"Date Activated" Now Added To Free Agent Page

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Wed May 08, 2013 1:11 pm

If you go to your Free Agent page now, you'll see a column that says "Date Activated." This is sortable so that you can easily find the latest additions to the free agent pool in each of your leagues. This should save everyone time and effort in locating the latest additions to your league. Enjoy. More to come.

Another addition last week that I forgot to mention is the return of the Player Movement page. It's now listed under Roster in the green navigational bar and it shows the Most Added and Most Dropped Free Agents of the week. There's some nice data there, so check it out.

The doubleheader fix seems to be holding true as we feel like we have this bug solved once and for all.

We can say that the NFBC mobile app has been sent for application to iTunes. We now await their approval. Android will be next and again we'll need approval.

Enjoy.

Can we please get the "% Owned" & "% Starting" column set up so that when you click on it, it goes to the highest % owned or started, and NOT to the lowest % owned/started. I'm getting beyond annoyed by having to always click on this twice. No idea why we would ever want to know the 0% owned, 0 % started.

Not sure about anyone else, but I find that super-wide mostly empty column right next to player names really distracting when looking over free agent stats. I'd rathe it be the last column and narrower without the unneccesary year.

Also, I agree with COZ in previous post about the sorting feature.

Agreed! I like the date added feature but lets move it to the right of the stats and shrink the column. Great suggestion.

I've raised this exact point before, and nothing happened to fix it. Unfortunately, we get to see Tony Abreu's name and 0% ownership over and over and over and over and over and over...........

Yes, we can change this. You're right, it makes too much sense.

I got to see Tony Abreu about 10 more times this morning. How exciting!!!

Dear Greg:

Could we please make the change of when we click on % owned, the highest % players always go to the top, rather than the 0% owned? Thanks.

Fernando Abad - welcome to the world of the top of the 0% pitching cue. I'm sure we will be seeing alot of each other.

If I am seeing this correct, this is now half :roll: fixed.

When I click on %owned for pitchers, it works correctly. For hitters, still backwards.

Greg, any update on the obnoxious "date activated" placement?

Easy temporary solution: click on "Owned" twice.

And stop being lazy! 8-)

I've made this request again. Yes, obviously the intent of having % Owned is to show the most free agents owned in a league, not the least owned. I've asked to have this changed for all hitters so that the extra click isn't needed.

Just a heads up that we did update the NFBC navigation bar now so that the free agents link appears under Transactions. We moved some other links around too where it made sense and it now matches the NFFC navigational bar. Enjoy.
