    @Demonland

    Is the Site update the reason some historical pages of a poster have dropped off.  I've looked at mine, Andy, WJ, binman and Redleg and the last page is years after they joined and doesn't match the number of posts on their profiles.  Last time I looked at all pages/posts were there from year dot.

    Also, the number of posts against a user's name on their thread posts is grossly inflated - number of posts on their profiles look right.

    A major software update is coming, which will require all users to log in using their registered email address instead of their username whenever they are logged out. This is simply a login requirement—your email address will remain private. Once you're logged in, you won’t need to log in again unless you log out or access the site from a new device.

    This change appears to be a security measure, but it is a software update and not something I’ve personally chosen.

    Most website functions will remain the same, though there will be some cosmetic updates. Initially, all customizations (such as colors) will revert to the default look, but I’ll gradually restore them over time.

    Additionally, some third-party add-ons I’ve implemented over the years will no longer work immediately after the update. The site will essentially start fresh in that regard, and I’ll reintroduce features as I go.

    The most important thing is that all content will still be there and you will be able to post as normal which is the main feature of the site. All the rest is just cosmetic which I will play around with once the new software is installed.

    This upgrade is necessary because the current software is no longer supported, and it may bring improvements down the line.

    To ensure a smooth transition, please make sure your email address is up to date—this is important in case you ever need to recover your account.

    This might be due to the fact that I had to archive historical posts older than 7–8 years, as the database file had become too large and difficult to manage.

    Many of you have likely noticed ongoing site stability issues—lagging and slow loading times occurring at random, rather than during peak traffic as we used to experience after games in the past when the website would get slammed.

    I'm currently trying to get in touch with @Nasher for assistance in resolving these issues, but I haven’t had any luck so far.

    It's possible that the upcoming software update will help, as some third-party apps installed over the years may be contributing to the problem. Hopefully, the update will address these underlying issues.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
