tbone138 6 Posted August 24, 2014 Just (should have) had my first draft of the year and yahoo froze up and noone could get in. Big money league draft is coming up. Hope they figure this out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

montana 89 Posted August 24, 2014 Seriously it does suck but so does Yahoo. I've moved years ago. I refuse to join any Yahoo leagues. I'd rather not play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 994 Posted August 25, 2014 this is focking absurd. I will never play in a yahoo league again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
famousb 11 Posted August 25, 2014 we had trouble with the MFL draft room, so we just did a free ESPN league to use the draft room. have to say, their draft room worked flawlessly for an auction draft... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montana 89 Posted August 25, 2014 ESPN....I've been using them the last 5 years (switched from Yahoo as we had a few issues there). No problems in 5 years. ESPN> MFL> Yahoo CBS & NFL.com But I have to say NFL.com web site focking blows. Almost unviewable/unusable on mobile. Horrible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law 220 Posted August 25, 2014 Ahhh, here we go - the annual Yahoo sucks thread. It's like clock. You know what? I've been using Yahoo for 15+ years. Never a problem. Not a one. They can't (or don't bother) to rank IDPs, but other than that. I don't think ESPN is near as usual friendly nor has as many features. Their draft tool certainly is not as good! NFL is better than ESPN, but not as good as Yahoo. But rant on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

montana 89 Posted August 25, 2014 At the end of the day (ugh, I hate that saying), it's all about personal preference. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigeru 65 Posted August 25, 2014 I enjoy the ESPN and Foxsports ones better. They are a sports site. Yahoo will tell you the news going on but they're no sports site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montana 89 Posted August 25, 2014 Never tried Fox. Heck, never even thought about it. Does CBS still charge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you think that proves a point, good luck with that. The thing is, Yahoo is by the most used site. So, by FFT norms, it's not cool. Simple as that. People will complain about it. If that doesn't prove anything to you, I really couldn't care less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrbdmb 28 Posted August 25, 2014 "it's all about personal preference." I prefer my fantasy site not to crash on one of the biggest draft days of the year. I can't get into my real draft or any mock drafts. Yahoo! sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law 220 Posted August 25, 2014 Hmmm, works for me. Just tried it. Loads up fine. Maybe it's user error? Or, more likely, a system error on your end. My main league drafted this morning. Everyone got in fine except one team. He's never had issue before. He clicked the test thing and was fine, but it was loading up a black screen. He tried several times. Finally he switched to his work laptop and it loaded fine. There was something on his home pc that was the issue. His problem, not Yahoo's. Just saying.

jrbdmb 28 Posted August 25, 2014 OK, all the people posting on the Yahoo! message boards about draft issues all got new issues with their PC at the same time. OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted August 25, 2014 Carson Palmer ARI played poorly tonight and slips to near undraftable status. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monk81 5 Posted August 25, 2014 Around 7pm eastern last night they were having major technical issues. No one in my league could enter the draft and it took our commish 15 minutes just to get to the commissioner tools to push the draft out a day. It wasn't 'everyone had PC problems at the same time', I tested my system last week and all was fine. Hopefully they have solved the issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monk81 5 Posted August 25, 2014 I get annoyed easily when people complain about something that is absolutely free. While free, yahoo is not a charity and they don't run this service out of the goodness of their hearts. It's big business and many users had their seasons screwed up last night. People dedicated a lot of time setting up leagues, preparing draft lists, hosting parties, etc. users will bring a ton of traffic to yahoo and some will pay for premium services. I believe there is a reasonable expectation that the draft will function as yahoo says it will and when that expectation is not met, users are justified to get angry. Thankfully my commissioner was able to get our league out of the way of last night's train wreck. Those that can make it will be drafting tonight instead of last night (as was planned). If I couldn't make it tonight I'd be pissed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
