How can I find pages that are in the no-mans-land between top and new? I saw a submission for Trevor's article on languages: http://tlb.org/busywork.html but now I have no way of finding the discussion about it. On reddit the submit bookmarklet would find it with its dup-detection.

Dup detection seems brain dead to implement; is there a deliberate reason news.yc doesn't have it?

Can we get the ability to see what we've liked and where we've commented from our profiles please? I keep forgetting where I've commented and what that awsome article I liked was.

Also bug report. When I enter some characters in comments such as “ and ’ it goes a bit funny.

Ability to view my own comment history. When I click on someone else's user id, I see their comments. When I click on my own, all I see are my preferences.

Edit: correction, I guess the user pages show just submissions and not comments, for any user. So I guess I'm requesting comment history.

1) no way to tell which are new posts - I cant believe it didnt occur to you to color old or unread posts differently! Idea - change the color of every post title as it ages, from Yellow to black. (or light gray to black). 2) poorly organized. I had to reply individually because I wasnt sure they would see it. See here http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=1890 3) what is showdead? 4) there seems to be a clamor of links to articles.
