META: Creating posts on mobile
I really like the new site. Much improved and like that it's a responsive site that works well on different screen formats.
Having said that, I can't find how to create a new MgoBoard post on my phone. On desktop, you just click the 'Post to MgoBoard' button but I don't see that on mobile. Also can't get into my user profile on mobile but I saw someone else already created a post for that.
I'm willing to accept this may be an issue solely with the end user, I just can't figure it out.
Here is the url to post a new topic to the MGoBoard.

The mobile view of the site has a few bugs and this is one of them. I hope the MGoBlog team wants us to keep posting these. Maybe we should have a sticky thread for a while, instead of creating a new topic each time.
Ugh, anybody else getting "access denied"?
I had to re-login after clicking that url and getting that message on mobile, then it worked fine.
I'm getting no luck. Maybe the point threshold is higher now. I hope not.
Where is this 'Post to Mgoboard' button you speak of? I'm currently on a desktop and can't find it.
Look in the top right corner where it says "Welcome twotrueblue" and it should be underneath that.
Huh. That's odd. This is what I have:
Welcome
twotrueblue

You need at least 100 MGoPoints to create new posts.
I don't know how to tell you this but...
hm on my screen my images got blocked; did they go through?
No, I got two red x's
well thats annoying
That's what I have too. We both obviously have enough points...Also is up/downvoting really gone?
http://mgoblog.com/user/XXYYZZ/edit to edit your user profile.
To find your user number, start posting a picture in a comment. Replace the XXYYZZ above with your number.
Thanks a ton! I'd upvote you if I could!
I am still unable to post a gif. Maybe some of you computer jocks can help me.
If you're using Android, there was an explanation in the Illini hockey thread. Basically you have to download the gif to your device then use the box above (second from right) to select and upload. Click the check mark and it appears in your post correctly. Only works for .gif and .jpeg I think.
Here’s to hoping all of these things get resolved soon. I like the appearance of the new site, but I’ll miss the app even with the responsive site.
In a pinch, you can switch to the Desktop site in your browser (Android you can select from the little overflow icon at the top right of the browser; not sure about iOS), and then you'll see the create content buttons.
Test
Thank you, thank you, thank you, a million times, THANK YOU!!!!
I am going blind. I do not see an edit button even on the desktop.
Is it possible to edit a post or a reply after it has been posted?
Is the 'Edit' button working?
Answer - apparently not yet.
I think there's something wrong with my points. It doesn't give me the option to make new posts, I can't see the upvote/downvote mechanism, and underneath my username on the top of the page it says "You need at least 100 MGoPoints to create new posts."
It's not a huge deal because I don't really have the desire to make posts (although I'd like to upvote things), just thought I'd share my hypothesis in case someone else is having the same problem.
