Why Auto / Auto One sometimes doesn't work.

If you're using the current HTML draft room and check either Auto or Auto One, the setting often reverts to being shut of if/when the page refreshes.

To have the setting stay enabled, a good idea is to navigate to another league page using the green menu bar and sub menus or close the browser window altogether.

A lot of NFBC vets already knew this but as we see new signups every day it seemed like a good idea to share the tip again. Over the weekend three of the managers in DC 59 set Auto One before leaving for an extended period only to wind up being On The Clock for hours at a time.

It sounds like the new and improved HTML5 draft room will be ready by the end of February so it's likely a problem we can forget about sooner than later.


Good luck.

It will also be unchecked if you try to log in from your mobile.

This is the most frequent occurrence of the dropped auto's. When you check in from your mobile device, you need to make sure you hit the auto again.

I had an Auto One set yesterday in the 9th round while I was headed to a Super Bowl party. While driving (from the passenger seat) I checked on the draft on my iPhone to see I was given my top choice from my Auto list. When I arrived at the party, I was planning to see how long it was until my pick in the next round, when I noticed it was already a pick past me and I had been awarded the next guy on my Auto list; even though my settings were still showing "Auto One", I had never set it again, it just defaulted to that when I signed back into the draft room on the HTML on my iPhone.

Greg was nice enough to change my pick for me (30 minutes before the game, even though he gave me a tongue-in-cheek, "Thanks for bugging me on Super Bowl Sunday" remark :D ). But there's gotta be some bugs worked out of that system, I will NEVER use the full Auto setting, and never have, only the Auto One, so there was no way I should've been set to Auto for my 10th round selection.
