Who was it ? TS ?

Restrictions imposed by the mods prevent me from giving his name.

I was just going to list 'Jack' as my favourite players given that covers about half our team.

BTW I can seem similarities between Sam Blease and that bloke wot has gone to Rooty Hill, so I hope after a couple of rounds next year I'll be adding him to my favs.

Edit post doesn't appear to work in IE8, when I click the Save Changes button nothing happens, same when I click the Use Full Editor button.

I'm surprised it doesn't work in IE8. I'll check when I back at work tomorrow. Might I suggest you take this opportunity to switch to Firefox or Google Chrome. Much better and safer browsers.

Edit - I just edited this post using IE8

I just logged into my work computer and the site doesn't look as smooth on IE8 or Windows for that matter than it does on a Mac. Even in Chrome and Firefox on Windows it is not as pretty. It looks very smooth on my iMac.

Moral of the story .... get a Mac. :P

i must remember to speak to the boss about that. :)

One thing that is quite good is the 'bolding' of the topic name when a new post has been entered since the last time you were in there. Very clever.

You will find little things like that will make your browsing experience better over time.

Just a reminder that if you want to be taken to the first new post since your last visit then click the little circle or star on the letter side of the topic name in the forum topic index list. Saves time scrolling down to it.

Hi Andy,

One thing that has me a bit confused (as to whether it is my end or server-side) is the post dates. I have my profile set up as Melb Time (even though Hobart based) which is +10 hrs but the time on all the posts is an hour ahead of actual time. For instance your post above says Posted Today, 12:57pm.

I tried toggling DLS mode below it to see if it would trigger anything, but doesn't appear to have.... Am I missing something?

Cheers, and I agree the new site looks great. Have done quite a bit of forum/message board development in the past and upgrades are never as smooth as they claim it to be, especially something this size.

My time is displaying correctly. I have +10 selected without any of the DST clicked.

There seems to be a forum settings section misssing. Posts displayed per page, show/don't sigs/avatars, etc.

Is it a matter of 'it's on the list', or, 'working as intended' ?

Were you able to do this before? I know i can set it in the admin settings but can individual users do it customise their preferences. I know i can do it on other forums but not sure if we were ever able to do it here. Let me know and i will look into it.

oh..and an also

At the bottom of each forum there used to be an opportunity via a drop down choice to go to this forum of that etc. . Now none exists andn you have to scrol lback to top of page and select forums and then the other forum of choice. :mellow: ( now that would have been a sad face except none can be chosen..lol )

Good work Andy. Like the new skin. The editor works well. I had to upload my avatar again, but no big drama.

I actually prefer 'plain' emoticons rather than the demon ones. Maybe it's just my preference for commonality with other sites and lack of clutter.

If we are down to arguing about the shade of red or pink, then not much is wrong with the rest of it. ^_^

Good afternoon Andy.

Now mate you are pulling my chain right?

The red is the same red the MFC used in the jumper.

It looks pink!!!

Can we have the previous red colour back please?

No!

That was fluro red.

That is not the colour we wear.

Computer screen red and red are two different colours.

Now I know this wil lbe laughed at but I reckon the red on the MFC is actually a bit too crimson ( and I reckon it is also on the emblem)

but hey its not end of world stuff

as Maurie highlights....there are but 10's of thousands of reds.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
