    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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
