Digg won't let me submit my site.. NOT banned from Digg either.

    So since a few days ago Digg has been giving me this error when I attempt to submit my site: "This link does not appear to be a working link. Please check the URL and try again."

    Anybody got any clue as to why this is happening? I researched and this has happened to other people but it seems for them it was because of a bad WordPress plugin, but my site isn't even using WP... Here's a link to my site to see if you guys can find anything wrong or mayeb some sort of workaround for this problem!!

    EDIT: Resolved the issue. It was something to do with mod_rewrite in my .htaccess

    That's strange I've never had that problem with Digg before,
    you should contact them and let them know about this.

    Trust me it's not banned from Digg. The text it gives you when you try to submit a banned URL to Digg is something along the lines of "Banned URL" The site isn't banned from Digg. It's like a week old site and has had like 5 or 6 Diggs total. I filed a Bug Report for it and I'm also about to email . Any other suggestions? Anyone else been in a similar predicament before?

    .htaccess is where you put URL restrictions, redirects and a lot of things that can help optimize a site for SE rankings... or just restrict access coming from pages you hate or the opposite.

    google.com.ph/search?q=.htaccess&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:eek:fficial&client=firefox-a
