Fantasy Football '08 (NFL American)- Redraft - Yahoo Server Crashed - 9/5 10 est/7pst

Okay. Thanks for the clarification. I won't be there, as I said, but it's all good.

If I wasn't drafting myself I'd draft for you. I recommend a stand-in. They do a much better job than an auto-draft list.....and they have to weather through all the glitches in your stead.

Don Tadow, no chance of an earlier time on a weeknight?

I'm just now getting over here. Tuesday's really not too good for me. It's my only busy weekday. I also spent four hours trying to set my rankings, but every time i hit "save", it resets on me!

 

[DonTadow]

Hi, sorry we're locked into this slot "next slot is next week". I hope this can acommodate mostly everyone. I didn't want to pick something to earlly and lock out anyone on the west coast.

Hmmm, missed the draft but it's still showing the "still drafting" link. Can't pop in. Oh well. Will be interesting to see what Yahoo gave me considering I didn't pre-rank.

Doh!

Yahoo! thinks it's scheduled for TONIGHT at 10p?

I'm going to see if i can fix this. I have no idea what is going on. We had one draftset yesterday and we participated in it. Now I"m very pissed.

"hating yahoo more"

The E-mail I got from Yahoo said today at 19:00, which would be 7:00 E.S.T. I remember drafting, but, apparently, Yahoo doesn't believe us. The E-mail said they've fixed the "glitch", so... we'll see.

At least it's at 7 this time for ya!

Edit: O.K., the e-mail they sent said 7:00, but the league page says 10:00. What gives?

So I get an email this morning telling me that the draft we had yesterday had been canceled because of some server problem.

I just got off the phone with the fantasy department at Yahoo, after a supervisor and lots of explinatives, this is what I got.

Apparently they had a server malfunction yesterday. The server did not record the draft information (more grumble grumble), so the draft was reset until today. I let them know that that is unacceptable and that we need them to find a way to retrieve our draft information. They gave me the customer service crappy spill about other customers and they are trying. That's not good enough for me.

Sigh... so unless they have things fixed we will have to redo the draft tonight... which sucks because i'm suppose to be gaming tonight.

Edit
Doesn't look like espn is much of an option unless you guys want to miss the thursday game.

Update

Sigh
Yeah feeling dejected right now guys. Apparently because they don't consider stat tracker payment 'premium" service I've been asked to future communicate through their email forums that are set up as their customer service number is only for paying customers.

The way it was explained was that at some point after 8 p.m. the fantasy servers stopped recording drafts and there is no way of geting that information. Essentilaly she said someone forgot to press the record on the vcr (no laugh from me when she said this). They are trying t ofigure out what the problem is but it doesnt look likely that we'll get the draft information back.

I'm peeved, I know if a lot of you are like me, then you probably just went to bed after the draft thinking it was all good. I hate how they just give us some random old time as this really cuts into a d and d game that we've been getting together. So here are my two choices.
1. Try to redo the draft at 7 p.m. on Yahoo
2. try to get a better time (9 or 10) on espn

I'm going to try to recover hte draft order so at least there's some consistency.

It's up to the rest of you. I could maybe make a 9 PM. The 10 is right out. I could probably do the 7 tonight, but I feel like crap, so I don't really have a preference.

Thanks for doing all of this, DT.
