That's not really a redesign issue, but I've changed the order in which comments appear; we'll see whether that's more intuitive. Repeat visitors to a thread may find it a bit irritating, but again, we'll see.

I'm mostly a lurker, so this doesn't have much to do with me but I was just curious: will the redesign do anything to make the comments appear in a more sensible order? Having the 50 previous comments under a separate link gets kind of confusing, since you already have to click once to get into the entry.

Ooh, a redesign; I'm excited! Will comments be numbered now? I would really like it if comments were numbered.

"Palm tree underwear," Allison? Crap, now you've piqued my interest.

I miss the essays you used to do. Now the site seems more like short snippets of literary/film/TV criticism – not the kickass and hilarious entries you used to have.

I'm not criticising, I still love the site but I spend most of my time browsing through the archives. I think, especially for international readers (UK here), a lot of your current cultural content sort of goes over our heads.

The med student's blog sounds really interesting – can't wait!

Am very excited by baseball having its own category. Cannot wait for the trash talking to begin. (Not that I have any idea who the Braves even have at this point.)

Ah the archives… I go through them every once in a while just to laugh at "that guy" and the palm tree underware. Whatever happened to the phone call dialogs?

Sars – is there any way you could include an advanced search kind of feature?

It'd be helpful in terms of searching through old Vines, for example. The possibility to search for a certain word within a certain category would be fantastic, or perhaps listing the search results in a way that gives you the snippet of text the word was found in as well?

It's especially hard now because you only get a list of The Vine of This and This Date-like titles to check one by one. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Vine crawl, and I know it's a lot to ask, but in terms of functionality that'd be AWESOME.
