  • ihavebeenseen, on 05/15/2008, -49/+916The white background on all of the comments is a bit harsh. Yea need a little something to break it up.

  • consoneo, on 05/15/2008, -9/+169I want more colors, or borders, or something! It's not easily separable to the eye. Mine anyway :/
  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -9/+168The option to not have white screen blaring in your face would be nice. customize your own colors maybe.
  • rpi22, on 05/15/2008, -5/+156Unfortunately, it still ***** up the links i posted when i go back to edit my comments!
  • SpectralSounds, on 05/15/2008, -1/+146Its really white.... That's for sure.

    woops, i broke digg
  • rockinrimmer, on 05/15/2008, -1/+112Does for me, crashes as soon as it loads a page with comments on. Otherwise the new comment system looks good, but this needs to be fixed quickly
  • jaymulder, on 05/15/2008, -12/+116Version 9.27
    Build 8841
    Platform Win32
    System Windows XP

    Crashes. Looks brilliant in Firefox though.
  • NathanielJ, on 05/15/2008, -5/+106I like most of the new features, but there are a few bugs that REALLY need to be fixed ASAP:
    1) Obviously, newlines and quotes are not working as intended for some users. I imagine that when people go back to edit their comment, the newline and special characters for quotes get thrown into the comment.
    2) Scrolling is broken in Firefox (and possibly other browsers) when you go to view a specific comment. For example:
    http://digg.com/arts_culture/10_Items_You_Think_Ma ...

    When I go there and wait until it fully loads (it may take a few seconds after it looks like it's done loading), I can't scroll down (well, I can for a split second, but then Digg automatically forces it back up to the top repeatedly).
  • dburka, on 05/15/2008, -1/+100Thanks for the bug report. We'll look into it. The detail of info is especially helpful.
  • SpectralSounds, on 05/15/2008, -1/+99I'm hiding in here.
  • ligyron, on 05/15/2008, -26/+119I really like this
  • t0x2c, on 05/15/2008, -26/+11410 times slower than the old code!
  • tdskate, on 05/15/2008, -2/+81pretty far ...
  • AceTracer, on 05/15/2008, -3/+78Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the time I save from the faster comment system.
  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -14/+86i want to be the first person to get massivley buried on the new system!!

  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -11/+81A+++++++++ ADMINS AND WEBMASTER!!.
    WILL COME BACK TO THIS SITE SOON!!!.
    TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!.
  • AustinGoodchild, on 05/15/2008, -14/+82Now I'm going to have to check all my comments for the bury number.
    [sarcasm] Thanks kevin. [/sarcasm]
  • Ramble, on 05/15/2008, -21/+89+1 insta-crash.

    Did they not even bother testing this?
  • slonkak, on 05/15/2008, -20/+85Geez. This is still ridiculously AJAX heavy. Why can't you just load the comments without AJAX?
  • KMye, on 05/15/2008, -1/+66Maybe a super-faint gradient on each comment space? Or faint color based on thread level?
  • pault107, on 05/15/2008, -26/+90Damn, being able to stretch the page is bad. That's amateur stuff.

    Fix this quick please Digg:

    stretchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
  • BrokenVisage, on 05/15/2008, -3/+64Crashes for me, sucks.
  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -3/+64What's with the five words per line text wrapping? I have a lot of blank space left on my monitor, Digg is free to use it, you know.
  • dburka, on 05/15/2008, -4/+65This was one of the most-requested features for the new comments. A lot of people were either accidently selecting the wrong vote or wanting to change their vote after reflection. We're really trying to react to peoples' wishes with that one and I think it's very useful as well.
  • skeletorcares, on 05/15/2008, -14/+74I'll stop using digg if i can't use my opera (written in bland firefox)
  • muslax27, on 05/15/2008, -0/+59Congrats on being the very first person buried using the new comment system!!!
  • skeletorcares, on 05/15/2008, -4/+58except for they crash Opera.
  • MavRevMatt, on 05/15/2008, -0/+54Maybe a light blue? Doesn't look like it's used in this comment system...
  • Gijsterbeek, on 05/15/2008, -5/+58Nice, but still, I wished it would improve my comments instead of how they look.
  • markp93, on 05/15/2008, -16/+68it's so good... it's like Web 5.0!
