Digg's New Threaded Comment System

Digg has added a new comment system which, in an apparent effort to fight "comment abuse", hides replies automatically. Comments can be expanded either through clicking on 'View Replies' or using the 'Expand Tree' button in 'Comment Display Options'. The Digg Up and Digg Down buttons also have new icons.

But perhaps the biggest change is the ability to reply to replies, aka "threading". It's a feature users have been requesting for a long time, and it's nice to see it finally arrive.

Here's some screenshots. PS: If the images go offline, I've mirrored them here: Old comments, New style, Expanded comments, Threaded replies.

At the moment, Digg is having some intermittent loading problems, so you may have trouble seeing the new changes. I expect this will be fixed shortly, they've probably had to take some servers offline while they're rolling out the update.
