How do you use the profile history?
founder
slip a dollar in her g-string for me
On a user's profile you can see how many reviews, discussion, comments, etc that a user has posted. I think this is a helpful feature, based on the fact that when I removed it before, there was an uproar.
Can you guys sort of describe how you use it?
For instance, when you are looking at a user's discussion comments, what valuable information is there for you? How does it help?
Thanks

Btw, since we are on this topic, I can't go back to my old club reviews. When I click on the next 30, it brings me to the same first screen in a never-ending loop. I suspect that this is a glitch.
As far as seeing the Comments that someone else made, not sure I would do that. I do like to see the Discussion Topics that other start, the clubs they Review, the Trusts they have. One way seeing the comments would be to call somebody out on something they said long ago. You can look that up by looking thru their profile.
Thanks again for everything.

^ this - whether is to look at old reviews in my own profile or some other PL
Less important, I use it as a search engine to find old reviews, threads or posts. Of mine and other users. It’s sometimes easier than the traditional search.
-Read the user's prior articles or reviews (including to see if user has posted prior reviews before I accuse an apparent club ad).
-Save time in navigating to a discussion thread I know the user posted on if the discussion is buried beyond the first page so I don't have to scroll to it.
-Message the user.
-Look at a female user's selfies.
Some users' threads or articles would be difficult to find without this feature (such as me going back to review farmerart's posts - farmerart preceded my time here and I looked back after ArtsBrother posted his article about farmerart).
Also this feature is helpful find reviews and reviews and review comments of users who post infrequently but give good intel in certain geographic areas - user Scfanatic323 is a good example of this for his LA / COI intel.

One way I use it, is to track discussions I have been interested in after I have not been on the site in a few days. If I have participated in the thread, then I can check my own comments/replies to find the thread I’m interested in. Especially if the thread has gone off topic and I don’t remember the subject of the original post.
Come to think of it, when I am planning road trips I sometimes latch on to a good local reviewer as well and spend time going through his historical reviews and review comments. I did this with a couple of reviewers on my most recent trip to Providence. I would hate to lose the ability to do this.
I also will use it to find an old post with something, maybe a funny comment or nugget of info. I'll remember it was a thread by a user, then look at that persons threads, then find the comment.
I'll use it to go look at my own review history too.
Also, I agree with Rick. I miss having the # of reviews/# of places near a user profile in every review/comment. To me, that's much more worthwhile than the tagline stuff. Or at least worth finding a place to put it somewhere. # of trusts to me is still useless as the last time I looked there were still old "Self props" or repeated props from the same person being counted in that number.
A possible good metric for real trust would be to display on the profile history page how many people subscribe to a user's reviews. Similar to how conventional 'trusts' are displayed.
