Ask PG: Can you explain the new features?
I notice that karma on comments is now hidden, and that some comments have an orange dot. I've also noticed that some user names on submissions are green. There may be other changes I haven't noticed.
Could you (or somebody) give a brief rundown of the changes, and the intent?

- michael_dorfman 16y agoI've seen the speculation; I was hoping that PG might weigh in with some actual facts.
- latch 16y agoProbably best to just wait until the experiment is over and then explain what was tried, what [seemed to] work and what [seemed not to] work. Especially since some of the changes are having short lives (orange dot).
- jfarmer 16y agoJust a test to see how my name looks. I've been green names and orange dots. Anything else?
