One question that's not answered: what do green usernames represent? Would honestly love to know!
- blattimwind 9y agoNew account
- grinsekatze 9y agoAs far as I know, new users are green for a certain time period. edit: under 2 weeks old
- yeukhon 9y agoI thought earning enough karma would adjust the color to default, I guesd I am wrong.
- minimaxir 9y agoGood catch. Added.
- singularity2001 9y agoI honestly always assumed these are verified celebrities with a million karma.
- favadi 9y agoI always thought they are original poster.
- mercer 9y agoThat's red, I think.
- mintplant 9y agoIf you mean orange: > Additionally, founders of YC companies see each other's usernames show up in orange, which--although not an explicit benefit--does allow fellow YC founders to immediately identify one another in discussions. Submitters' names aren't highlighted in any way.
- mercer 9y agoThought I was going crazy for a bit, but submitters names do show up in red for me. Possibly an extra feature of the Hacker News Enhancement Suite :). TIL.
