Did you even read what I wrote? Let me explain. I want to be asked before I get an annoying little bar at the top of the page every time I click on an external link. I was pointing out the fact that you have to go into the options to turn it off permanently, rather than having it as an option you can turn on if you like. There, feel better?
This did remind me of the annoying bars about.com used to use. My biggest problem is the resized text. Since everything is a digg link I don't get the text resized. Also it seem to interfere with greasemonkey scripts that are actually useful.
Of course, there's the ethical question of iFraming websites to create a false impression of increased traffic/consumer time spent on digg, but I digress...But... there are ways to use this for SEO profit ;)
so I have to sign in to do it, great. I don't like to be logged in to click articles. f**k you for forcing that and defending it like it's a "feature".And any digg short URL will open the bar regardless of my settings. No use case for that? I reiterate, f**k you.
Ah... Thank goodness for Google (finding this thread). I've been seeing these weird horizontal lines on both Chrome and Safari. I figured it had something to do with webkit. It's happening on other pages as well, so it's not isolated to Digg.com.

The diggbar messes up Safari. Seriously, guys - chalk it up to a mistake and get rid of it.
