In the next few days we will be upgrading the software for the message board. It is quite a big upgrade and is necessary. As part of the upgrade I have to make a choice between members retaining eith

Is it too late to change my display name to HOGANFORPREZ? What a classic, subtle, non descript username

Why would that happen?

I'm not sure it would, but because so many display names have spaces it could happen. Usually with spaces an automatic "%20" gets inserted for things like web addresses, user names etc, could cause problems?

ie - "Deestroy All" would become "Destroy%20All"

It will only affect people who have changed their initial name that they signed up to Demonland with.

For you personally if you signed up as dpositive then your username and display name are the same and you don't need to worry about anything.

Prior to this change if you started as ABC but changed your Display name to XYZ then currently you would be logging in as ABC as that is your Username despite your Display Name being changed to XYZ.

Under the new software everyones Username (the name you log in with) will be replaced by your Display Name (the name everyone on Demonland see above your avatar). In the above example the poster will have to now log in as XYZ to post on Demonland rather than ABC.

If you have never changed your Display Name then it will not effect you as your Username and Display Name were always the same.

I doubt the makers of this software for this forum would [censored] up their users forums like that.

Would be fun to have "username" activated, just for a couple of days, so that we can see who is who. Then flick it back to display name so that we can update our "ignore" list.

I would assume that if you have someone on ignore and then they change their name you would still be ignoring that person despite the name change.

I see in your signature that you were formally astrodee. Is that not the name you use to log in to Demonland?

Nope.

I use my display name. Astrodee (and posts under that name ) sorta disappeared during the tea trolley disaster or whatever caused that crash some time back and we had to re register.

Anyway that's my memory if it. Mind you, my forgettory is far more powerful.

But bugger it, I still remember Harrison and Weideman wrecking 1958 for me. One of the reasons I want to draft his grandson is that perhaps he can make up for his grandfather's thuggery by starring in a flag for us.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
