It'll do. 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).

There are a few glitches (even after cache-clearing):

My username is long enough that the end disappears behind the "Create new article" button.

The number of comments on a post is no longer displayed except in the page for that post.

Loading lesswrong.com gives a page in which none of "Promoted", "New", "Top", or "Saved" is highlighted.

"Nearby meetings" shows a single meeting, in Australia. I am in the U.K. How is the site deciding what is "nearby"?

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".

The foot of each comment seems to have too much empty space in it, especially for nested comments.

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.

Agreed - we'll fix that.

An oversight. We'll fix that.

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).

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.

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

Thanks. I think there are two issues there - the normal padding and that the comments-new-since-your-last-visit styling consumes extra space. We'll fix the latter, and will review the former.
