Now you tell me. I guess I'm the retard. ;-) It's one of those things that seemed to appear one day without warning. They made a change to the system and apparently it defaulted to displaying according to number of diggs so I figured that I didn't have any control over it. Oh well. Apparently some other people thought the same way though. Anyhow, I've got it changed to "sort by date (show all)" now. Thanks. -Matt Great! Now you tell me. I guess I’m the retard. ;-)

sort by most diggs
sort by date (show all)
sort by date (-10 diggs or higher)
sort by date (-4 diggs or higher)
sort by date (+0 diggs or higher)
sort by date (+5 diggs or higher)
sort by date (+10 diggs or higher)

it’s a drop down box right above the first comments number of diggs
sounds like this would solve most of your problems with digg’s comment system
