Demonland

Several users have reported issues when trying to post from their iPads. However, I haven't yet received specific details regarding the age of their iPads or whether they are running the latest software updates. Older iPads often stop receiving software updates from Apple, which classifies them as 'end of life.' Consequently, these older devices and outdated software versions may encounter compatibility problems not only with this site but also with other websites and applications. Unfortunately, resolving these compatibility issues is beyond my control.

Unfortunately this is not possible but thank you anyway.

I would say it is 100% related to it being an old ipad. Particularly if the ipad no longer receives regular updates if at all. I have no idea what the minimum update requirement would be as this is just a hunch on my part that that is what is the issue.

The majority of the changes are cosmetic and under the hood improvements. Basic functionality including the profanity filter remain. Please don't test it or try to circumvent it. The functionality of banning has not changed. If anything the frustration with the upgrade issues and losing sleep last night getting the look and feel of the site ready for today has made me even grumpier. Don't test the limits of this mod.

Certain words in and of themselves might not seem offensive. But when you call someone an [censored] they certainly get offended and that is what we are avoiding. Can't we all just [censored] get along.

@Flemo56 It worked fine when I tried it on my colleague's iPad. If it's not working for you, the reason might be because your iPad or its internet browser (usually Safari) is older or hasn't been updated in a long time. Websites often use newer technology that older devices or browsers can't properly understand. Try checking if your iPad has any software updates available, and install them if it does. After updating, check again to see if the website works.

Test from an iPad

I will have to check my ipad when I get home. Haven't done any testing on that device. Assume you are logged in on the iPad? I won't make the obvious joke based on the image about turning the iPad right side up.

That's the way the new software handles the logos. I guess screen realestate is a premium. Most of the tutorials about the software had small logos rather than big banners. It doesn't phase me.

No but I lost about 3 extra hours of sleep last night getting the site ready.

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. 😜

It's on the to do list. The old chat room was a third party app that was always going to be nuked in the upgrade as the coding has slighty changed and there would be incompatibilities. I have to wait for a viable solution. There may already be one available I just have had other aspects of the site that I needed to get working for launch.

Are you using a PC? How compact is your browsing window?

Check the bottom of the page. There is a moon icon for dark theme and a light bulb icon for the light theme. The default is the light theme because I didn't want to scare anyone.

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.

Right at the bottom of the page there is a moon icon. Click that.

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

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.

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.

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

Probably a good idea that the site was upgrading whilst the Bombers got their first win of the season.

The pressure is on for Melbourne to win its match up this week against the Gold Coast Suns who, by virtue a combination of the AFL’s weird fixturing and a tropical non-cyclone named Alfred are one of five of the competition’s undefeated teams. Strangely enough, despite their impressive percentage of 277.6 they are only sixth on the ladder, their only game being a Round 1 virtual walkover against the West Coast Eagles in Perth which basically, was a training run against witches’ hats. Melbourne itself performed that same Eagles role in the final quarter of last Sunday’s game against North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium when it capitulated to the speed and run of a young up and coming team which controlled the middle and was high on confidence against a team which ran out of puff and could do almost nothing right in those final thirty minutes. The were some extenuating circumstances that have been discussed extensively but there will be no excuses this week. Despite evidence to the contrary from Hawthorn’s run into last year’s finals after a 0-5 start, a loss on Saturday to the Suns at home would be a disaster and unacceptable. A failure on the part of the coaching panel to address the forward line’s shortcomings against the Kangaroos would be unforgiveable and unacceptable. A show of team love that also involves fumbling, poor decision-making, and a lack of awareness about what your opponents are doing, whether in defence or in attack, would be a cop out and unacceptable. Taking the opposition for granted would also be unacceptable. Playing Jekyll and Hyde football from week to week would be an insult to us all and unacceptable. The only thing that supporters would find acceptable is 100% effort and no excuses that should in any event, be kept “in house”. The club should therefore be desperate to turn things around and gain some momentum before the return in the next round of quicker players like Kozzy Pickett and Caleb Windsor who were both sorely missed during last week’s final term rampage at Marvel Stadium. They face the Suns who are a strong side at the stoppages but were well and truly exposed in that department when they met at People First Stadium only seven or so months ago. This time around, the Demons have a handy pair to add to that mix – Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca although the latter might also be needed to provide some forward power as well. The redeeming feature for the club stemming from the fact that the Suns have only played one game in a non-pressure cooker environment is that they might be coming into the game a trifle underdone. That might also have been the determining factor in the Demons’ defeat at the hands of the Giants a fortnight ago when they lost to a last minute goal after seemingly having the game in hand for most of the last half. All eyes will be on skipper Max Gawn who has had to shoulder a great deal of unnecessary attention after the rare occurrence of lowering his colours for the first time in living memory in the final quarter last week (i.e. two less hit outs and fewer handballs than Xerri but still a decent effort in the circumstances). That isn’t likely to happen again but for heaven’s sake, let’s give him some decent support! Melbourne has established a winning streak of 12 consecutive games against the Gold Coast Suns stretching back to April 2014 when they won by eight points at the MCG. In the interim, the teams have only played three games at that venue, the last time being in August 2018. If we were to rely on history, the Demons could already claim the victory but unfortunately, things don’t work that way. However, I do know that in their last meeting at the Suns’ headquarters, they smashed the home team who were strongly favoured to win and therefore, I’m going for the underdogs to withstand the pressure of the past week and to win by 25 points. THE GAME Melbourne vs Gold Coast Suns at the MCG Saturday 29 March 2025 at 1.20pm HEAD TO HEAD Overall - Melbourne 15 wins Gold Coast Suns 3 wins At the MCG - Melbourne 5 wins Gold Coast Suns 2 wins Past five matches - Melbourne 5 wins Gold Coast Suns 0 wins The Coaches - Goodwin 1 win Hardwick 0 wins THE LAST TIME THEY MET Melbourne 18.9.117 defeated Gold Coast Suns 9.9.63 at People First Stadium, Round 23 2024 A weakened Melbourne team, despondent after four defeats in a row, travelled north to a place where no team from out of the state had conquered the Suns during the season and despite the fact that they were on the nose form wise and many of their stars were out, the Demons were far too composed for a disjointed home side and won by nine goals with Jack Viney and Ed Langdon starring and the young tall key forwards finding some connection with the dominant midfielders who kept them well fed all game long.
