Maybe your screenshot has no people with friends on Digg. I’m pretty sure the number in the bracket refers to the number of friends that person has, not the stories promoted to the homepage.

This story disappeared from all Digg top lists. It got buried pretty fast, something I wouldn't expect from a pretty neutral story in an upcoming section. Heh.

My account is not flagged yet the system "half" logs me in. I can see friend related information (green stripe, friends who dugg this tab) but that is it... Real strange. I hope to have this resolved soon as the only way for me to log in is to request a password change. That only lasts until I log out then I have to request another password change! Chris,

I can't login yet the site acts as if I am logged in (shows which friends dugg a story, clicking links opens new windows as it is set in my profile and my comment viewing thresholds all work.) I don't know if I just pissed someone off or what but I can't interact with Digg today... I would have dugg this but I seem to be on some form of Digg ‘probation’.
