I'd like an explanation of what all the things on your profile page do. I think it's mostly covered, but what does "delay" do? Measured in seconds, minutes, or what? Even just a mouse-over would help.


I agree that it could be more user friendly, but here's the function of delay (from http://ycombinator.com/newsnews.html):

>There's a new "delay" field in your profile that lets you specify the delay (in minutes) between when you create a comment and when it's visible to others; this was added because many users edit comments immediately after posting them.


Thanks! I thought I checked that page...
