Every other day I check Digg to see how things are coming along. Upcoming is back, good. Now take a look at upcoming. Why does Upcoming remind me of a woman's magazine? Oh all the top ## lists posing as articles. These upcoming have between 50 or 60 diggs already. Thankfully I can click the x in the upper right of the listing and they seem to stay out of the list. Here is an example of Upcoming 'Entertainment" articles and their diggs on the first page.

5 weirdest game shot contestants - 49
9 suckiest movies - 43
5 actresses good at playing dumb - 43
Top 10 best dan cook jokes - 36
15 songs celebrating nerd girls - 32
20 child stars who have been arrested - 30

The categories I checked had at least a few of these top number lists. My loyalty is hanging on by a thread. Speaking of which. Threads and discussions are broken still. Here is a poorly written and hastily sent feedback to digg.

"Are you planning on fixing the commenting issues? IE I am unable to follow a threaded discussion easily from either my own list of comments or contacts. Followers messages are not linked to so I have to hunt them down in the thread itself. Not as bad as it could be since not many posts are occurring any longer. Catch 22 maybe? Still I have to wonder if it was a conscience decision to make it more difficult to continue discussions on digg as it does not ad to page views. Even when I click on my comment 9 times out of 10 it links to the story with NO comments listed, not even mine so I have to go through all comments to find it. I keep coming back to see if things are fixed. The color of the feedback form is blue while you did fix the threaded comments, we will call that one even. The upcoming is back but not working like it used to because the recommended is missing as well as All submitted. Crashes are at a minimum the article quality seems to be continuing the downward trend. I see crap in Science section that isn't science nor any way to bury or report it. Please tell me these things will be fixed, not considered or addressed then I will see if it is worth it to be here."

Update:  Looks like they fixed your own comments partially.  I can see them easily, with diggs but not if they have a reply (unless none of mine do, which is a good possibility).  Still can not see contacts diggs summary or comments.
