Digg Version 4 | Digg About

Riolio,

Ditto. Also I am getting error messages when I digg up or down. Also there is no "bury" button anymore, I think we are supposed to use the little "X" on the right to "hide" a story? Another issue is I have to log in multiple times. So far this sucks.

At last we completely agree on something.

I thought the ugly/illegible typeface was my biggest complaint until I saw all the spam on this post, I got a screen with no CSS, 404 screen, following numbers wrong, and anti-intuitive navigation. (I'm going to copy this text because I'm sure hitting "Post Comment" will give me an error...

Was Digg on the FailTrail?

The homepage has been on the FailTrail for me for a while, but individual stories seem to load up.

Don't like it. If been trialling it for a few month now and I seriously don't like it. Where's the upcoming section, where's the bit that shows how long I've been here in my profile? Why do I have to click through to see how many Diggs my comments get? What's with all the linked-in crap? Sorry Digg, this site starting to suck a year or so ago, this has made it suck more.

I'm very disappointed. 1st, it appears not to have been tested (not allowed to visit Help?) It's still quite buggy! 2nd; I don't want "followers", how do you remove them? 3rd; I want to be able to get right to the top news, I don't want to see My Page (no configuration option for that in 'Settings'. Where are the Dates and Times?

The fact that this comment is displayed on the blog is AWESOME!
Hate the Blog too. Horrible!
I have been a Digg fan since 2004 and hope they take the hint and convert back or take the feedback and fix it. (e.g. re-add upcomming) Else I look forward to watching it plummet in Alexa and Google Trends.

If it wasn't for my myfeed, I would have never know that digg v4 was launching today!

V4 is really buggy so far and the layout is going to take some getting used to. A few hopefully constructive suggestions:

- Allow users to opt-out of the social aspect. I don't mind having friends that I choose, but the followers thing is kinda creepy.
- When looking at my comments on my profile, it only shows about the first line of my comment. Put that back the way it was and also display the digg count (what can I say, I'm a narcissist).
- The light blue text in the comment box as you type isn't as readable as it should be. Doesn't look good either. Just make it black like it should be (or at the very least, a dark blue).
- Allow users to choose which news section is the default view when visiting digg. Right now, it's sending me to the My News tab whenever I visit the main site, and I'd rather it defaulted to Top News.
- The "This account was closed" message in deleted accounts seems unnecessary. There has to be a way to just delete the user account and all their comments on your end.

All those are issues to deal with in the coming weeks/months, but the first order of business is fixing how seriously buggy the site is. It's damn-near unusable today. I will say that when it works, it does definitely seem faster than before though.

I'm sure all of the design issues that you and others are pointing out were also mentioned during the beta testing. Obviously, the powers that be at Digg decided that they liked their design and weren't going to change it. This my friends is called arrogance. When a company starts to act as if they know better than the people who use their product, what the people want, it usually ends badly for the company.
