kurafire.net— CSS Based design always creates the unique problem of different kinds of display in different browsers and this needs to be tacked with a lot of patience and decent technical knowhow.

@Dycacian:That's the thing. Define "enough people". The 25 Digg defines it as is too few for a userbase this large. At over 22,000 people, it's not unreasonable to expect that at least 25 idiots could Digg a submission without reading it and it would hit the front page. From there idiots digg things all the time just because they're on the front page.More importantly, just because it's interesting to "enough people" doesn't mean it belongs on Digg's front page. Digg clearly defines what belongs on Digg, but too few people even listen to it.I'm sure you remember the olden days of Digg where people actually used it correctly. Don't you? Wasn't that so much better?
Digg needs sectional subscriptions, so I can subscribe to, say design, programming, science and a few others and get the best diggs from those sections on my digg home page. The people who don't like those kinds of diggs can subscribe to other sections. It would be good even if it were just a tolerance value, so I can set diggs from those sections to display on my home page when they have less diggs, bit diggs from other sections would still make my home page if they've got, maybe 150 diggs.
masterzora: In this case you're right, but in general there is a lot of complaints about "crap" that makes the front page. A lot of people only want tech stuff, for instance.spadin: Yes, but I'm running out of room on my bookmarks toolbar. It'd be nice to get one XML feed (or home page view) that has all the sections I'm interested in.

@slowspin...I'm confused by this one as well. How does this get to the homepage?

Let's see if my post below can get promoted to the homepage:<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/movies/Firefly_Spaceship,_Serenity,_Has_Been_Lego-ized">http://digg.com/movies/Firefly_Spaceship,_Serenity,_Has_Been_Lego-ized</a>Its digg-worthy, but never made it to the homepage for some reason./no shame

I only just noticed that the digg itself—not just the article it links to—is 40 days old. Bit of a puzzler; nevertheless, disregard my previous post.
