I'm amazed this is the only link about this major change on HN with any comments that I can see. Everything about this update is a mess. Requiring linked G+ account without properly informing users (causing mass confusion), the visual clutter that is bolded hashtags and G+ usernames, and removal of 'In reply to x user' link (resulting in having to guess what it's a reply to in long threads)... Ugh. PS: nice to see a Gopher fan ;)
