- Gregd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27To a certain extent, I agree. What I'd love to see digg do, is put more of what I see on my screen at once, into my control. I'd love to be able to only show the titles of submissions in the upcoming stories section as well as being able to see 100 or so at a time (similar to reddit's format). It's ridiculous right now to go through the upcoming stories because once you've looked at the first page and gone through them, clicking on the second page, ends up putting the stories you've just seen, onto the second page. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I'd also love to see the ability to change the font size on the fly. - ICSU, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20The archive should let you sort the stories by the number of diggs.

neat little flashback :) - billtaylor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10What I like is that even back in Dec of 2004 they were getting more diggs per story than Netscape!!!!
- misterpony, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I agree with seeing 100 at a time by title only, Greg. Too many clicks are needed to get to the stories. Along those lines, I'd like to see the stories I bury get hidden, not just grayed out, that would leave more stories that I actually want to see.
Also, I still have a problem with my Friends' pages malfunctioning, I reported it to feedback@digg and had some email discussions with them about it, but about 50% of the time I go to my Friends History, it takes forever to load and then gives me an error and "Empty" message. Annoying as hell. - weprin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7"I'd also love to see the ability to change the font size on the fly."
Hold CTRL on your keyboard and use the scroll wheel on you mouse to increase or decrease the font size. - foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6This also stops you from going back 310 pages on Digg.....
- misterpony, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10This is cool, but it seems like overkill. There's already too many ways and too many stories to sort through.

Doesn't "cloud view" do that for you? - G-RaZoR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Well I would imagine the archive feature is on different servers.... But anyway, that loadtime is a little long. It might be better to have all of the days in a month as "containers" that are by default, closed on loading. Then you can press a button to open which day you want or whatever. I don't know.....
- DD32, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5A Simple bit of Caching would prevent any speed issues.. Its not like those previous month pages are going to change dynamically... just save them as static content, and delete them when they expire after say, 24hours.. that way they dont use up the server resources.
The only thing digg needs to work on IMO, is the slow loading, Loading the digg homepage at 9KB/s is just too slow(And thats not even 1/5th of my bandwidth, so why it loads that slow i do not know). - daldredge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I guess doing this was a higher priority than fixing the slower than a snail performance of digg.com.
What genius made that decision? - vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Granted, it can be a little hard to read having multiple titles per line, center justified, color and size coded . . . on second thoughts, i agree with you.
- TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4What, no RSS feed?
- andrethegiant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is great! I will never miss a digg story again!
- Dested, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Cool feature. Any attempt to datamine is A-Okay in my book.

What would happen if you could, would digg collapse the space-time continuum because of an infinite recursive loop or something like that?
(BTW I'm joking, I understand why they won't allow that.) - thewhitefedora, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2We're digging a digg feature. That's kinda funny, like searching for GMail[Google Mail] on google.
- Andy92, on 01/15/2009, -1/+1This means it will be harder to get on the digg frontpage, but more challanging!
- xtr3m, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I noticed the same.
- heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -12/+10Submittal won't let you link directly to digg...ass clown.
Your comment marked as SPAM because there was no need to speak your ***** mind. - RyeBrye, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Digg goes down just about every morning for a few minutes. They go down more than a White House intern in the Clinton administration, and usually for just about as long (a minute or two)
- alienvenom, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Wow, this definitely wont last. Anyone else notice http://www.digg.com/archive/200610 takes like 5+ seconds to load? I'm sorry but this just opens the door for denial of service. I have a feeling that if everyone went to http://www.digg.com/archive/200610 at the same time, the entire website would not function.
- Easty, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3Oh, you explained it up there.
My mistake. Sorry. - Easty, on 10/12/2007, -16/+5...So you link from digg, to your blog, then back to digg?
Blogspam is bad, m'kay? - chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -35/+4marked as SPAM because there was no need to link to your ***** blog.
- latova, on 10/12/2007, -38/+3You could of used tinyurl to redirect users back to that page.
