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!

    👏💪🏻 👏🏻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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
