Reader comments about the newly redesigned Guardian website appear to have been overwhelmingly negative so far.

The new-look site launched today in the UK after having been rolled out to Australia and the US over the last few months.

In a comments thread underneath a story announcing the launch of the UK version of the site, user Demain44 said: "I really hate the 'new look' homepage. I don't like the font (face and size), the layout, the navigation. I can't find things I used to be able go to directly."
