Some Digg Functionality Is Broken
searchenginepeople.com — "Its true … some of Digg’s functionality appears broken at the moment. Fortunately, its not critical functionality, so we will survive. It is a pain however."
- 534 diggs
- digg it
- gbarberi, on 11/28/2007, -1/+13I've noticed that Digg's stats take awhile to update; that's why I have been relying on RSS feeds instead.
- Pssdoff, on 11/28/2007, -2/+9What about link mangling? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=a+url+that+is ...

- mod84, on 11/28/2007, -3/+12i bury any story with a domain like searchenginepeople.com
gotta love expert seo people (read: *****)- iamaelephant, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1Good idea, bury a story without reading it. You're a ***** genius and a credit to the Digg community.
Idiot.

- joestump, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3All of the issues above stem from, in one way or another, caching. We use a lot of caching at Digg and, as a result, counts, stats, etc. can appear to be delayed in updating, etc. For instance, if you Digg a story it can take up to 10 minutes to show up in your friends' network feeds on their profiles. So much activity happens on Digg that if we were to expire caches as frequently as actions take place we'd see no gains from caching.

- 31213121, on 11/28/2007, -0/+6so we all forgot the comment system?
Never noticed that if you type an ! or ? or . behind an URL, it'll make the URL unusable?
read about it here: http://coolblog.profit42.com/2007/06/25/the-most-i ... (posted on June 25th and still not fixed...)- Charlotte_Web, on 11/28/2007, -0/+8I've also gone to edit a comment, and found that the form buttons were grayed out; that's happened several times.
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2Yup. I've only has this happen once so far, really, but it's obviously a problem. Thankfully, I have the Web Developer add-on installed for Firefox, so I was able to forcefully enable them.

- physicx, on 11/28/2007, -1/+14Great points, I have noticed the same.
- puto, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1I cannot view more than 2 pages of my friend's diggs.
That sucks - ZeRux, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2And also, what's up with "y.digg.com" preventing pages from loading completely? Do we actually need that??
- puto, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1I cannot view more than 2 pages of my friend's diggs.
- dailymooolah, on 11/28/2007, -5/+0I hate it when Diggs broken
- Flashman, on 11/28/2007, -0/+4I hate it when apostrophe keys are broken.
- tyywebb, on 11/28/2007, -2/+51I also need to use firefox if I want to comment. Safari 3 the window greys out and freezes. : (
- totorototoro, on 11/28/2007, -0/+30Yes, both in Safari 3 beta for Windows, and Safari 3 for Leopard. wtf?
- tman84, on 11/28/2007, -0/+14same here, firefox is the only way i can comment, however digg randomly crashes when i use firefox so its a double edged sword
- ThinkBox, on 11/28/2007, -0/+21Good, I'm glad its not just me! It doesn't crash when I comment, just goes grey and stays there and never posts it.
- richard2, on 11/28/2007, -0/+28'Same here.
Other bugs which I've found:
• Attempting to submit a comment sometimes fails with the message “Your session has expired, please refresh the page before commenting.” However, reloading the page or even logging out and back in doesn't solve the problem.
• Using Unicode characters in a comment makes the comment hard double-spaced.
• Long URLs are truncated when you edit a comment.- ostracize, on 11/28/2007, -0/+8"• Attempting to submit a comment sometimes fails with the message “Your session has expired, please refresh the page before commenting.” However, reloading the page or even logging out and back in doesn't solve the problem."
I believe this is due to a limit of how deep a thread can go. If you reply to the grandparent but use the old-fashioned @username form it should work
"• Using Unicode characters in a comment makes the comment hard double-spaced."
Doesn't it do that to all comments?
I have also noticed problems like digging or burying a comment causes the comment to just flash constantly and never really change until I refresh. This is annoying when you bury a comment because the comment collapses and grows until you refresh the page.- beastlykings, on 11/28/2007, -1/+2You noticed that if you make an arrow, the arrow and anything below it doesn't show uP
Watch.
http://i16.tinypic.com/823yd69.png
I'll right an arrow in the smae line as this one, right, NOW- saifatlast, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3One word: cropping
- ostracize, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1That's related to html tags. Trying putting an open angular bracket cancels out everything up to the closing bracket
The above text has disappeared into oblivion. Even if I try to edit the comment it's gone - Cl1mh4224rd, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2@ostracize: Digg apparently hasn't heard of htmlspecialchars()...
- beastlykings, on 11/28/2007, -1/+2You noticed that if you make an arrow, the arrow and anything below it doesn't show uP
- antdude, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1I noticed old Digg stories with comments have NO comments. Has anyone else notice this?
- svivian, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2@antdude: Yeah I noticed this too. It says something like "Comments (300)" but there are just a handful of comments on the page. Something surely is screwed up.
- ostracize, on 11/28/2007, -0/+8"• Attempting to submit a comment sometimes fails with the message “Your session has expired, please refresh the page before commenting.” However, reloading the page or even logging out and back in doesn't solve the problem."
- SiNN4R, on 11/28/2007, -0/+19I get the same problem with Opera. I thought I was being muted for being an ass I didn't think it was my browser.
- moonguidex, on 11/28/2007, -0/+10Yessss, please fix it, I miss Safari...
- theradical, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1I get the Safari 3 freeze up as well, but do you think it is a Digg problem, or a Safari 3 problem?
I mean, to be honest, Safari 3 freezes and crashes a LOT, not just with Digg. More than any browser I've ever used. - svivian, on 11/28/2007, -0/+4Same in Opera. I certainly hope they're working on that first rather than the stat-updating thing.
- meshman, on 11/28/2007, -0/+26"Hopefully Digg will have this problem corrected in no time, and the Digg world will return to normal."
If they can't solve the session problem what chance in hell do they have of solving this one?
(Guess what I had to do AGAIN to make this comment?)- crawf061, on 11/28/2007, -2/+8Does it involve lotion?
- velvetphog, on 11/28/2007, -0/+28I can't post using Opera or IE7. Firefox still works.
Digg is losing it's AJAXy goodness.- Governator88, on 11/28/2007, -0/+14I have the same issues; problems hitting the back button & I can't reply with Opera. It's frustrating but I still love digg.
- velvetphog, on 11/28/2007, -0/+5I fear that we might have to go back to Web 1.0.
- velvetphog, on 11/28/2007, -0/+5I fear that we might have to go back to Web 1.0.
- barktwiggs, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3Opera 9.2, 9.5 and IE 6 and IE 7 have been unable to post comments for the greater part of a week. Digg is really dropping the ball here on cross site compatibility.
Please, everyone let Digg know what is up: http://digg.com/bugreport - rhabd0mancer, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1Opera works now.
- Governator88, on 11/28/2007, -0/+14I have the same issues; problems hitting the back button & I can't reply with Opera. It's frustrating but I still love digg.
- tprzepiorka, on 11/28/2007, -0/+6I have also noticed that when I go to my "Friend's Activity" and it says a comment has been made and I click it. However instead of taking me to my Friend's comment it instead takes me to a completely random comment on that submission.
- op12, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2They also don't truncate URL's correctly, so on that page or even on your own comments page, the "see comment" link can get messed up because the link tag before it doesn't get closed.
- blackmage439, on 11/28/2007, -1/+15The comment system could use a[nother] revamping. There's no way to delete a comment. You can delete comments in forums, why not Digg comments? Plus, it would be great if when sorting comments by number of diggs, it only sorts by major comments, not by nested ones. It's confusing as hell to read a nested comment out of context.
Also, why do stories disappear from the front page, but not from the site? Is that due to site admins or from being buried too many times as Spam, etc.? On that note, it would be great to see the numbers of people who buried a story, and what type of burial it is. For example, if a story has a high Inaccurate burial rating, you can logically assume there's something fishy about the article.- EnderMB, on 11/28/2007, -1/+6You most likely cannot delete comments because it'll allow users to abuse their rights, put up horrible comments, and delete them as if nothing has happened. Besides, most forums won't let you delete posts anyway, or will store them elsewhere so people can see what you had written.
- NikoKun, on 11/28/2007, -0/+5I can't shout anymore... -_- I haven't been able to for like a couple of weeks now...
- sovereign3, on 11/28/2007, -3/+10Good. The only 'shouts' i get are spam anyway.
- kindrobot, on 11/28/2007, -1/+4This assumption sucks. ***** you. So far, after being here for years, I have not been able to "share" shout ONCE. Either prevent spamming by limiting shouts per day or make it work. Or if they refuse to make it functional, lose it entirely.
- sovereign3, on 11/28/2007, -3/+10Good. The only 'shouts' i get are spam anyway.
- Roger, on 11/28/2007, -0/+11I'm sure they'll fix it... in a few months or so.
- chris9902, on 11/28/2007, -0/+7anyone else notice you can only make 1 edit to a comment even within the time?
- FKnight, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3Yes. If you try and edit a comment twice WITHIN the period of time given, the "Check Spelling" and "Submit Comment" buttons are grayed out.
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3If you're using Firefox and have the Web Developer extension installed, use "Forms > Enable Form Fields" to re-enable those buttons.
- ZeRux, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2I thought that's a bug, not a feature.
But as already mentioned by person above me, it can be overriden with a web developer hack.
- FKnight, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3Yes. If you try and edit a comment twice WITHIN the period of time given, the "Check Spelling" and "Submit Comment" buttons are grayed out.
- dupswapdrop, on 11/28/2007, -0/+6most of my Friend's are broken also, but I just stuff em in the closet with the rest of the junk.
- Neuralphreak, on 11/28/2007, -9/+5I don't like the amount of time it takes for the "edit" function to close... why the hell do I need 120 seconds to reflect on my comment? If I didn't get it right the first time... I'm a MORON and deserve to be on display as such.
- heartcoldfusion, on 11/28/2007, -2/+4Clearly your comment demonstrates that.
- slashbot, on 11/28/2007, -0/+9It is 120 seconds, or the second you navigate away from the page.
Whichever comes first. - FKnight, on 11/28/2007, -0/+6Personally, I usually re-edit my comment after I've submitted it because the Digg comment system mangled it to begin with.
- Coolmatt49, on 11/28/2007, -2/+19Yeah, I know. I can't even post comments anymore.
- iViper, on 11/28/2007, -1/+16Me neither *rolleyes*
- bingo000, on 11/28/2007, -2/+2And here as well, not with Safari anyway!!
- tman84, on 11/28/2007, -0/+11also i get randomly logged out of digg without ever navigating away from the page, one minute i am logged in the next i go to digg a story and it says i must be logged in to do that
- Scopitone, on 11/28/2007, -3/+21I blame Ron Paul
- slashbot, on 11/28/2007, -1/+11This comment system still freezes firefox constantly.
Please fix it this century please- AdHaR, on 11/28/2007, -1/+3It's lightning fast on Firefox 3 beta1...
- rossnyc, on 11/28/2007, -5/+3The terrorists attacked the Digg internets? Oh noz
- Tizlox, on 11/28/2007, -0/+10I havent been able to send shouts for over a week now.
No-one at digg seems to care in the slightest - sent emails to support, feedback, and bug reporting.
Not one reply.- kindrobot, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3No info anywhere except some un-affiliated blog that ASSUMES it's because people have too many friends. How about maybe letting us know while "share" shouting instead of letting the little button gray-out for 45 minutes and then still do nothing?? And how is 80-ish friends too many IF that's the reason? I don't add people! They appear to be able to shout to me (sometimes too often). Also, the friends I did add in the beginning who did not mutually friend me were all deleted a few weeks ago to clean up shop and prevent spamming. How is this policy preventing spamming? Wanna prevent shout spam? Limit the number of shouts per day instead. Simple and doesn't leave users wondering what they've done wrong.
- heartcoldfusion, on 11/28/2007, -1/+2So his solution: more spam... er shouts from the people on your friends list. Awe-some!
- bpeacock22, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1New Friend's Activity does not clear when I view them. The number of new things just keeps going up and up... And when I click on a friend's comment, it doesn't take me to comment.
- frostbyt, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2Good. Broken means something needed to be fixed.
- BufordT, on 11/28/2007, -0/+14So is the comment system. Oh wait, that was "upgraded"
- MikeOSX, on 11/28/2007, -0/+18The Digg gang is too busy making joint venture and advertising deals. You can't expect them to maintain this site as well!
- CLShortFuse, on 11/28/2007, -8/+9I cannot comment on Digg from following Browsers
Opera 9 on Windows XP, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit
IE 6 on Windows XP
IE 7 on Windows XP, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit
Guess what? FIREFOX WORKS!
I'm boycotting this site until they stop using relying on browser-specific hacks. Sounds harsh? Isn't that what the Firefox community was so adamant about? Boycotting IE-only websites?
I mean, it doesn't work Opera and Opera is a Web 2.0 fully complaint while Firefox fails tests. Why would you develop and test on a browser that doesn't even fully follow Web 2.0 specs. I cannot comment on Digg from following Browsers

I'll check back on digg in a month but I'm tired of having to install Firefox on my friends' computers, at work, and while doing on-site tech jobs even though they have Opera. If you want to reply with a smug comment like "Well, everyone should be using Firefox anyway." then you're hypocrite when people used that line back when IE had market share.
Yes, Firefox has become new IE6.

You say you can't comment from any of the above browsers, but I just tried ALL of those and they work fine
How can a browser be Web 2.0 complaint, when that is just marketing BS, not a standard. The Acid2 test focuses on CSS, not JavaScript as used in the Digg comments - CLShortFuse, on 11/28/2007, -0/+6i'm not the only one with commenting problems from Opera, read higher up in the comments. I'm not making this up. Just because you're lucky to not be affect doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It's probably user specific since i've tried it on 9 different computers (yes, I"ve counted) and it only works on Firefox.
And as for Web 2.0, you know what I mean, don't be an ass trying to cover up the fact that Digg is using browser hacks. Acid2 was part of my point. I know web 2.0 is just tech-lingo, but AJAX and CSS are big parts of the "Web2.0 movement". If Firefox doesn't EVEN pass Acid2 test, you really shouldn't be using it for testing.
It's obvious that Digg is being coded with Firefox in mind. Don't be so myoptic. - bpeacock22, on 11/28/2007, -2/+3TLDR

- stonerose, on 11/28/2007, -3/+1Can't Share submissions with more than 20 people at a time.
- sexybobo, on 11/28/2007, -2/+5damn you can only spam 20 people at once? they need that fixed.
- kindrobot, on 11/29/2007, -1/+1Jeebus, you're a ***** idiot. Un-friend the person if they spam you. If someone I know has a short message to send me, I'd like them to be able to send it to me and others without having to jump through invisible hoops. This "Timmy kicked Tommy, so EVERYONE is staying inside for recess" concept is really tired. They need to limit NUMBER of shouts per day, not number of recipients.
- saifatlast, on 11/28/2007, -2/+4That's a feature, *****.
- kindrobot, on 11/28/2007, -1/+2And that feature is working SO well. I get shout spammed constantly anyway. Just limit the number of shouts per day instead.
- kindrobot, on 11/28/2007, -1/+2Also, your 20 per shout "guess" seems to not ring true for all users(I can't share shout to 19). As usual, Digg non-functionality is left to the users to investigate. We're left to guess why it doesn't work for us, but seems to work like a charm for every spammer on the site.

- Gambit89, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3About two weeks ago, the comments on most of the past articles have either disappeared or load only partially. I know it's been about two weeks because I was able to view the story back then; today, there is just whitespace. For example, these are from the top 365 days in tech news:
http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Digg_Unveils_New_Fea ...
http://www.digg.com/apple/Safari_on_Windows_4
I filed a bug report about two weeks ago, but I haven't had any response/feedback at all...- Gambit89, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3I meant to say that I noticed this problem started four weeks ago and I submitted a bug report two weeks ago, but the comment system has another bug that doesn't let me edit twice... sigh
- CLShortFuse, on 11/28/2007, -1/+3^ my comment disappeared on Firefox while i was trying to fix my copy paste mistake ^
just proves how messed it all is - GvnMcCld, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2Most of the bugs don't bother me too much, except for the paging bug. When I click to view comments 51-100 or whichever, if i go leave the page and come back and try to see those comments again, they won't appear.
- GvnMcCld, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2Oh, and if I leave the page after commenting and I come back within the 120 second edit period, I can't edit my comment anymore.
- Shuk, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2I haven't used Firefox in a while for Digg. Is there still the problem of Digg constantly freezing under Firefox?

- Ocelot13, on 11/28/2007, -2/+1i think a problem is that every MS article gets flamed by apple zealots and every mac article article makes it to the front page. is this an error or am i just missing something?
- fani, on 11/28/2007, -2/+101. moronic comment system
2. tough to find your own comments later
3. sometimes the comments don't get updated
4. i sometimes don't see in my profile stories I commented on, but they're visible when I go to the story
Another problem -
digg is a bunch of whiny 12 year olds who cannot take an opposing opinion. And redditers have a pole-stuck-in-my-ass attitude.
I just need to find a normal board.....- MattS, on 11/28/2007, -1/+6I fully agree with 1 - 4. Your last comment is more difficult to... address? You'll find more of the same regardless of the board. That's just 'people' today... That's a sad fact.
- mesysg, on 11/28/2007, -1/+2I agree with 1-4 as well, and also I will come back to the story I have commented on and the comments are in a different order each time I visit the page, very confusing.
- bingo000, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1I agree with all of it. But you can't call Booga Wooga a 12 year old. He is 5 at heart.
- MattS, on 11/28/2007, -1/+6I fully agree with 1 - 4. Your last comment is more difficult to... address? You'll find more of the same regardless of the board. That's just 'people' today... That's a sad fact.
- 4321234, on 11/28/2007, -10/+3The digg up/down buttons seem to be reversed. I make real funny, clever or relevant comments and they get dugg down. Other people's jackass lame retard comments get dug through the roof. Firefox, IE or Opera.
- grindmygears, on 11/28/2007, -4/+1You're bang on... Let's get dugg down together now!
- MattS, on 11/28/2007, -1/+3We know which way this is headed...
- BigBrother87, on 11/28/2007, -1/+4Seriously, Wordpress? When will they learn?

If you have new submissions, this is the time to ’shout it’ out to your friends if you haven’t already."
I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Does he realize THAT is broken as well, and finding out it wasn't just me or my browser(s) ended up being an investigative research project to discover?
Turns out I have too many friends??? (81 or so is too many? I don't add people!!) Sucky. - jquipp, on 11/28/2007, -0/+2kindrobot ... 'shouting' is one of the tasks I'm able to do, though it does seem buggy.
- kindrobot, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3Understatement. Why does it seem to work for spammers, but for someone who has never used it , it just sits there and never responds. That with IE, Opera, Firefox. I've heard a lot of guesses as to why. Too many friends, limited to 20 (19 doesn't work, 5 doesn't work), broken for now (yet users shout me constantly), etc etc. Pretty frustrating.

2.) Loads at dialup speeds. - spectre_25gt, on 11/28/2007, -0/+7I've noticed that pages stay in the "loading" status even after they're finished loading. Anyone else having trouble with that? Also, I'm seeing extra spaces in my comments if I enter a carriage return.
Example: There should be one line-height of space between this and the first paragraph. That's how it looks as I'm writing it. - starrychloe, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3The "Sort by most Diggs" in advanced search doesn't work.
- 4321234, on 11/28/2007, -0/+4Remember that your comment and I.P. also need to be redirected to and logged by the department of homeland security. And this results in a sort of digg effect double whammy. That explains the page loading status hang. The extra space when you hit carriage return is a side-effect bug related to triggering 2 send actions hitting "submit comment".

Everyone, let's give Digg some more heads up on their problems. Squeky wheels get the grease. - kindrobot, on 11/28/2007, -0/+4Ok, here's a great example. My latest "share story" shout RECEIVED 2 hours ago. It's from a user with 400 friends. I can't share shout a story with even 1 user, and the reasons I've been given so far are :
1. Too many friends. The share shout feature is not available to users who have too many friends. *****, this guy has 400, I have around 80.
2. Probably my browser. *****. I tried Firefox, IE and Opera.
3. Can't shout to more than 20 users at a time. *****. I can't shout to 1.
4. The dumbest so far, I haven't been on Digg long enough. ?? I've been here longer than a LOT of people. August 2005. That's BEFORE the user above with 400 friends, so *****.
So why can spammers shout to their little heart's content but I've never been able to share-shout ONCE, to even one user? And to those people who think I want to spam? ***** you. If I were a spammer, I wouldn't be this active and around this many years. I don't submit stories that often. And look at my shout history. Not very active in that sense.
You want to prevent shout spam? Try limiting number of shouts per day instead of creating a weird guessing game for us. It's not entertaining, it's a pain in the ass. -
