For anybody that is wondering, apparently you need 250 karma to change your topcolor: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=438957

Oh the irony. I've been at 249 for awhile now lol

[DanielRibeiro → steventruong]

It seems that I fixed that for you. Now you can respond to the poll accordingly.

[steventruong → DanielRibeiro]

Thanks but looks like that number must have changed. The setting is not available in my profile.

[steventruong → steventruong]

Looks like you have to have over 250. It finally triggered at 251

#FFCC00. It strikes me as a nice halfway point between YC's orange, and HN's tan background.

HN also has http://news.ycombinator.com/topcolors, which shows all the custom topcolors from users active in the past #{interval_i_cant_remember}.

Interesting response to this, I'd not even known I could change my top color, or that I'd recently "earned" the right to do so.

Now I know I'm excited about changing it and making sure I pick a suitably "awesome" color, even though I'm the kind of person who usually leaves everything on default unless there's a good reason to change it.

I changed it to #a3a3a1, to match the grey text. I spent far longer on it than I should have, but I'm pleased with the results.

[esalazar → redthrowaway]

I spent a lot of time on it as well. I ended up using green. It is light and easy on the eyes!

What was I thinking when I chose it? I wish I knew :P

It is a nice blue though. I even use it on my website now.

#CCCCCC

The orange Y goes with the grey which goes with the body and is less "flash" than the default.

#66ff00 - reminds me of the old greenscreen monitors.

Now I'm wondering what "delay" is.

[mds101 → maqr]

It's the time interval in minutes after which your comment becomes visible after it is posted. Presumably in order to let people edit/delete impulse comments.

[ars → mds101]

It's also the delay before it shows up in the RSS feed.
