phew I thought it was just me… I am setting up a few new blog sites… wish I hadn’t gone with 2.5 now!

Ah well… waiting patiently

Thanks for your effort though, anyone who offers up free stuff is a legend.

@Lazy Man. The current implementation does use Ajax. The problem isn’t necessarily the script, it’s the response time from Digg’s server. The plan was to build in a caching system with the WP database, but I haven’t got around to it yet.

@Steve, I haven’t upgraded to WP 2.5, so I wasn’t aware that it was incompatible. I should be upgrading my sites soon, so I’ll probably work out an update. Not sure of an ETA… but soon.

Excellent stuff, but as mentioned, it’s too slow to be practical. I’d like to see an Ajax/Javascript version. I found one for Delicious, but can’t seem to get it to work for Digg.

Awesome idea. Cheers from India.
As one above told, I started professional blogging for 2-3 weeks and i’m still in the beginning stages. So, to be realistic, i cant expect a Digg soon..
But, this Plugin in awesome and nicely worked out.

And i want to say you this (abt Stumbleupon)
I too will be grateful to you for a plugin that shows the number of “Thumbs Up” for a site on stumbleupon.
I will surely blog that in my blog too…

Many Thanks from a 16-year young teenager.
Take Care

I’ve noticed that problem, too. There’s no timer built in to it, so there’s nothing in the plugin code that should be holding up the works.

I have a feeling it has to do with the response time from Digg’s API server, and I’m not sure if there’s anything that can be done to optimize that.

The best thing I can come up with is to put a kind of cacheing system into it, so that you don’t have to wait for the Digg API server every time a page loads. That should be done in the next week or so, hopefully.

For me it’s very slow. From the moment i open a post and till the moment the badge shows up, it takes about 30s to 1 minute.

Can i edit something to make it faster? Like a timer or something?
