Any chance we'll actually get to set our lineups for tomorrow sometime tonight?

No live stats for me in Week 1 Vegas 2. Running Firefox tried it all (reboot, re-sign in, beg... nothing!) Well at least the FA's are up. Poor job so far on everything. Frustrated with all of these failures.

I can't wait to read on the MB's tomorrow that FA's went off without a hitch. This is a joke for a league that claims top be the best in the business.

On a positive not I hear the Live scoring is much improved, too bad I can't see it.

I can understand that they would want to delay to ensure they ran correctly, but why not communicate this AHEAD of time? Sure would make it alot easier on everyone so we don't have lofty expectations.

Not bashing Greg, but just wish we had some more communication on this item.

And no responses from the leaders; fortunately, I am off on Monday's but for all of you that have to work and have no access, I agree, totally unacceptable especially with the amount of $$$ we are all paying. I remember the TQ Stats debacle at CDM a number of years ago;

And Greg, I am not being negative; it is 11:32 EST

Greg, can we get a 'Dyv Invitational' for midseason and only invite people who have to go to work early EST and have no access to their comps during the day?

Regarding Live Scoring, it does not work for me on IE, but works just fine on Firefox (on same machine). Until it gets worked out, you may want to try an alternative to IE, as this seems to be a browser specific issue (at least it is in my case)

And Greg, I am not being negative; it is 11:32 EST Jim, I have 14 teams i need to set lineups for. 5 of them are FAAB. with faab not running AND lineups LOCKED OUT, it leaves me right up te shitter. i have to go to bed now and wake up at 4.30 to ensure i have enough time to look at everything.

if for some reason everything isn't updated and rosters unlocked by 4.30, i officially have a BIG problem. i will have no way of viewing or changing my lineups. ya, be patient, everything will be okay. rolled out faab less than a week before it was to go live. NEVER SHORTCUT QUALITY CONTROL. NEVER, BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT YOU GET. I'M OUT OF HERE.

No Greg or Tom on the boards anytime lately. That suggests either an all-hands on deck type of meeting to decide how to handle this, or everyone inside of fball is going thru bids manually.

There was a time when the $1000 blind bidding for free agents was a unique and exclusive deal that needed $600,000.00 programming so they said.

Now every free league has it and they all seem to work perfectly.

Beer me!

Running Firefox. Week 1 Vegas 2 live stats DOES NOT work. Maybe Greg is having the same issues we are getting to post on the MB's. Thanks for taking the joy out of a great game tonight.

Fanball = Monkeys in hats

Also don't lie to us and just say your double and triple checking everything. You are clearly having issues. Sometimes just admitting your shortcomings will get you further. If your having issues just say so. Don't feed us garage and tell us it's filet mignon. I don't appricate that.

First off, I already posted some of my displeasure in another post so I am right there with some of you guys. At the same time, this is the only league I know of that you can email/call someone (Tom,Greg,Geoff) and have your problems solved or your questions answered within minutes. They have been very helpful in the past so lets not start throwing them under the bus. If they are not on the message boards, it is probably because they are probably trying to fix all the problems. Lets try to cut them some slack. Besides, what are we going to do? Go play in CBS leagues? pshh.

i'm not trying to pile on because i know how hard tom and greg work but live scoring is not working for all.

i have multiple teams and have tried different computers with firefox, i.e. and nothing works.

this is probably a secondary problem to the f.a's but i wanted it to be known.
