Given the tens of hours work that Andy has spent this week on the s/ware upgrade, I reckon it's an opportune time to mention Demonland subscription.

I sent off $40 this morning and I urge fellow Deevotees to get on board and 'put your money where your posts are'.

The link is on the navigation bar below the site banner.

I was going to send you off a personal thank you as I have been doing for all of those who have generously donated to the running and maintaining of this site. Thank you.

Without wanting to harp on it the IPB app is nothing like it was. Don't know if this is anything that you can control but under the old system Demonland was very easy to read and post on from iPhone. Not now which is a shame.

Great work Andy, I reckon the site looks better than ever (pity that Jordie didn't get a go on the banner but I can live with that, storm in a tea cup really....)

I will be introducing a mobile theme in the coming weeks. I just wanted to nail down the web theme first which also looks great on the iPad. The mobile theme should look great on the iPhone. Stay tuned.

Is there anything this man can't do?


Hi Andy .... Am I the only one having difficulty up-loading my new avatar? I just keep getting the message "Failed to set a new photo". Maybe it has more to do with the nut behind the keyboard than it does the new software, but I've never had this problem before. I'm using Chrome

ps. this is a low priority request. You are doing a fantastic job with the upgrade, and I don't want to divert you from more important tasks. Thanks

How big is the image you are trying to upload? Maybe it is too large. Is it just a normal sized avatar image? Perhap you can post the link to the image you want.

Thanks Andy. It's just a normal sized avatar image (the one I used previously), but I still can't get it to work. I'll talk to my far more computer literate (than me) kids before worrying you again.

 

I just uploaded mine again and it worked fine. Once uploaded you can adjust it on the left hand side so that the parts of the image you want in is shown.

Not sure if you got this from last evening Andy as i actually replied to you via Mono who was also asking if it was opossible to condense lines and/or fit them to page width if possible....>>>

"Andy... not wanting to tell you "how to" as i'm only a novice when it comes to CSS and web design, but any possibility you could try a fluid page layout using a percentage (%) or 0 under percentage in the CSS page wrap command? I think that might help the page auto re-size (scale) in almost any browser and screen resolution. One thing i enjoyed on the previous site was that it auto scaled (from memory i think so anyway) so i didn't need to use the bottom scroll bar to read the sentances in each post. They just fitted/scaled into the screen size (res). This might cause other significant issues of course so not expecting any miracles either."

End (thanks for listening lol)

Well that went down a treat :rolleyes:


Sorry about that but I'm juggling work, a 4 week old, a 3 year old, demonland and a life. Really very sorry for ignoring you amongst all that.

To answer your query the board is already set as fluid and not fixed.

Ok... just that the fluid (auto scale/width) aint workin' here as far as i can tell (bottom scroll bar! :rolleyes: )....

I guess it depends on your monitor size and in turn the size of the window you are using to display the page. IPB definitely use a fluid width. Even a fluid with will produce a scroll bar if the window size is small.

ok then i'll do it the manual way, thanks

strange they should update software and go backwards in something like this and the imbedded media one

I have found out why it is. If you want to create a link write what you want linked. In this example I will use the words click here. Write Click Here and highlight it with your mouse. Then click on Insert link icon and the web address pop up will pop up. Write or paste your link in and the words Click Here will appear like this:

Click Here

Yet curiously I couldn't post on the old Demonland from my iPad, but now it's a dream! Love the upgrade!


Worked it out. Click the icon to the left of the Font drop down box.

Select Media or any of the other options and paste the link to You Tube or other video source. Click OK.

Brilliant again Andy, well spotted.................get some sleep :)

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
