I've noticed some people's names are in green - why is this? Do you have an area where newcomers can find out how 'things' work on AB. I, for one, would find it useful.
(I enjoy coming to AB since there are a great number of people who show kindness and share knowledge in a non patronising way.)

Thanks jno - I never noticed either the tutorial or FAQs - Did I really begin as a 'green name' myself'? I can't remember. I had thought one had to answer several thousand questions and was awarded the colour!
You go silver after 2500 questions, gold after 5000, and get a platinum medal after 10,000.

I have yet to notice any of those colours. Surely Edith and BigDave44 would be well on their way to a rainbow effect of some kind?
