I’m a bit late to the party, but Digg has always been hit or miss for me. It doesn’t always log me out, but it does tend to log me out at weird times too – often right when I am about to submit. I never figured it out, but I would just relogin =)

Other times, it would surprise me to find out that I was logged in as someone else, because people would log me out and log in on their accounts and it would remember =P

It’s fascinating to see how many people have different experiences. I really thought it was a solid feature, but others are obviously reporting problems with it. Odd.

Actually I have found Digg logs me out all the time, even when I have selected the remember me option. I am using Opera and its got the wand enabled to re-logging in with Opera is very easy since it will remember the username and password for all the sites and will enter them at the click of a button. Digg is good, but the submission process is a bit tedious with all its checks.

I’ve got it the other way round. With IE I can’t do anything ’cause I’m logged out at the very first second after I logged in. I had to switch to Firefox just to add a couple of lines comment.

Ditto, Andrew. I joined Digg a long time ago but only became a regular user recently. It would log me out (I use IE7) a few times, but eventually I’d get back in. This morning, every time I went to Digg, I found it had logged me out. I signed back on over seven times to no avail.

I think It may be the browser that each individual uses. Firefox logs me out, but explorer keeps me logged in. Weird, that!

I’m with you Andrew. Digg and del.icio.us keep me there but Propeller and others require me to log in almost every time.
But I think this is just a small thing in everything that makes Digg the huge success it is.

It’s quite interesting that you guys have problems staying logged in at Digg. I thought it just had the technology figured out well. But apparently they’re all flaky with different people.

Eric – I hear you on the captchas. I can’t stand them!! The capitalization bit is the worst part.

I have the same problem with Digg. Sometimes Digg will log me out in between leaving comments. I’ll leave one comment, then try to leave another and find I’m logged out. I also find that Digg doesn’t work with Firefox for me, so I have to use IE (IE Tab in Firefox does work) or another browser.

I also hate the captchas. I have a lot of trouble with them. Does it want the letter capitalized, or not? They never seem consistent.
