About to test on my daughters old iPad which has more cracks in the screen than our forward line. Too soon?

Software version 14.8.1. The current software version on new iPads are 18.4.

Will report back.

You cannot post on that software version. Same issues others have raised. Going to see if I can update to the later version of software on that iPad.

It will update software to 18.3.2.

This is an iPad purchased in late 2018. It at least got to see a flag before being decommissioned.

This new site is great.

All I ask is we bring back the thinking emoji reply.

And possibly something that's detracting but less in your face like the vomit symbol for the more sensitive folk here.

So yea somthing between that and the " what you talking about Willis,' vibe perhaps.

Hopefully you're not rushing the iPad into anything too demanding since its 'injuries' and it's had plenty of time to 'recharge'.

As far as I can tell there is only the light and dark themes. Theoretically the light theme could be made neutral but to be honest for me the "branding" aspect is more important to me than you getting away with not working while you're at your job. 😜

What about the web traffic element Andy? You want as much of that as possible at all times right?🤪

Is there a different layout for phones available or is it just the one layout available?

Looks awesome in Red & Blue 😎

Website optimisation for all devices is a very very difficult project.

This. Almost impossible. I've tried my best with what I have and my own limitations.

Got it thanks.

Is there the option still there to make the colours neutral. You know, like for SFW purposes?

Think that option made it white and green before.

Makes it harder to slack off now.

It's a bit like podcasting and trying to get the mix sounding right on all systems.

Testing out on every speaker known to man - Phone, home stereo, bluetooth speaker, buds, over-ear headphones, bluetooth shower speaker, car stereo etc

You can only test so much. Best bet is usually to make sure it works on the most commonly used stuff.

Finally my old 2015 iPad fired up. iOS 12.4.1 yikes. That really didn't work. The website displayed all funky. It says it will only update to iOS 17 but the Download and Install button is greyed out and I don't think it will update. End of Life product indeed.

Folks if you have a much older device that won't update past a certain point then the website will not work on it. End of story. It's likely that other apps like Netflix and streaming services and apps that require a certain level of security etc like banking apps will not work either. This is a fact of digital life. My apologies.

You would be sorely mistaken if you thought my job entailed sitting at a desk being on DL on the sly all day.

I actually want it for home. I've often been told I have a problem..

Okay so updating a 2018 iPad that did not work on iOS version 14.8.1 to iOS version 18.3.2 worked and I was able to post.

As suspected it's a phone/tablet software issue. I don't know what specific version of software will work but if your Apple device (not sure about other brands) will update to iOS 18 then you should be good.

It is likely that if your Apple device won't provide you with an update at least to 16 or perhaps 17 then it is too old and will unfortunately won't work with this website. My apologies.

That is the case. I'm surprised it let you. The notes on the software update were very clear on this point. It used to be a setting on the backend to force either or. Now it is strictly just email address. I have accidentally tried to login with my username as I've been testing things as me and testing the site as a guest and the login fails with the username.

interesting. so, i logged off and used the autosignon process and now it doesn't work. changed username to email addr and it worked.

so i don't know why it worked first thing this morning. i suspect cacheing or cookies. when i powered down last night i left the demonland tab active displaying the warning upgrade in process. when i booted up this morning chrome is set to restore tabs. i would expect it to display the same warning panel on the tab, but it came up as logged on. anyway it's all history now.

Going forward someone won't be able to try to guess your password unless they know your email address.

Great work Demonland looks fantastic!

The new look is great. Dark mode is awesome!

Like @daisycutter I didn't need to login. I went straight into the Forum and everything went smoothly from there.

I use a PC with Firefox.

I haven't tried to log out - just in case it gets all fussy and won't let me back in 😉

Thanks precious stone Jim . ( By the way, I've always been meaning to ask if you are related to our non shellfish eating friend Joe?).

It's in memory of the famous Diamond Jim Tilbrook.

DJ crossed from the SAFL in 1971 where he was an absolute star to MFC. He was the subject of the highest transfer fee to that time.

It was supposed to herald the return of the pre 1964 dynasty but we all know what happened.

Lou Richards called him Topaz Tilly

Background is black instead of white. Very useful to read in the dark.

I figured as much but really many to ask how to activate it. I hit a few buttons.

Damn fat fingers.

Dark mode turns the background from white to Navy Blue. It looks great against the Red! Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and you'll see a little crescent moon. Click on that and you turn on Dark Mode.

Oh yea. Found it. Looks great.
