All,

I have been pulling my hair out trying to fix this damned proxy issue on the website. I am at the point of last resort. I am going to take a backup of the database and completely recreate a few of the tables. A few side effects of this may be:

1. All drafts currently in progress will be reset.

2. All historical data/drafts may be lost.

Now, I WILL have a backup of the database, so things won't be totally lost but I am at the end of my rope and think this is the only recourse I may have to get the proxies firing again. Please post here if you have a draft currently in progress and you would like me to wait. I will give folks a day or two to check-in before I begin the process.

HOPEFULLY, this will fix the issue. I'm just out of other guesses.

Thanks for your patience.

we are in the last round or two of the mystery card tourny live draft. Please give us a day or two to finish up.

No problem at all. I didnt want to yank the carpet out from anyone. :) Good luck with your draft.

I think deleting old drafts is a good idea anyways.

Thanks for giving it a try Major. It's a great draft site, but a tough go without the proxies. Sure do appreciate the time and effort you are putting into it.

OK guys from what I can tell all drafts are complete. I will be wiping the database tables later today unless I hear otherwise.

all drafts may be complete, but all are not loaded. It may be difficult for some to remember who they drafted and who may available in free agency.

If the SOMdrafts are wiped clean, there may consfusion.

People drag their behinds, Major Deegan does us all a favor running his draft site. If he needs to re-set, let him. We're holding up new drafts by waiting.

To avoid confusion do this:

1. Enter your draft

2. Click ALL DRAFT PICKS.

3. Select all and copy (CTRL-C)

4. Paste (CTRL-V) in Word or Notepad or an email.

You can do the same thing but choose DRAFT SUMMARY.

This will avoid all confusion AND allow me to move forward without further delay. Its ridiculous to wait for leagues to load.

I saved League 4. Thank you!
