For those who may be having trouble keeping up with "Recent Comments" or finding the interface a bit plain, I've written a Greasemonkey script to make it easier/prettier. Here is a screenshot.
Explanation of features:
loads and threads up to 400 most recent comments on one screen
use [↑] and [↓] to mark favored/disfavored authors
comments are color coded based on author/points (pink) and recency (yellow)
replies to you are outlined in red
hover over [+] to view single collapsed comment
hover over/click [^] to highlight/scroll to parent comment
marks comments read (grey) based on scrolling
shows only new/unread comments upon refresh
date/time are converted to your local time zone
click comment date/time for permalink
To install, first get Greasemonkey, then click here. Once that's done, use this link to get to the reader interface.
ETA: I've placed the script is in the public domain. Chrome is not supported.
May I suggest submitting the script to userscripts.org? It will make it easier for future LessWrong readers to find it, as well as detectable by Greasefire.
