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. 
 
This NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!!

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???????

fleafounder Admin Sun 8/24/08 9:43 PM

Looks like your draft is going on right now. 
 
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.

freeleee Sun 8/24/08 10:34 PM

Is there any way to get my rosters re-loaded? I didn't have them saved anywhere but here? I had no backup anywhere.

BillLundberg Sun 8/24/08 9:19 PM

Can you suspend the draft so I can clear them now? It won't let me reschedule since the draft is currently going on.

IBleedBnG Sun 8/24/08 9:17 PM

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

fleafounder Admin Sun 8/24/08 9:44 PM

Which teams have the wrong players? Everything looks ok to me....

IBleedBnG Sun 8/24/08 10:13 PM

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

fleafounder Admin Sun 8/24/08 10:36 PM

I see...that is definitely a bug on our end. I'll have it fixed asap. 
 
You can manually make the changes using commish options -> edit rosters.

fleafounder Admin Sun 8/24/08 10:46 PM

Or if you want to wait until tomorrow I'll adjust the rosters for you--just let me know

IBleedBnG Sun 8/24/08 11:17 PM

So did it actually keep our picks in the Dbase? or how are you going to be able to see what we had before the system went down??

fleafounder Admin Sun 8/24/08 11:29 PM

Transaction log...it looks like the 82st pick was missed (due to the technical issues we had). 
 
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.

Thank you so much for doing that, the other owners will be pleased.

lllGurulll Sun 8/24/08 9:05 PM

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.

fleafounder Admin Sun 8/24/08 9:16 PM

I understand. The commish can clear the rosters and reschedule for another time.

lllGurulll Sun 8/24/08 9:19 PM

CAn it be done tonight or are the servers too flakey to trust?

scotto1959 Sun 8/24/08 9:26 PM

wasted alot of time on this one

scotto1959 Sun 8/24/08 9:28 PM

feeling the fox thing coming

fleafounder Admin Sun 8/24/08 9:05 PM

It's back up.

lllGurulll Sun 8/24/08 9:01 PM

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
