I have some good news:
I like that it highlights new comments (but I'm not too keen on how the highlighting is done -- the thick green border looks pale and fuzzy).
We'll review that styling.
My username is long enough that the end disappears behind the "Create new article" button.
Agreed - we'll fix that.
The number of comments on a post is no longer displayed except in the page for that post.
An oversight. We'll fix that.
Loading lesswrong.com gives a page in which none of "Promoted", "New", "Top", or "Saved" is highlighted.
Changes coming to lesswrong.com - they didn't quite make the presses.
"Nearby meetings" shows a single meeting, in Australia. I am in the U.K. How is the site deciding what is "nearby"?
Of the set of 3 meetups that have been entered into the new system, those are the 3 closest. That list will likely look much better in a few days (as others enter new meetups to the new system).
Is there any page I can go to to see all forthcoming meetups, regardless of location? If I was travelling, I might very well want to know of meetups not currently "nearby".
Click the meetups title in the sidebar.
We have a feature we didn't quite get to to honour the location you can enter on your profile over geoip.
The foot of each comment seems to have too much empty space in it, especially for nested comments.
Hmm… there seems to be a lot of unhappy being directed at the icons down there. We'll review.

I'm pretty sure he's not referring to the icons, but to the bottom of stacks of nested comments, like in this screenshot
I saw some discussion posts earlier talking about a LessWrong redesign, and now that things look different, I guess that it's been implemented. I'm always slightly annoyed for a while when a site I use gets redesigned because I have to relearn where everything is, but it eventually wears off once I'm used to the changes.
My initial impressions:
"Hmmm... it seems like the category menus have been replaced by dropdown menus. It's not like I used many of them anyway."
"Okay, I've clicked my name to see my recently posted comments. Now, where's the link to see it in context? Oh, I guess I have to click that icon in the lower right corner. For some reason I was looking for something at the upper right of the comment box."
"Well, that worked. Now how do I click to the parent comment? Oh, wait, it's probably one of those new icons in the lower right corner. I'll just mouseover them to see what they do..."
::realization sets in::
"AAUGH! LESSWRONG IS USING MYSTERY MEAT NAVIGATION!!!"
So, what does everyone else think of the new redesign?
