Okay the Internet Explorer issue looks to be fixed. I used a online site to generate the menu and their html was way non-standard. Apparently IE is very picky. It still runs like crap on that browser, but at least it should work if you are forced to use it. Let me know if other issues crop up on IE and I'll get them fixed.

Next is email notification option.

BTW, League 2 has 3 slots left. We'll start a third league if there is enough interest.

So far I've focused on function over design. We'll eventually get the place looking spiffy.

We discovered a loophole where it didn't cost more to make it bigger, so we maxed it out. It greatly lowers our cost per logo-square-inch.

Will Safari (iOS) handle this ok?

iOS is all I have at home. Looks like the rookie draft page works...although i can only look at one page of players.

Veteran draft page shows no players. Im assuming it doesnt appear this way with chrome @ work.

I'm on Chrome and it works perfectly for me. Hopefully you'll see the same thing. In the long run, though, we'll want it to work on Safari, too.

Further questions about scoring. First, on offensive linemen: I'm not familiar with actual OL statistics other than sacks given up, but what is more valuable, an OL who plays for a team with a top tier running game, or an OL who plays for a team that gives up few sacks and produces lots of passing yards?
As for defense, is there a way to factor in the fact that some CBs are thrown at very little because their coverage is so good? Or is it better to skew towards CBs who are going to produce real stats, like tackles and INTs?

Whens the draft?

If you plan to run a lot, you want OL that are generally considered to be good run blockers. If you plan to pass a lot, you want good pass blockers. If you plan a balanced attack, you want OL that does a reasonable job at both. Focus on individual linemen rather than the team's running ability.

I'm certainly not going to use an irrelevant stat like tackles to judge defensive backs. A shutdown corner who doesn't get thrown at much will be a great guy to have.

People will be better off if they don't worry about the scoring and just draft good football players.

If you are in league 1 it will say on your draft pages. The time will display correctly if you set your time zone under account management.

If you are in league 2 your draft will start 24 hours after the league is full.

hmmm. I don't have Safari installed on my computer. I'll check into it in a day or two.

This is a good point. The simulation system isn't going to be something like, "Peyton Manning is worth X points and Matt Cassel is worth Y points". It's going to be more complex and will take into account the combined strengths of all the players around these guys as well as your philosophy. If you're going to have a run-first team, the difference between Manning and Cassel will be smaller. If you're going to have a pass-first team, you're going to want to draft linemen who are good pass protectors. And none of those things are going to be measured by gross stats like number of receptions or number of tackles. It's more about productivity when the opportunity arises.

This is very helpful. Thanks much.
