You're Killin' Me, Smalls! (Special Edition)

 

I'm hoping that the recent changes I made to the site have mitigated most, if not all, of the issues that some of you have had over the last couple of weeks. Let me go over what I know and what I've done to this point and suggest solutions to anyone with recurring issues. 

---Apple users have had no problems (and are probably sick of the never-ending emails and texts about this stuff). I apologize to them and anyone else who doesn't need any workarounds. 

---There are no problems reported using the 3rd party apps, MFL Platinum and MFL Mobile.

---The problems have been mainly with the lineup submission page and scoreboard. By 'scoreboard,' I'm referring to the main one, which you reach via the icon along the top of the site to the right of our shield and league name. See here:

---The problems seem to affect the site when using Edge and Chrome on Windows machines, but many of us use those browsers and have NOT had problems. My Chrome is Version 140.0.7339.186 (Official Build) (64-bit). Runs our site like a charm for me. Checking Edge, I have Version 141.0.3537.25 (Official build) beta (64-bit). 

---As noted, I use Chrome currently, although I have many different browsers on my computers, as I try to test things using them. My computers run Win11 without issues; all I do with the browsers is allow for automatic updates. 

---One owner has recently reported that the Marquee (the ticker with headlines directly below the logo) and the mini-scoreboard (the MFL/NFL board below the Marquee) have not worked/disappeared. The developer has told me he's never had that reported to him before. If you have the same issue, please let me know. 

---I've set the scoreboard page to the plain version. I hope that eliminates problems. 

---I thought I had done the same for the lineup page, but this a.m. I'm seeing the enhanced version (with player photos) again. I'm at a loss as to why. The only reason I can think of is that the developer sometimes updates his 'scripts', which trickle down to the sites that use them. 

---This has kind of taken over my life for the past week and a half. There is no way I'm going back to the old site style with my crude coding additions. This template is much quicker and better functioning. 

Sooooo:

Here is what I'm suggesting to anyone who continues to have problems...

---Make sure your OS (your version of Windows) is up to date. Support for Windows 10 is expiring. If you have a Windows machine capable of moving to 11, do so. 

---Same with your browser. You can use Google to find instructions. "How do I update ____ browser?" will get you what you need. On both Chrome and Edge, go to Settings and hit the About Chrome or About Edge link, and the browser version is there. If it is out of date, it will update for you!

---Make sure you have JavaScript turned on. Again, Google is your friend for finding out how to check this. I was able to replicate the issues on my computer using Brave with JavaScript turned 'off,' which told me the problems are related to your browser's use of that plugin. 

---Clear your browser's cache. It will force you to sign in on most sites that have your credentials stored, but it will also fix many issues. Again, use Google to find out how this is done.

---Experiment with a different browser. Edge and Chrome are fine, but there are alternatives out there that have features you may like. And most of them are quicker. 

---I highly recommend Vivaldi and Brave browsers. I used Vivaldi for years until it developed an 'allergy' to a page I use as my start page. When they fix that, I'm going back to using it. I continue to use it as my mobile browser. Opera is another good one, but I haven't used it in a while. Firefox works fine, but it used to load our site a bit slowly, so I moved on a few years ago. Unlike most of the others, it isn't built on the Chrome platform, so it may work better for you. Worth a shot. 

---The link below will get you to our league without ANY customization. It looks like dogshit (IMO), but everything is there. You can save it and use it as your regular link if you choose to.

This next one will get you back to the customized site:

EDIT: These two links are now available on the site under League Links down the right side of the home page.

---Use one of the mobile apps mentioned above, at least for lineups and checking scores. I'm rarely home on Sunday and in front of my computer (or watching the NFL, for that matter). MFL Platinum does a great job of keeping up with scores. 

---I have a way to turn off the 'invalid lineup' message that was being returned on the submission page, but I don't want to risk someone actually turning in an incorrect lineup by mistake. 

---I'm not going to say I'm done with trying to fix these issues, but with some solutions posted for the last of our 'problem children,' I'm going to take a break. 

---But PLEASE continue to alert me if something crops up! The more details you include, the better. You can text, email, or use the Chat box on the site.
