Meta: going to mgoblog on mobile pulls up twitter first
Redesign was a terrible idea. Almost 2 years in and we still can’t edit OPs.
HUEL should change their name to HELL.
For the HELL they put their customers through with poor design and support.
I was thinking there should be a front page post addressing some of the sites issues and plans to resolve them. Can’t edit OPs, points don’t work, etc.
I know it’s been stated that the front page drives content and the board doesn’t matter but my suspicion is that most people are just using the home page as a way to refresh the board, which inflated the metrics. Lately, front page posts that are not game recaps have less than 50 comments.
I'm pretty sure site traffic trackers are smart enough not to give 2 views simply for refreshing the page. Because ad revenue is based on that stuff. The front page stories never have gotten that many comments. There are so many people who never make accounts or just never/barely post.
But yes, basic functionality would be nice. Still the most annoying thing to me is that I get sent to the last comment page every time I make a comment.
Those kickstarters for the magazines sure work though.
If I were kidnapped and needed to communicate this without tipping off my captors, "HUEL does excellent web developemnt" would be my code phrase for I need help

Go on...
That doesn’t happen for me.
This website is trash
But apparently I'm a raccoon because I keep coming back.
Hopefully Brain and Co. Will fix it after the NCAA tournament
Shit programming and then very little moderator bandwidth. Yes it’s “free”, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck.
If it hasn’t been fixed yet, I doubt it will be later.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. It blows my mind that the staff at MGoBlog won't do a GoFundMe for website updates. They would raise $100k easily and it would be more than enough money to fix all of the issues with any competent development shop.
Never seen that problem and I access from mobile all the time.
I don’t think as poorly of the redesign as others; I like the site fine. There are a couple of things that it does well or better, and a couple of things missing.
But things haven’t changed in a while. We may speculate as to why; I have two significant questions: 1. Have improvements been deferred because they cost too much? 2. Have improvements been deferred because HUEL has been working on other projects, such as, say, an app for the Iowa Caucuses?
There's something on your nose...
I would guess it's because Brian and the guys just don't care about the message board. I bet they would shut it down if they didn't think it would hurt traffic.
Yup... I’ve had it happen many times. Very strange.
I visit this site exclusively on mobile. I have never once had what you described happen. The mobile site is clean and easy to handle and read in the palm of my hands.
The ONLY issue I ever have is going back to edit text before submitting a post/comment. For some reason, this often makes the editor jump to another spot and add/delete text from a completely different location than where my cursor was.
Other than that, I think the site issues are way overblown on the board. I practically never encounter a problem.
Look everyone, it’s someone who works at HUEL!
I’m still amazed that mobile is still this bad. It’s literally the worst mobile message board I visit. This is including one about a specific grill I own. So, how’s that app coming along that everyone said they would pay whatever amount they wanted to charge?
