Welcome to the New-Look Demonland!

You may have noticed that Demonland has undergone a bit of a makeover. We’ve freshened things up with a new look and feel, but rest assured — the heart and soul of the site remain the same.

This thread is your go-to place for reporting any bugs, glitches, or issues you encounter while navigating the updated site. Please let us know if something isn’t working as it should so we can sort it out as quickly as possible.

Just a quick note: difficulty adjusting to change isn’t a bug — we get it, new things can feel a bit strange at first. Give it a little time, and we’re confident you’ll feel right at home.

Trouble Logging In?

As mentioned prior to the upgrade, you now need to log in using your email address, not your old username.
If you're running into login issues, please follow these steps:

  1. Try the "Forgot Password" tool if you still have access to your original email address.

  2. If you're still stuck, use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page and we'll help you out.

What’s Changed?

Apart from the updated visual design, most of the features and functionality you’re familiar with remain unchanged. It’s the same Demonland you know and love — just with a modern facelift.

We’ve also added Dark Mode! If that’s more your style, you can toggle it on by clicking the Moon icon at the bottom of the page.

Help Us Iron Out the Kinks

While we’ve done our best to test everything, there may still be a few gremlins lurking. If you spot anything broken or behaving oddly, please report it here. We'll continue to tweak and fine-tune the design over the coming days.

Thanks for your patience and support — and enjoy the new Demonland experience!

A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO @Nasher for persisting with the upgrade and finding the solution. We nearly had another failed upgrade. We were 19 points down in the 3rd quarter and he went BANG! BANG BANG BANG!!!

    To report or edit a post, simply click the three dots located to the right of the poster’s name.

    Previously, the Report and Edit "buttons" were positioned beneath the post itself. That layout was moved to the three dots a long time ago in a previous update but I was able to reinstate it to below the post using a third-party tweak to the website code.

    Unfortunately, when we upgraded to the new platform, those custom tweaks—along with a few others I had made over the years—were removed, as expected. I’ll look into reinstating them if possible, but for now, you’ll need to get used to the new location of these functions.

    If you notice anything else that seems missing, has moved, or if you're having trouble finding a feature you previously used, feel free to post in this thread. I’ll either investigate or point you in the right direction.

    Does our forward line count?

    In all seriousness, love the new look. Well done to all involved!

    Yay for the upgrade, well done Andy and Nasher. Dark mode is very pretty - navy and red.

    👏💪🏻 👏🏻Excellent work Andy @Demonland and @Nasher

    I've 'road tested' a few features I often use and they work as usual or are better!!! In particular:

    • Love the GIF's :

      Happy I Love You GIF

    • Really like that the text of a quoted post is in red so easy to separate from the comment

    • Having the Menu down the side makes it so much easier to navigate the site. (I couldn't work out what the 'Threads' menu option was about? No biggie, just curious)

    Thank you.

    ps I noticed the colour of the emoji's changed ... again no biggie

    btw, I couldn't find who is currently reading/writing in a thread which had been at the bottom of the thread. Is it somewhere else?

    Add ons like that are usually 3rd party installations which were ask removed in the upgrade which I knew was going to happen.

    I remember reading somewhere in the software manufacturers forum that widgets (that’s what they’re called) like that are very resource heavy pulling data and can slow the site down.

    Threads is Facebook/Instagram/Meta’s version of Twitter. I don’t really use it anymore so that link may disappear at some point.

    Everything looks pretty schmick. Did we lose bolded title threads when not read and normal text when you have read them? Same with notifications?

    The app is much more mobile friendly. Massive improvement.

    Edit: never mind, looks to be working.

    The bolded or unbolded topic titles depending on whether you’ve read the thread is still a feature. You have to be logged in though which is the same as in the past.

    On the homepage there is a slight delay but it’s only a few minutes.

    I love it. Feels like day 1 of Colonial Stadium in 2000!

    Are we still able to choose background themes? Is there a dark mode?

    Everything has gone vertical. Freaking me out.

    I'm going to make one practical suggestion, which I understand might be an absolute shirt-sew to adjust, but having a slightly wider text space in the threads would reduce scrolling a bit. If the centre panel can be widened just a little, or maybe the profile images in posts adjusted so there isn't as much blank space along the left side.

    But these are quibbles and tweaks.

    I thought it was a nice update. It was a nice update, I thought. I bet it looks super snazzy on mobile.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
