Thanks everyone for your comments on our video preview of the new upcoming comments system.
Now that we’ve had some time to digest all of your feedback, here are some of the changes we’re planning to include into this release, based directly on your feedback:
- Ability to change your up/down vote for a comment
- Display the number of Diggs and buries for a comment
- Ability to delete your comments during the editing time frame
- Display the number of replies to a comment you’ve posted in your profile
- When sorting by ‘most Diggs’, provide links to view original thread or reply to that comment
- A display of comments sorted by ‘best threads’, which will be based on the quality of comments in a particular thread
- Added the filter option as a profile setting
- If the post is
We’ve also heard a lot of feedback on the number of comments to pre-load. We’ll base our implementation direction (number of comments to pre-load) on the outcome of performance benchmarking that we are doing.
Again, thanks for all the great feedback. We’re looking forward to rolling out an easier, improved system soon.

Some users are experiencing session timeouts/logouts while Digging around the site. We’re aware of this issue, and performing code audits to try and nail down the cause.
If you’d like to help troubleshoot this issue, please send us an email to feedback [at] digg [dot] com with the following:
- Email subject: “Logout Bug”
- Does this happen while on the site or between visits to the site?
- If on the site, what where the last three things they did before getting logged out?
- What OS/Browser are you using?
- What is your user name and when did this problem occur?
That’s it for now. Digg on,
Kevin
