'Save Order' is only 'on' after using arrows. It should be on all the time.
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

On the draft screen I would request the clock along with everything to the right of it like the refresh, call commish, refresh room and who's here to be put into a spot where the ad currently is. Why? That way I'd be able to see everyone I've picked throughout the draft without having to scroll up to see how much time I have left to pick. Everything would be visible without scrolling.



Or it could be centered near the bottom where draft cue is.

The clock, etc could also be moved to the white open space to the right of "rules".

Once we start drafting,Will the site keep track of our total projections for our team?

Can we change the projections for each player?



Bryan That currently isn't included, no. We've stuck with the basics for now, but it certainly is a possibility in the future.

The draft room freezes on me every time the clock hits zero. I am at work, so I don't know if it is firewall related or not. I am however able to load the draft room without issue.

Great job on site. Is there a link that will tell you the players to draft to win lol. I am sure Geoff will get the kinks out. Patience is a virtue in fantasy and in life.

Geoff:



3 rounds in, some bugs...... but overall a big thumbs up.



I miss the PICKS TILL YOUR TURN feature.





Best part, for me, is how easy it is to find a player. This can give you as little or as much info as you can handle. A very good thing.



Ran smoothly on my computer.





CONS: Didn't care for the sound when it was my turn. Sounds minor - but something louder would be better.

Marty Thanks, Marty.



All the credit goes to the tech guys at Fanball -- they did an excellent job with the draft software and the commissioner product. Just wait until you see that!

Do you have another computer nearby you can try or can you try at home later?

How is your draft slot determined for a mock?

[/QUOTE]I am just going to chalk it up to a firewall issue here at work. It is odd that it loads however. I will try it at home over the weekend. I am sure it works fine there.

The scroll on the top works much smoother and easier to read than MDC. Like the lil lights to what each player status is.





This will work just fine, again. Thumbs up.
