In the previous styling, hints were opened sequentially - i.e. you had to open hint 1 to see an option to open hint 2, and then open hint 2 to see an option to open hint 3, etc. This is desirable to allow for tiered levels of hints (i.e. hints that get progressively more detailed/explicit). In the new style/format based on KUL it displays "open hint" for each hint immediately, hence one can open hint 3 without ever looking at hint 1 or 2.
