I searched to see if this was posted anywhere, and didn't see it, so I hope this is a new report.

There is a very annoying draft list issue (the Draft List sub-screen that goes along with the Draft Pool). I am playing in a multiplayer fictional league (FOOL), and this issue is with the amateur draft.

For the most part, it seems simple: drag a player down to a spot on your list, and there he goes. But fairly often (probably about one out of every four times for me), when I drag a player down, he goes into his spot--but a player who previously was dragged to another spot disappears entirely. Or sometimes that second player disappears AND the player I just dragged to the list doesn't go to where I put him, but instead into the spot of the disappeared player. And sometimes, the player who disappears jumps to some other spot on the list AND that third player who was in the spot disappears from the list.

It is very trying. Many in my league are frustrated with having to deal with this, and since FOOL is a fast sim league, we have to deal with it once every week.

So if someone could take a look at this, it would be much appreciated.

Im also in "FOOL" and I have the same exact issues and I just want to bang my head off the keyboard. It takes a long time to do a list, and when this happens and things start going everywhere, your forget where guys where and all the time and work that you have put into the list goes up in the air. The "FUN" factor in the league takes a huge hit when this happens, and I too am praying someone takes a look at this issue.

I'm the commish over there and agreed, it's a huge problem. We've been using OOTP9 since the week of release, we converted from OOTP2007/8 and this problem really causes some consternation to our members.

I am just posting to say that I am all for anything that complicates their ability to draft the players I want instead of me!

Which version of OOTP9 are you guys using, please? 9.1.6?

[Commo_Soldier]

Yes our league is on 9.1.6

[Nutlaw]

Just in case, could someone point us to a set of league files from this point in time that might be hosted for a little while, or upload a zipped copy of the league's .dat files and let us know the filename per these instructions:

How to FTP Files to Us

Or, have any of you seen this problem in another league as well?

[Commo_Soldier]

I ran into this problem in another online league, but we were using 9.1.2 at the time of the draft.

[Kelric]

I know I had this with 9.1.6 in my own league. Not sure if anyone else has.

When dragging players around to re-order the draft list, every now and then a player will disappear from the list. It happens often enough that anyone who does it will know what I mean.

[Nutlaw]

I haven't observed this behavior. Does it happen when swapping two players in the list, swapping a player in the list with an empty slot, or both?

Happens in three situations:

1) dragging player from upper screen to empty slot.

2) swapping players in draft list.

3) moving player in darft list to an empty slot.

It is usually NOT the player being moved that disappears, but rather a different player in the draft list.

Try and do a list of 30 or more and move guys around/swap guys - I have done this in several leagues for online drafts and never not had the issue.

I'm told that this was reported as BZ 1858.

[Nutlaw]

Heh. I guess that I had already logged this one myself in the past. Merging related threads.
