URGENT ATTENTION: New Software Will Necessitate New Login Requirement

A major software update to the website is coming

This software update 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.

Going forward any time that you have to log in to Demonland you will have to use the email address that is registered to Demonland to log in rather than using your Username which has been the way you have logged in in the past.

This change appears to be a security measure as part of the new major 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 and the look and feel of the site) will revert to the default look, but I’ll gradually restore most of them 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.

To be clear all the past posting history will remain the website might just look and feel slightly different but basic functionality of the message board format will remain.

This upgrade is necessary because the current software will no longer be supported and the new software may bring some other improvements and features over time.

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.

When updating your email address in your profile you will probably be required to validate your new email address. If a validation email does not arrive in your inbox then please check your junk folder as it might have ended up there. If the email is not in your junk folder then please contact me and I will manually change it for you.

Please attempt to change it yourself before messaging me to assist.

I don't have a timeframe for the installation of the new software as I am waiting to hear back from @Nasher to assist me in this process as the initial installation isn't just a software update like on your phone. It requires the technical magic that only @Nasher can provide. Future incremental updates will be easier.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we enter the 25th year of Demonland.

    If you are logged in, from the menu (top right 3-line icon on a phone, go to "Account", then select "Account Settings". You'll see an option to change your email. The validation email is sent to the new address so you don't need to access your old address.

    This is a good time to thank Andy, Nasher and everyone else who makes this site run so smoothly.

    I couldn’t agree more LDC.  It’s far too easy to take this wonderful site for granted, and to ignore the enormous effort that it takes by a plethora of people, to keep it up and going.  As an interstate member, Demonland is my lifeline to the real world of the MFC and the AFL.

    Thanks Andy (and Nasher, et al) for keeping this site up and running for all this time. I recently did an online survey that asked me if I was still a member of any non-Reddit/social media/Facebook forum (you know, the kind everyone was a part of back in the good old days before the internet took a turn for the worse). I was proud to answer "YES!" thanks to this site.

    For those wanting to check their profile to confirm their email is right, you should be able to follow this link to make the required change:

    Well time since they first posted.....not their age.

    Thanks for helping me stay ( somewhat) sane.

    Still waiting to hear back from @Nasher. I haven't heard back from him through any of the lines of communication that I have with him. I hope everything is ok.

    This October will also be 20 years on the Invision platform too. Or more to the point, 20 years since my 21 year old self, 6 months in to an IT career, somehow convinced you and Finks that I knew what I was talking about enough to set up and run a system like this one.

    It’s been a journey!

    • 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?

      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?
