OT: This is the first time I've been back to the blog since the update and I am floored. Well done in cleaning this place up guys!
I'm still getting a hang of the new layout (took me 15 minutes to figure out how to make a board post) but other than that this place looks very sharp. I kinda miss the old format that made this place look like an early 2000s chat forum, but this is a welcome change. Thanks for the effort y'all!
Your title alone almost qualifies for a diary
Yeah between that and figuring out how to logout I feel like I'm back to day 1 all over again.
I don't know what the hell is going on anymore. I haven't received a point since the reboot, and I don't know if I can't figure out how to post, or I'm just unable to.
Posting just to see if I am actually logged in....!?
“I haven’t received a point since the reboot”
Site’s working, guys.
Why do you care about points? Does that change your enjoyment of the blog?
Why do you care about, well, everything?
This place sucks. Don’t let the looks fool ya
On a positive note, my wife loves the new site. I only check it once a week or so now. This place is like Facebook to me, I'm here but I only check infrequently and every time I'm here I get annoyed and wonder why I came. I've been enjoying the wolverine wire though.
Liar. You’re not the only one who checks once a week. Now if you said you check only once a week, I’d believe you.
yeah I can't even see where my profile is now
well, now I can get to it from my comment
Try editing your post OP.
Around these parts you should say what you mean anyways
No take backs!
I can still edit them.
I won't, but I can.
Show off
My biggest complaint is the title ribbon takes up too much space. The board posts are wayyy down the page.
My biggest complaint is my dick and paycheck are too small and my ass is too big. Ribbon size is wayyy down the list.
I’d like to upvote this.
Hahahahahahaha
It's fantastic all around! So happy with the product! Here, take my upvote for the rare optimism and positivity around these parts! Oh, wait ... I can't vote. Or edit. Or see my profile. Or see the bulk of the comments without buying a new mouse every three minutes on Amazon because of the wear this site is putting on the scroll wheels.
Well, the mobile version is a disaster, imo. I used to visit multiple times per day. I haven't visited in weeks. On the plus side, I am enjoying the summer weather!
I also generally like the new layout.
I'm on the other side of the fence. The new site feels lacking of content, regardless of this being a dead time of the year. I would question if overall traffic has also diminished since the new launch (June'17 vs. June'18). I know I find myself visiting less frequently and am more apt to check Eleven Warriors to help fill the void, even if it is irrelevant to my rooting interests. Has our Mgoblog lost some of its editorial staff?
Hate to say I kinda agree. It feels like Brian is out growing the whole Michigan super fandom and less & less is being put in here.
Come on man, he's gotta make time for his new political podcast gig.
I doubt he's any less a Michigan superfan.
OTOH, pretty certain he's a whole lot more a dad than he used to be. Sometimes priorities tend to evolve without one necessarily realizing it.
Not only that, but between the glitches of the new format and (more importantly) the near-absence of Ace due to health issues, I'm sure Brian has plenty on his plate right now trying to get site traffic back up to pre- 3.0 levels. As hard as it is to adjust to the changes, I remind myself that MGoBlog is 100% free and I'm remaining patient and optimistic that we'll get through this rough stretch and be just fine in the long run.
I hate the update less than some people, but damn if the comments sections aren't terrible. It's sometimes hard to follow who is replying to what, there is too much white space and your eyes are not drawn to the right places. Not to mention, it just looks bad.
I have a hard time following replies as well. I don't hate the update, but this is my first comment on 3.0. I figured I'd just sit back let everyone else work the kinks out
My general feeling about the site is that there is too much whitespace. Feels a little like 90's yahoo.
Were you paid to make this post?
OP, blink twice if Brian has you hostage.
+1 funny (hypothetically)
I'm just not with you on this one. I'm generally OK with the front page, although it feels a lot more difficult to find content. The message board is terrible. I have no idea who is responding to what post. Overall, my site visits are way down from the old version.
Its a welcome change to take 15 minutes just to make a board post?
Great point there, Gerald.
I would be happy with an added poll and a better up to date message board. As is, I do not care for the message board. There is something lacking with it.
The new look is better, but there could be some additional tweaks to provide a better user experience, especially for mobile. Welcome back, OP.
Nice try Brian
On the one hand, the new design and functionality issues appear to be keeping the riff raff away. On the other hand, my eyes hurt.
Let it be known this isn't me on a burner account
Lets see... OP at 1:08, time it takes to logout, log in to burner, and navigate all the way back to post at 2:14? Checks out.
My first laugh from the new site.
Seth - Liar, liar, pants on fire.
That's just what someone with a burner account would say.
Like WD
I'm fine with the new site, but hugely miss the MGOBLOG app. That was my primary method for checking in during the day (when away from my computer), and hence my overall site usage is way down now.
It's new and different. I'm at an age where it takes me a while to get used to things that are new or different. But I'm getting there with this place.
I'm reminded of complaining about every single release of Windows. And the features I liked best about a new version were those that looked like the features on older versions.
I just realized I probably need therapy.
Can I get in for a group rate?
