New Comment Features

Edit: I was seeing some weirdness with different comments by the same person being highlighted / not highlighted, but it turns out that it was just due to caching (see pg's response below).

There's just some caching going on.

Will this go away over time?

Twould be a pretty alarming form of caching if it didn't.

(I probably just lowered my post-karma average, but that comment was way too funny not to react to.)

I don't believe this is true. I see plenty of orange responses to my comments 30+ days old.

Caches don't get updated all-at-once. Some older comments will be updated before others.

My own new comments weren't showing up as highlighted for some reason. Now they are.

I didn't believe I had an average score of less than 3.5 (not to brag or anything... it's only 4.4, for the record ;), so I went back to average my last 50 comments scores, and on the 2nd or 3rd page I noticed my username was finally orange.

Anyway, it seems to be ok now.
