you could friend like-minded people.
