Demonland

I’m assuming that the posters who are reporting this same issue are hitting the quote button below the post and not the 3 horizontal dots button above the post which is where the new edit feature is. This change is part of the new software. People will get used to it.

On Sunday, the Melbourne Football Club that won three consecutive games by in excess of 50 points last month returns to the Gabba, the scene of the last of those victories which was a 56 point drubbing of Collingwood. The Demons got off to a good start and won every quarter with a ruthless and powerful brand of football. They kicked 16 goals that day, their accuracy in front of goal a tribute to the skills the put on display throughout the afternoon and evening. In the four matches played since then, their average goals scored collapsed to a little over six per game and they have fallen from a strong finals contender to a rank outsider with kicking skills so poor that they have consistently failed to hit the proverbial barn door. The humiliation will continue when their season will effectively end on Saturday evening against the Greater Western Sydney Giants. Indeed, the humiliation began with the words uttered by coach Simon Goodwin this week: "As a club, I think we need to become a much more ruthless club and really grow up and start to perform in these types of games. "We need to start becoming more mature as a club and more unconditional about the way we go about our business." These words are not only starkly obvious in light of two pathetic performances against lowly teams in Sydney and Fremantle that they were expected to beat even in the oppressive conditions in Cairns, but they ring hollow to any Demon fan who can recall the same dictum from former coach Neale Daniher in the mid-2000s when the same ruthlessness call flopped badly time and again and culminated in his mid season dismissal a few years later. In their past two games, the Demons have taken the field as if the games were meaningless dead rubbers instead of the potential season deciders that they were in actuality. Against the Swans but with the aid of the breeze, they conceded the first two goals and were virtually down and out by half time before butchering their comeback opportunity with several misses for goal from close in. Against the Dockers, they recorded a shameful 53% disposal efficiency (c.f 77% v the Magpies) — a figure that reflects a lack of intensity and a sign that the players were switched off, fatigued, couldn’t give a damn or all of the above. There’s no need to go any further. The 2020 agony for Demon fans will end on Saturday night ... in humiliation. GWS Giants by 50 points.

Yep. We have a bad history with foot injuries.

Proposal so that players avoid taking a pay cut.

Can you elaborate? The site doesn't look very different to what it did yesterday.

Thank you very much. It really is very much appreciated especially during these times. We fixed those server issues a about a month to 6 weeks ago. Last week post game really tested it. People were not happy.

I'll check and see if this is a global setting but it could also be a setting within your own profile. I didn't change anything in regards to that it must be a new forced feature. There is bound to be an off switch for that either in the forums settings or your own notification settings.

Thank you. The cleaner look is the software. I just clicked a button to install it. You can donate here if you like: https://demonland.com/clients/donations/ If you want to remove the advertising then you might want to look into a Demonland Subscription: https://demonland.com/subscriptions/

I’ve tried to get the site to look visually the same in terms of colours. I had to revert back to the default skin. There are many little tweaks, not necessarily colour related that are gone and I’m in the process of remembering and finding some things. There I things I know how to change but just need to find the relevant code and where it might now reside within the software. i think there are some new functionality within the software I need to activate. Will get to that soon.

I meant what I said sir.

Not sure I can do this?

Can you point me to an example of the double post error?

I'm still working on it but I don't understand what you're referring to. Are you able to send a screenshot? Are you on mobile or desktop?

I have some fixes still to do with the look and feel because I had to default back to the default "skin" of the forum. The software update didn't play well with the various tweaks I've done to the look of the site over the last few years.

Refresh the page. Has it been fixed?

I still have some tweaking to do but this should fix the issue you were having.

We just did a major update to the site software. Some of the formatting and colours are out of whack and I will attempt to fix all of this in the next day or so. Please bare with me whilst I iron out all the kinks.
