Totally bent at the stupidity of Digg

[img_assist|nid=84|title=Stupid Digg Error Message on Password reset!|desc=|link=node|align=center|width=425|height=159]So I have a story that I wanted to Digg today and when I went to sign-in I apparently have forgotten my password. Not unusual since I regularly change my passwords like a good geek should. I happily look for the "Reset/ Retrieve your password here" link. Enter my email, wait 5 minutes and then check my mail. Link received as expected! Cool!

Click the link and I am greeted with the message on the right! WTH! I try resetting it again. Same message. This is the kind of thing that ultimately will keep a user from returning to a site and for me is something I will not waste any more time on today.

Your RT about this got my attention again. Have you seen this, by Guy Kawasaki:

"Many people think that Digg is a good place to find stuff that approximately 100 forty-year old men living with their parents find interesting. I don't use it very often because that's not who I'm trying to pick up, but you can find many few gems there." - Guy Kawasaki

I have finally given up and just dropped my old account. After multiple emails and a crap load of auto responses, still no resolution.
