It seems that you can still see how many points a comment has when it's nonpositive.

Edit:

And there are other comments with negative points where the number doesn't show. And still other comments with positive score that are showing up. Consider me confused.

You can see points on your own posts (which is a good idea!) but not others, it appears.

I see that your post here currently has 1 point.

Maybe it's just switching around randomly for now? Because now I can see the points of both of your comments.

Like pg said:

"so don't freak out of the site changes in some way. It will probably change back."

The orange dots / hidden points change has probably been temporarily reverted, that's all.

We're not freaking out -- we're just curious why things are working the way they are.

Didn't mean to imply you were: I was suggesting that the change might have been temporarily reverted. Looks like it's back now.
