enable certain gold features for all users

i was gifted 30 days of gold for the first time and in the past 29 days i've had it, i've used only 3 gold features:

New comment highlighting. (mods without gold also get it for their subs)

View saved comments by subreddit.

check/uncheck in the sidebar Show this subreddit's theme (also in preferences for display options)

these features are helpful and can benefit all users, so maybe reddit can enable them for everyone like they did for username mentions.

In keeping with our policy for gradually un-gating reddit gold features, we have also rolled out username mentions to the masses.

Winding down postcards for gold

Hey all, I wanted to let you know that we’re winding our our postcards-for-gold program. We’ve received a ton of awesome postcards from around the world. We even built a cool gallery to display them. However, the process of receiving/scanning/anonymizing/entering data for each postcard we received is surprisingly labor intensive. As such, we’ve decided to close the program so we can focus on projects that benefit all Redditors, rather than a select few.

We will be giving gold to all the postcards that we have received but have not yet processed, though it may take a little while to get around to. Thank you to everyone who took the time to send in a postcard!

unable to hide theme for /r/movies

When I visit most subreddits, I get a "Show this subreddit's theme" check box. This is a nice gold benefit, in that I can turn themes off and on per subreddit, on-the-fly. I don't see this option over at /r/movies. I am aware RES has a similar feature, but I am not using RES, and since it's a gold benefit, it should be there, right? Am I missing something?

Is there anyway to get the "ALL" link at the top to link to the filtered all?

I don't care about the url change, I just want the link in the topbar to change.

Does the "Remember what links I've visited" feature work between Alien Blue and Browser?

This is easily one of my most desired features, but will it work between the two? Or is it more between laptop / desktop.

You should all be ashamed! I actually BOUGHT my pro version!

Don't mind me I'm just sad I didn't know about the Black Friday free deal. You are all awesome.

I did buy my pro...

But only because I've been through every iPhone released and I got the universal app for iPad I think. And when it was bad a few years back or months, I tried every Reddit app there was.

Nothing came close.

How many of us have been gilded because we're using Alien Blue Pro?

Also, are we able to pass on or "re-gift" some of the gold we've been given? I don't have an awful lot of money, so I've never been able to gild anyone before - but I'd like to, if it's possible!

Edit: wow, seems like there's quite a few of us, huh - thanks for the gold, Reddit!

Once my reddit gold expires, will my snoovatar be removed as well?

Also, will the reddit server time thingy on your profile be gone as well? :)

Update: Closing the Gold Partners Program

As part of our efforts to consolidate Reddit Gold we have made the decision to discontinue the Gold Partners program, effective March 17th 2016. You will be able to retrieving existing codes up until that date. Note: this is just the date at which we will no longer be providing codes, codes will work up until the expiry set by the specific partner.

We would like to thank all the partners who participated in the program.

Does anyone else not like how comment highlighting works?

At the moment, comment highlighting simply doesn't work very well. I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, but it definitely isn't accurately keeping track of the last time I visited threads. It would be way more convenient IMO to have options in the drop down menu like, 'highlight comments from the past 5/10/30/60 minutes'.

I am being banned from a subreddit for giving away some of my gold benefits.

Good afternoon. I am apparently banned from a certain popular subreddit because I gave away some of my Gold code promotions that I will never use because it violates the reddit terms and conditions(according to the sub moderator). I have looked and read through the terms and conditions however I have been unable to find where it is not allowed.

I've asked him for the source but he says I should look it up myself. Does this exist, or am I being bullshitted? Thanks.

Any news on benefits for international users?

I keep getting told that they're "in the works", but it seems like nothing's happening.

It's a bit of a let-down when you see what's available to US users, but there's darn near nothing for us non-US users.
