I understand that the changes are still ongoing to some degree, but I will be fairly upset if there is no modification to make it easier to access users' comment histories, as I described here in the redesign suggestion thread.
In addition, I had to flip through my comments one page at a time to find that link, because the "load more comments" link at the end of the main suggestion thread is not functioning properly, i.e. it does not appear to be loading all of the comments.
ETA: The new "load all comments" link appears to function correctly, but does not sort correctly. For example (using the above-linked suggestions thread), the last comment after loading all when sorting by new is one of mine, and the first comment when sorting by old is one of Louie's.
This has made me realize that switching the sort option for one thread switches it for all threads. This is not preferable behavior. Switching the sort within the thread should only switch that thread at that time, and users should have a global preference to set for default sorting behavior.
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 it seems like the category menus have been replaced by dropdown menus.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?
