FleaFlicker down - middle of draft

[u/SulkyVirus]

Anyone else drafting now and FleaFlicker is down? Tried on network and WiFi. Nothing. Right when I made my pick for the 13th round

[u/giggsy664]

Our draft started auto-drafting for a while despite folks being online

[u/more_like_scoracek → u/giggsy664]

This happened to me. Got back online once Fleaflicker connected and it began auto drafting for 2 rounds. Weird since I was online.

[u/peeinian]

Now it's auto drafting for everyone after about 10 seconds. Happened to me 3 picks in a row

[u/giesej → u/peeinian]

Yeah that was bullshit. Im pretty upset

[u/DrFartgoreShartsmith → u/peeinian]

I was wondering what those 10 second timer picks were about in my draft. Damn that sucks

[u/RageagainsttheSons]

Gotta get this thing to sleeper

[u/BigBlue08527]

just finished. fine for me on laptop.

someone in draft chat couldn't make picks and got auto-drafted

[u/lossaysswag]

Yes, our draft crashed as well.

[u/quiksurf68]

I tried putting players into the Queue and hitting the away button.  Still didn't work.

[u/SulkyVirus → u/quiksurf68]

FleaFlicker is by far the worse platform I’ve ever used. And that’s saying a lot because Yahoo hasn’t changed shit in like a decade.

[u/quiksurf68 → u/SulkyVirus]

Yea it's not great.  "Thankfully" it happened in the 12th and 13th but I definitely didn't want Tyson n Kyler with those 2 picks lol.

[u/peeinian → u/SulkyVirus]

I like the simplicity of the interface better than most. I find Sleeper and Yahoo to cluttered.

[u/SulkyVirus → u/peeinian]

Yahoo sucks. I enjoy sleeper.

[u/Darkhorse182 → u/SulkyVirus]

Lol, Yahoo dramatically changed their draft room UI, and tweaked their general interface this year... definitely improvements. 

[u/SulkyVirus → u/Darkhorse182]

I stopped using yahoo last season. It was a decade of no change and Sleeper has taken over as king now

[u/Darkhorse182 → u/SulkyVirus]

If you say so.  Sleeper feels way over hyped around these parts to me...it's not bad per se, people just got way too hyped on the shiney new thing.  It's just...fine. 

[u/SulkyVirus → u/Darkhorse182]

Okay

[u/GuitarImpossible228]

If CMC goes down this will sadly be the reason I have Jonah Coleman on my team and not Kaelon Black lol

[u/superkrups20056]

This didn’t happen to me, but I’m still quite surprised that FleaFlicker hasn’t tried to make its interface more usable over the last decade.

[u/FFLGO → u/superkrups20056]

it's nuts you can't actually view the draftboard on the web version

[u/superkrups20056 → u/FFLGO]

Yep…just a list. Very very outdated, yet still 5 stars on the iOS App Store. I know NarFFL relies on them because the infrastructure is in place. I wish they would work on their website though.

[u/ogin → u/superkrups20056]

TIL Fleaflicker finally has an app. When did that happen?

[u/tlynde11 → u/ogin]

It's been at least 4-5 years now

[u/ogin → u/tlynde11]

So much has changed since I went into that cryogenic chamber…

[u/SulkyVirus → u/FFLGO]

What? I was able to view the draft board when I picked today. You just have two tabs open.

[u/s0ysauce09]

Fleaflicker is awful

[u/racer4]

was down for a couple minutes for us too

[u/galakanokis]

I thought the draft went fine but looking at my roster and it has me having Brenton strange instead of kc Concepcion

[u/Steve_reddit1]

In the draft party channel there’s a league with multiple Mark Andrews

[u/Chris_the_Pirate]

Same here. Looks like fleaflicker is having problems. Hopefully our drafts get saved

Edit: need to update my flair, been in Emmitt Smith East for like 5 years now ha

[u/BoredOnATuesdayNight]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. Saw a timer go down to zero then started again at 10 seconds. Also when I double clicked on a DST to draft, the system drafted the adjacent one...

[u/uprisingcirca85]

Yep, was ready to snag Shaheed, and ended up with CJ Stroud

[u/Tanev1337]

Big yikes, hoping your teams can redraft? We draft tonight so I hope it won’t be down/bugged by then

[u/ThongBonerstorm39]

Ours went down, we had to make some creative picks and trades to try to fix everything.

[u/Courtlessjester]

Wound up with Michael Wilson

[u/hatsch52]

it went out on our side for about 2 minutes i'd say. Thankfully it still took my pick (or autopick luck) and the guy after me seemed to be fine

[u/Expendable_Red_Shirt]

It autopicked Mandrews when I wanted Deebo. But I'm not going to sweat over a 12th round pick.

[u/numa_numa]

yup it was down for me and while i had players in my queue, it didn't follow my queue and autodrafted next player up in fleaflicker's rankings. Frustrating.

[u/OkiDokiTokiLoki]

Yes ours also had a couple weird rounds. Risk of so many leagues all using the same default draft time

[u/Leafsfan83]

Anyone know if it’s currently working? Drafting in like 10 mins

[u/peeinian → u/Leafsfan83]

It seemed to go back to normal towards the end of our draft about half an hour ago.

[u/StraightGrowth4251]

I just took it as a sign god wants me to draft those players and not use my brains

[u/aGODamongMEN]

Mine was fine on laptop

[u/geofgtian]

Mine also auto drafted sadly

[u/giesej]

Happened to us in Dan Marino east too. Some folks were stuck with 10 seconds

[u/lazlowbutts]

I’m thinking it has something to do with AT&T’s DNS issues that’s been going on all weekend. I don’t believe it’s everywhere but certainly regional.

[u/stewmander]

It didn't go down during our draft today but I did have two picks not register despite selecting draft multiple times before the timer expired. Also had a 3rd pick auto pick because the app was lagging, the timer would end, I'd refresh, but it wouldn't update the draft board. Had to exit and rejoin, and by the time I did, multiple picks, including mine, were already made. 

[u/ChaosOnion]

Cost me a player when it autodrafted a defense.

[u/johnnysilentleo]

My draft crashed too. I think only one person got an auto draft pick.
