I have run mocks all this week and tonight, the night of my draft, I can't get into the draft room at all. Tried from two different computers using 2 different connections. Also, I have confirmed that others in our league can't connect as well.
We had to do our draft manually because the fleaflicker draft would not open for all players and when I as the commisioner finally got in there was no command to suspend the draft or allow me draft players for a team that could not make it. It was a catastrophe! Fleaflicker, we will be moving our league to another website next year and our other will move this year since our draft is next week and we cannot have these problems. Sorry, you lost 20 hard core fantasy subscribers.
Not much I can say. I know that this is the worst possible technical glitch because people set aside time for the live draft and it's difficult to get the entire league together.
The error was due to a configuration issue on one of the servers. When AOL bought Fleaflicker we moved everything to AOL's datacenter. There was one server setting which was overlooked. As a result the draft application started dropping connections (it was not under heavy load--it can handle many many times more traffic).
All I can say is when we mess up we fix it pretty quickly. And I'll definitely ensure this doesn't happen again.
also is it possible to switch them myself since I am the commish? since alot of them know who they picked. as opposed to them having to trade or redraft. It was hard enough to be able to get em all there for tonights draft.
I had the same problem. The site cleared my league's entire rosters before the draft and then we were all locked out too! Now it appears I have no league???????
Only the non-keepers should be cleared when the draft starts.
Is it possible that you last imported rosters (1 hr ago) and did not check off "these are keepers only"? That will clear the keepers status of the players.
mid draft and we all got booted,...now our rosters have players on them we didn't draft,.....by that i mean players that were drafted in earlier rounds are now on other peoples teams
1 team drafted Jared Allen now hes on the next team down,. I drafted the Steelers D and it's on a different team, guy in front of me drafted mason crosby and now I have him. pretty much all have players that they shouldnt have
Admin, I demand a redo for our league. We all got booted in the middle rounds and when it finally came back up a lot of us had players that we did not draft earlier and lost players we did draft.
This is just wrong. 3 years on this engine and this year problems all over. the middle rounds are the key rounds and I am stuck trusting the draft rankings to do it for me. This is WRONG

You can manually make the changes using commish options -> edit rosters.

The missed pick triggered the bug you're seeing.
The transaction log is correct.
If you could just fill in the 82nd pick, I filled in the rest.
I also had to bench all players which were on the wrong teams so be sure to set lineups.
