just a thought...as it appears , the new front page shows thre collumns..all fine.. showing the ranked threads...all fine.. However the link goes to the first post... Any chance of including a link to the last post. This is much better when your trying to follow things. You can always scroll back a few posts but its cumbersome when having to start at post 1 , especially on a phone.

just a thought :)

    sorry. Nothing I can do about that. I tried to do that but the software didn't allow it.

    Actually it can technically be done but I don't like the way that it outputs.

    In order to display the recent post and hence once clicked on it goes to the most recent post it displays like this:

    Recent01.jpg

    The way it currently is it displays the most recent topics that posts have been made in like this:

    Recent02.jpg

    There is no way to make it display the most recent posts (and display that topic only once) and be able to click on it and take you to either the most recent post or the most recent post since your last visit.

    bugger !!! thanks for the effort of investigating...If I was a betting man Id think this will be one of those things that will irk and warrant a look at from time to time as possible updates arrive...unless the code simply doesnt support it in th emanner we'd like.

    That's the frustrating thing. There is a way to do it, I just don't know how and don't have enough expertise to work it out. I'll keep trying though.

    I worked it out and it was by accident! :blink:

    Now the question is .... What do people prefer?

    Homepage recent forum posts links:

    A. Link takes you to the first post in the thread

    B. Link takes you to the last post in the thread (ie: most recent)

    Either way you might need to scroll up or down or navigate to another page to see the last post you read - (And before you ask I'm looking into that but that is a whole new can of worms)

    I think it's going to be a case of the regulars wanting the most recent posts and the newbies or not so regulars reading topics from beginning to end rather than linking straight to end.

    I might need to start a new poll on this.

    Personally, I find that little tab next to the thread in the forum index that links to the last postin a thread is fine.

    I actually think i just worked it out.

    Theoretically when you click on a thread from the homepage (if you are logged in) it will take you to the first new post since your last visit. Not sure if that includes whether you have visited that thread or not. That is if you've never been in a particular thread but it has been around for a few times that you have been logged in and then you visit that thread for the first time I'm not sure whether you will go to the newest post since your last visit or the newest post that you have seen (in the case of a first viewing you will be taken to the first post of the thread). Confusing I know but I won't be able to tell until more people other than myself post and it is 1:00am and there are not many people around at this time. Tomorrow morning I will know more so bear with me.

    Anyway, if you are not logged in and you click on a thread on the homepage your computers cache should remember that you have visited this thread on this computer and should take you to the newest post since you were last at the site. More confusion but it makes sense to me. Ah technology.

    Not sure how this all work across different computers and devices that you are visiting Demonland with.

    I'll keep you posted and go back to rambling and talking to myself.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
