> HN highlights your username in orange to indicate that you're a YC founder

Huh? The username looks like any other to me. The only other color I ever see is green for new accounts.

Interesting hadn’t heard of this hidden feature. No, ordinary users of the site cannot see this.

HN gives three features to YC: job ads (see above) and startup launches get placed on the front page, and YC founder names are displayed to other YC alumni in orange.
