I believe the only way to do it is to click on their name.
November 1st, 2018 at 11:29 AM ^
It has to be within a thread. Clicking on your name in the top-right corner just takes you to the page where you set up your password and whatnot.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:13 AM ^
Well it's pretty obvious that it's my very important thoughts you want to look up.
Just tell me what you're looking for and ill be happy to repeat it for you.

Top 10 snarky comments by MGrowOld.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:26 AM ^
It's the same process before the site update.
One thing that needs to be changed is the default posts per page able to be viewed. It's set at 50, but I want it set as 100. Why we cannot save the setting is a mystery. We were able to save the amount per page last time.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:43 AM ^
I had it set at 300 on 2.0, which was enough to view most threads in their entirety.
And being able to view my own post history would be nice. It's hard to keep track of conversations in multiple threads without that option.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:45 AM ^
You can either search for your user name in the search bar or you can click on your user name in any post and that will take you to your posting history.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:12 AM ^
That doesn't work when I'm logged onto my account, only when I'm logged out.
November 1st, 2018 at 10:31 AM ^
I think that means it's broken for you, just like the points don't work for some of us. Another way is to pull it up on your browser history in another tab.
November 1st, 2018 at 11:27 AM ^
I don't think the points work for anyone. If you have over 500 points you can vote on posts, but it does nothing.

Friend of mine played basketball for Michigan in the early 80's (you'd know his name) and he said that Brandon was a total cunt to all of the former players. Wanted them to pay for their own alumni event tickets and shit like that. Hackett fixed all of that really fast.
He also said that he didn't get jack shit in the form of impermissible benefits as a student (and he was talented enough that he would have been offered them), only gear. I never saw him more excited than we we signed the Nike / Jumpman deal. He said that it would make a big difference with certain recruits.
Not really sure where I was going with this.

I always want the highest ranked class possible, but I think maybe the lower ranked (but still talented) players bring a work ethic that some of the top players may not have.
Imagine the ego's in a locker room full of 5* players. Everyone assuming they're going to the NFL and caring mostly about themselves instead of the team.
Maybe I'm talking out of my ass, but I think there's value in having some guys on the team with something to prove.

My kingdom for reddit-style commenting where you're notified when someone responds to your post or comment. Another lost feature that makes it difficult to keep track of conversations is the "(new)" tag on posts you hadn't seen before.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:47 AM ^
Exactly this. Reddit is the perfect forum structure, hell we could start an MgoBlog subreddit, link it to where the board is, and then just use that.
November 1st, 2018 at 12:23 PM ^
I disagree. That is still indented replies, which is a horrible design. Quote replies are far better. It's so much easier to see what people are replying to.

You're still objectively, ridiculously wrong about this. Not going to rehash the argument but can't let this stand unopposed.
November 1st, 2018 at 12:17 PM ^
Yep! I had mine set at 300, too. I'd like that now, but since 100 is the highest option, I use that, but hate that it doesn't save. It seems like a simple thing to fix.

One thing?
Dude i could wax poetic for an hour on all the stuff thats gone and apparently is broken forever since the way, way cool Huel "upgrade" that, by the way, apparently WAS designed by my cousin.
In case anybody was wondering the last update by Seth on the status of the bug-fix repairs was August 23rd. This is it for the foreseeable future im afraid.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:48 AM ^
HUEL might as well be scam artists. The blog is just too proud to admit they got absolutely swindled.

It's like when my buddy's Samsung washer took a shit 3 weeks after buying it. He was beating shirts against a rock for weeks while dealing with someone in Zanzibar not helping him get it fixed.

It's football season, man. I'll tell you what, would you rather have football content or development updates?
I'll stay on the line and wait for your whining response because that's about all you ever give around here lately.
You are clearly old as Noah so I guess it's to be expected. I'll bet you say get off my lawn first thing in the morning.... but good LORD give the complaining a rest!
You don't like the site. We've heard.
November 1st, 2018 at 11:16 AM ^
Lets take a vote shall we? All those that love the new site and all the exciting new features it brings upvote your post and all those who would prefer the horrible old site downvote it.
November 1st, 2018 at 11:26 AM ^
Are you enjoying your career at HUEL?
November 1st, 2018 at 1:43 PM ^
I would be more than happy as a business analyst to work for HUEL or many other companies like them.
Your comments discount how much of the technical work is actually handled by the MgoTeam. Brian is legit coding to make this shit work. Also, writing 3000-word tomes to educate you guys about the intricacies of Michigan football.
It's cool. I get it. Maybe you guys don't know about how tech projects work, the number of hours that go into making these things happen, how you compromise to get things over the line and in a usable state, how difficult it can be to upgrade databases, and to do all that on a budget.
Do you come here for the upvotes or the content, is what I'm getting at. B/c you bitch about it like it's for the upvotes. And that IMO is just stupid.
November 1st, 2018 at 12:00 PM ^
Why not both? HUEL isn't writing Neck Sharpies or doing the UFRs.
November 1st, 2018 at 11:48 AM ^
"HUEL" is a pretty accurate onomatopoeia for the sound my dog makes when he's barfing up a load of grass and wood chips.
This doesn't necessarily represent my views on the site redesign/upgrade.

I could be wrong, but I think the OP wants to know how to look up his/her prior posts. I don't have a clue other than finding a post you have made and clicking on your name.

Actually, no ... I wanted to catch up on Space Coyote.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:54 AM ^
https://mgoblog.com/users/space-coyote
You can replace "space-coyote" with another user name, but it's not always super intuitive. For example, mine is "maizer-0" because the URL removes common words like "the" and there is another user whose name shortens to "maizer", so mine has a "-0" appended.
November 1st, 2018 at 10:06 AM ^
The way it should be is that clicking your username at the top right of the page, above where your points total and create diary/post to board buttons are, should take you to a control panel that includes your posting history, favorites, etc. Not just account settings like avatar, password, and something called a personal contact form which I don't actually think is a thing.
Maybe part of the problem is how they are tagged/coded (or whatever the right term for it is). The current account settings page keys off a user number, while post history keys off user name. They should, at the very least, provide a link to your own posting history under your account settings.
November 1st, 2018 at 10:59 AM ^
To see my own posts, I type "mgoblog.com" in the address bar and add the forward slash. Then I see a dropdown menu and my user page is one of the options. I guess we all have to find these little work-arounds.
Another frustrating issue: when you click on a comment that you've made in order to see the replies or the ongoing conversation, but it is more than 50 posts into a thread and you just end up on the first page of the thread, not the specific comment. To be fair, I think that was a problem with the old site as well, but still annoying.
November 1st, 2018 at 8:52 AM ^
Google the user name + mgoblog and click his name. That’s it.
November 1st, 2018 at 9:55 AM ^
No you're wrong. This is WAY WAY better than that old crappy site-you're just not cool enough to see it.
Serious question for any programmer here. What in the living FUCK do you guys have with white space? Vanguard just completed a site "upgrade" as shitty as this one and again, white space galore and it's impossible to find anything.
END USERS BE DAMNED. WE IT PROGRAMMERS WANT WHITE SPACE...LOTS AND LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL WHITE SPACE...AND WE COULD CARE LESS IF THE PROLETARIAT LIKES IT OR NOT.

November 1st, 2018 at 10:47 AM ^
The fact that the point system was briefly restored twice makes the issue quite mysterious.

Related to this request, one of the most frustrating things about the new site is the inability to effectively link to a past post. Sometimes, if I'm in a back-and-forth discussion about something, I'll want to link to my last post on it from my user page to see if there has been another reply. But if my last post isn't on the first page of comments under that article, that will just link me to the first page, leaving me to scroll through the pages of comments searching for my discussion thread.
