I really like the new look on the iPhone - much cleaner.

Thanks for all the work you do @Demonland to keep the site up and running, as well as running the podcast. I’m not sure of the costs involved in doing all this, but is there a Donate button, so that those that wish to can chuck in a dollar or two from time to time?

Thank you. The cleaner look is the software. I just clicked a button to install it.

You can donate here if you like: https://demonland.com/clients/donations/

If you want to remove the advertising then you might want to look into a Demonland Subscription: https://demonland.com/subscriptions/

Love that I'm not accidentally clicking on the podcast as I'm scrolling down now :). Appreciate the work you put in mate

I couldn't sleep properly the other night so was scrolling through demonland. Don't think my wife appreciated the demonland podcast accidentally blaring out at full volume at 2am!

A very brutal screen with far too much dominance of the various updates on the right of the screen which IIRC were at the bottom of the page.

Good luck but sorry don't like it.

 

 

Looking a lot better this morning. Last night the right hand highlights section was taking up almost half my screen.

Now it looks back to normal size.

Thanks

Much appreciate all the work you do in maintaining this forum @Demonland so definitely no complaints. 

But one tiny point. The notifications alerts now include reactions from other posters rather than just quotes. 

Understand that it's fairly standard practice but these alerts are designed to drive addictive behaviour. 

Haven't watched The Social Dilemma yet but reading up on the subject always makes me feel highly uneasy. 

Anyway, maybe it's something minor to consider from an ethical perspective if you have the ability to alter.

I also respect that you have a business to run in a highly competitive advertising environment. 

(Please note - removing the reaction alert is just my personal navigational preference - other posters may love it).

I'll check and see if this is a global setting but it could also be a setting within your own profile.

I didn't change anything in regards to that it must be a new forced feature.

There is bound to be an off switch for that either in the forums settings or your own notification settings.

Great work Andy, just flicked another $50 your way, it’s been noticeable how the standard MFCSS meltdowns haven’t crushed the servers!

never a bad time to remind people that there is a donate button

Thank you very much. It really is very much appreciated especially during these times.

We fixed those server issues a about a month to 6 weeks ago. Last week post game really tested it. People were not happy.

All these changes cost money, so another couple of pineapples donated to keep this great site running.

Thanks for all the work.

I'm not seeing an 'Edit' option on my posts. 

I use Firefox if that is of any help.

It's now in the three dots in the top right of your post.

Software changed this. Not sure why. I’ll get used to it eventually.

A trivial question:  How should we interpret the 'Laughing/Ha Ha' reaction icon?

The Old and new software don't credit it as a +1 in the 'Community Reputation'.  I've noticed that most of the time posters use it as a +'ve as they like the humour rather than a -'ve 'ha ha, that is sarcastic' type response.  I'm sure the funny people don't care whether they get credit but should I change to using 'Like' rather than 'Ha Ha' in acknowledging witty posts?

I actually changed that a while ago. The emoticon has a duel purpose; it can be used for acknowledging someone for a witty remark or to denote sarcasm or to laugh at someone for making a foolish remark. 

I didn’t think it was right for someone to gain forum reputation for constantly saying idiotic things. 

I know that sucks for the genuinely funny people.

I'm really invested in this trivial conversation now. Does forum reputation bestow any benefits? Don't we all just assess reputation ourselves and collectively? What is reputation? I would be happy for my snarky laugh responses to hand over a reputation point to a notorious poster if it meant my chuckles awarded others. Wouldn't it even out over time anyway?

I had used the 'Ha Ha' icon for this post but worried you might think I was ridiculing your comments so changed it to 'Like'.?

@Demonland This is a wonderful site, forum and community. The Gameday threads provide a lot of added entertainment and outlet during our games, and I've learned a lot about the tactical and operational sides of the game from the many discussions herein and on the Podcast. 

Thanks for your ongoing work.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
