Thank you totallybogus, the greaterwrong site is exactly what I was looking for. It might be a good idea to have this site linked somewhere from profile pages so users can see how to reach these archives.

Habryka, the load more option does not provide any practical way of getting to stuff older than a few dozen posts, and does not have any way to get a link to a given range of posts to allow you to return without again trying to load the entire history a few posts at a time through the load more option. It would be a very nice addition to either provide a way to search by date range, or a link to the greaterwrong site that does provide easy access to older posts.

Personally, I think the greaterwrong site (or rather, something functionally equivalent to it) should be the main or only way LW2 is accessed via the web. The technical solutions found in Lesser Wrong (including Meteor and Vulcan) may be appropriate in an actual PWA (Progressive Web App, basically a bunch of JS and 'style/formatting templates' that get installed on your device/computer as a proper, well-defined application and then interact with the remote site via a web-based API of some sort) but they have no advantages to speak of in a traditional website.

Hit a broken link: https://www.lesswrong.com/user/Eliezer_Yudkowsky/submitted/?count=117&before=t3_17j. This is from a page of chronological post history, clicking on the "Prev" link at http://lesswrong.com/user/Eliezer_Yudkowsky/submitted/?count=128&before=t3_14r.

It also appears that there is no way on the new site to browse chronological post history by a specific author. If LessWrong no longer supports this, is there any alternate site for accessing Eliezer's historical posts, or is everything that is not part of a sequence lost... (read more)

Did you try https://www.greaterwrong.com/users/eliezer_yudkowsky?show=posts ? I mean, I'm not sure how reliable the whole "import" deal is, but the bulk of LW1 content was actually preserved quite nicely.
