I didn't realise clicking on the name lead to the profile for 2 months after I started lurking on HN. It's not that obvious...

Security in obscurity.

I can’t gloat, after 10 years I recently discovered I can favourite threads. It’s changed everything.

Hacker News has a number of little hidden features that you find as you keep using it. It's like an easter egg hunt of sorts, I guess. You could blame part of it on poor UI or whatnot, but I personally find it kind of fun to discover new things about the site (having a general understanding of how it works, so it's not like I am missing some critical functionality).
