- strictnein, on 11/12/2007, -118/+1984No kidding. This sucks.
- davidlitts, on 10/14/2007, -56/+1131The is much less efficient than the old comment system. The old system was by no means perfect, but this is a step backwards in usability.
- flernk, on 10/14/2007, -21/+678In an effort to eliminate hijacking, they have made hijacked comments infinitely more annoying.
Case in point, you had to click at least one time to read this. Sucker. - Burritoking924, on 10/14/2007, -24/+662Or give us an option to toggle in on or off in the options page. Maybe all expanded by default, or view all initial comments.
- Luigi239, on 10/11/2007, -41/+416I personally prefer threaded comments. The concept is good; implementation is just mediocre. Commenting is one thing Reddit does much better.
- kefler, on 10/14/2007, -20/+322the #1 stupid thing is if the 1st comment is buried, then it shows up grey/collapsed even if the reply to it is +5000 diggs.
- flernk, on 10/14/2007, -14/+309And you had to click at least twice to read this one.
I hate the new system. - yoshitomi, on 10/14/2007, -17/+306Accidentally click more than once on the digg-up/digg-down buttons and it shoots you a pop-up message. WTF? I will not take being disturbed like this.
- qualish, on 10/14/2007, -65/+331I like it purely for the fact it keeps all those ***** comment abusers from "replying" to the first post with completely non-related information.
- flernk, on 10/11/2007, -5/+210Not to mention the fact that you have to wait each time one of these retarded comments loads. It annoys the crap out of me.
- blaze03, on 10/14/2007, -20/+207They've also eliminated any desire to read and post in the comments, which I suppose also indirectly curbs hijacking.
Whoever designed this piece of ***** needs to be fired. - YuriSakazaki, on 10/11/2007, -9/+171I hate having to click like 8 levels to read all the comments. This is Dugg, wish I could bury the new comment system.
- ryanschmidt, on 10/11/2007, -29/+180Pretty harsh words but yes, this commenting sucks.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -8/+158yea its way harder to find my comments

... ***** THIS! - loconet, on 10/14/2007, -11/+151Dear Digg,
Don't be ashame to imitate slashdot's threading. We won't tell. - inactive, on 10/14/2007, -5/+141***** man I though I was on a 56k there for a sec.
- rejoined, on 10/14/2007, -12/+148Digg is in ur commentz, dumb-jackin' ur threadz!
- geminigeek, on 10/11/2007, -14/+146Don't you just love all the clickings?
- tech42er, on 10/11/2007, -29/+153@everyone
You're right. The old comment system was better. IMO, the best way to show Digg what we mena (but it'll never happen) would be to never go beyond second level comments and just keep using the @Digger convention. That or someone can create a greasemonkey script that either a) makes all comments only 2 levels(good luck) or b) makes nice threading. - pizzatsf, on 10/11/2007, -5/+117Grr, so damn annoying. I had to click 3 times to find out this was pointless!
- tomboy501, on 10/11/2007, -11/+123I hate this.
- ani-pockdotnet, on 10/14/2007, -5/+109I logged in just to digg this story. Usually I'm a passive digg user...
- venir, on 10/11/2007, -7/+109I think the worst part is not being able to reply to a comment that has already been replied to. I can't reply to strictnein's comment directly.
- ShugNinx21, on 10/11/2007, -4/+104I'm not liking it. It makes reading the comments too much of a chore.
- jumanji69, on 10/11/2007, -23/+123I smell the next digg revolt, HD DVD style.
- xpose, on 10/11/2007, -9/+107This is an example of web developers going overboard with javascript and ajax. Its clearly bulky, ugly, and hard to follow. Reddit is far better with comments. Hell, even http://www.celebritypwn.com/pwn/kelly_hu/661/ is loads better with comments.
Its about readability, not hoping ajax will impress poeple - laserblazer, on 10/11/2007, -12/+110If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
- JordanM85, on 10/11/2007, -7/+101This feels like the IMDB boards, only much worse. Who on the Digg staff came up with this awful setup? Get rid of this nonsense, it takes forever to load. Plus I want to read all of the comments at once, not have to click 100 times to read the individual replies to each message.
- mV0G7, on 10/11/2007, -5/+97Reading comments is usually the best part. This is like making me do 100 pushups before picking up a Playboy, you know?
- radicaldementia, on 10/11/2007, -8/+82I totally agree. Digg team, maybe you should let us play around in some kind of preview sandbox section and get some feedback before applying changes like this to the whole site. Cause this took everyone by surprise and nobody likes it.
- devinjohnson2, on 10/14/2007, -12/+85We need another digg revolt!
- tyywebb, on 10/11/2007, -4/+74Will anyone ever see this?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+70I don't think the Digg programmers completely thought this one through.
- Ajajadude, on 10/11/2007, -5/+68Yeah, and the fact that there's no way to go change your options to go back to the old school system makes it suck even more. My computer (and internet) is perfectly capable of loading massive number of comments all at once.
- defectDS, on 10/11/2007, -9/+65Every time I reload the page, I get this now:
http://www.timshundo.com/dpud/uploads/Picture%202.png
And sometimes burried comments open and close on their own when clicked. And you can't reply to a nested comment when in expanded tree mode? And refreshing the page takes away your ability to edit your comment, even if it said you had 100+ seconds!? This is just way to screwed up. - Luigi239, on 10/11/2007, -3/+57Wait, there's a limit to the number of levels you can have?
Well that makes it even more worthless. - norbiu, on 10/11/2007, -2/+54This comment is hidden deeper than my porn.
- jonesy827, on 10/11/2007, -15/+64I say we boycott replies and use our own @username system...
- kitejumping, on 10/11/2007, -5/+54the ajax sucks, if they are going to use a threaded system they should just have it all load at once threaded like slashdot does.
- ravedave, on 10/11/2007, -1/+48It took 35 seconds for me to get to this level. I'm no rocket surgeon but I am pretty sure the *Whole thread* would have loaded in 35 seconds with the old system.
- yoshitomi, on 10/11/2007, -9/+56Have we just gone back in time?
This is so hard to read, those irritating lines are cluttering up the whole page. Or is Digg just trying to copy facebook with the shaded cell and one-line border on the top? The old system was so smooth and much easier on the eyes, this has to be some sort of joke. - ToadLeg, on 10/11/2007, -1/+45Fetching............................................................................
- flernk, on 10/11/2007, -2/+44This totally discourages intelligent dialog. Sure flame wars are hidden, but nobody else wants to click this much just to read and add to a conversation.
- IamZed, on 10/11/2007, -9/+51Even if it was fast, it would just be fast fugly.
- blaze03, on 10/11/2007, -8/+49How exactly does it "keep" them from doing that? They can still do that.
In fact, now there's an even BIGGER incentive to do that, considering they have comment paging now. Nobody's gonna expand five pages of comments to read your little insightful post on page 5. - omnirusa, on 10/11/2007, -3/+44Its bad when your new comments have a lower approval rating then bush.
- ithasfourtoes, on 10/11/2007, -1/+41***** this new system.
- insinuate, on 10/11/2007, -2/+42what a waste of my ***** time.
- crgnetworks, on 10/11/2007, -1/+40you have to load your comments for 2 minutes just to see me say this sucks haha
