kftgr: I have noticed this submission error, too. I have reported it as a bug to Digg.

Edit: Digg support was very quick to fix the bug! You may submit now.

Steve Barker great job on opening the web

One email every few months

I also helped open 2 sites and a few others with a few emails to the web masters

I now have this as my signature on all my emails:

Why Open the Web?

Despite the connecting purpose of the Web, it is not entirely open to all of its users. When used correctly, HTML documents can be displayed across platforms and devices. However, many devices are excluded access to Web content.

For a number of years I have had to change my identity to Netscape to get into the Royal Opera House website ( http://www.roh.org.uk ). This has resulted in e-mails to the webmaster each time. Recently progress was made, and the Royal Opera House, at last, is Opera friendly. Complaining can get results.

“Cutts responded, in effect, that Google knows plenty about running big Web sites, thank you very much.”

That’s a funny comment considering Google’s constant breakage of Opera on their sites.

Microsoft deserves a one big slap. Google should now go and break IE6 in GMail because the majority of users don't use it (by their statistics which they wouldn't publish of course). Then MS will suck it!

I’ve had certain websites only allow me to use Opera if I made it think it was IE. I decided to use other websites because I never liked that on statistics it came up IE. How’s Opera supposed to get people to properly code pages if they think they only have to code them for lazy browsers that don’t render properly?
