On Reddit there is an envelop which turns orange but on Hacker News I don't see any of that. Do I have to just keep checking manually?

Thank you! I wish Hacker News natively added this. I don't think they ever will because I guess they want to keep this website as minimalistic as possible.

I've tried voting up other people's articles here but all numbers remain the same. Is it because I'm new here? How long until I'm able to vote?

I would start a new thread but HN says I'm submitting too fast.

You could always look in the threads section... That's what I do.
