Looks good, just some bugs to work out, here are a couple of things.

1. When you are searching through the players, the list resets to the top every time someone makes a pick.

2. When you search by name, the players are listed alphabetically by first name instead of last.

Do you have any other browsers you can give it a shot with?

On a related note, the chat box and the clock cannot be viewed at the same time.

Can also drag the window to different parts of the screen, but can't change the size.

Once you make a selection for a multi position elig player, is there a way to move him from one position to another during the draft? I couldnt find it if there was....Thats important..

Gekko · Post by **Gekko** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 3:06 pm

i can't make any picks. the draft is stuck on auto. every pick is made within 4 seconds.

The draft room and layout looks a lot like ESPN's draft room. I like it, only minor issues that has already been noted on here.

Good job

The commissioner will have the ability to make that change in satellites, however.

Did your pick time out?

I like it. It has all of the good things of MDC and a lot more professional feel.

The only thing that irks me is space on your screen is so limited- why have a stinking advertisement on there?

Lance is going to go nuts when he sees that. Can "E" not stop marketing to us for a second. Goodness gracious you already have 5k of my money...

Room looks nice Though....

What If I draft say Ben Zobrist as a 2b but during the draft I decide I want to move him to OF to draft a different 2b. Will I have to ask the commish in the middle of the draft? Or will he be able to set it so we can move them ourselves during the real draft? You werent clear..

How do you unjoin/leave a draft?

If you change yer mind or can't make it, etc. Need to be able to leave before it starts.
