Hi Guys,

We've upgrade the forum software which was well overdue. Please be patient whilst we work out all the new settings behind the scenes and come up with a suitable look and feel. Anyway enjoy.

Cheers,

Andy

I like it. Could use some more red and blue, but generally it's clean and easy to navigate.

Now. Just have to figure out how to quote individual sections of text within a post.

Looks great. Everythings a lot clearer and just in time for the new season.

I like the 'vote this post up/down' feature. Hopefully this will save a few pointless posts even if it doesn't seem to be working at this stage.

When you've worked it out can you let me know?? I couldn't do it on the old site so I'll never work it out here!!

Good job Andy (and Nasher?), fantastic effort.

It looks great guys, well done!

Fan, I used to just click reply and then delete whatever text wasn't relevant to my reply

Whoa...

Whoa...

Gotta get my head around all this.

It does look somewhat cleaner, which is nice.

Yep nice!

Had to refresh pages a couple of times due to that 'Port 80 Service temp.. screen', but besides that no dramas and looks very pro!

Nothing to do with me this time. I did a trial run of the upgrade when we moved to the new server, and it seemed to work, but I found that the new software locked my account out for some reason, so I rolled it back. Then Andy did the upgrade anyway and it locked my account out again!! Luckily this time I figured out a way around it :-)

Yep..very clean and smart

Now. Just have to figure out how to quote individual sections of text within a post.

just the same as before.. start by 'replying' to the post. You'll then see there is a start to the quoting which reads 'quote name=' it starts and ends with [ and ] then at end of quote there is '/quote' again in [ ]

you just need to prefix and suffix any segment of a quote you want to use in this manner

( hopefully that made some sort of sense ....n.b if i tried to show you it would return a syntax error..lol )

Thanks all. There are still a few tweaks here and there that we need to make but I can assure you that any changes we have made are for the best.

Please let me know of any bugs or glitches that you notice.

If you are using an iPhone or another mobile device and you get the following screen:

photo.jpg

Click that link to get the message board as you see it on a computer.

For some reason it detects that the site is being view on a mobile and displays like that. I'm not sure if you can manually change that setting. Maybe Nasher can take a look. It seems that once you click that link it displays the forums as normal on a mobile device.

Quite happy with upgrade and layout but agree some more red and blue graphics would be nice! Easy to navigate around and fresher in appearance. Well done.

So pretty much the same as last time. That's good.

Not sure where people want more Red and Blue and how this is much different from the old forum colours.

Red and blue on the text part of the forum looks a bit tacky and can be hard to read. I think this looks cleaner.

Happy for more suggestions though. Keep em coming.

Agree, it looks cleaner and has a good feel to it. Will get used to it soon enough. Well done Andy.

I am having to refresh now and again to get various pages up. They come up after a temp unavailable page. Thought I'd mention it.

With one line posts creating such a large imprint (for completed profiles), as you scroll through a thread there is very little red and blue.

i too am having this issue and I believe it is an issue with our host provider. I have logged the issue with them and hopefully it will get sorted out ASAP. This never happened with Nasher but that's what you get when you actually pay for a service. Go figure. :rolleyes: Just keep hitting refresh. You will get there.

Please log any other issues that arise here.

I will try to sort that issue out as it's trying to make the site easier to view on a mobile device but the iPhone is so good that it doesn't need the page to be "dumbed" down.

is it possible to tone down the WHITE BACKGROUND. it is hard to read fine print, and also is tiring on the eyes after a whille.

otherwise you are doing a top job thanks Matt

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
