I’ve occasionally seen green numbers in Discussion, but I think it happens when a thread has recently been moved to Main and parts of the database are still out of sync with each other.
Actually, green circles are for promoted posts, not all main posts.
So why do they show up in discussion? I wouldn’t expect many promoted posts to lose their promotion, let alone be sent to discussion. The only examples I have of green circles in discussion are meetupannouncements, which are plausibly demoted as obsolete.
Can somebody explain the colors of the vote icon of a post? I see
empty, no number, only a dot—occurs even for posts that have been voted
a number in white
a number in green
