    Everything appears to be running ok - with exception when I log in as commish and go to Control panel - the words show up, but site is all blue. I can see Commissioner Functions - but nothing is inside that box. No way to set up new draft.

    Thanks for any help,
    Mike

    Can you provide me with:
    1. What browser you're using, and
    2. What version of PHPDraft you're using?

    Hopefully we can get this figured out.

      Browser - IE 10.
      PHPDraft - shows 1.1.1 when I run, but I loaded the 1.1.2 zip this year (ran 1.1.1 last year).

    Browser issue? or should I try and delete everything and start over?

    Sorry Mike - really hard to post from a mobile web browser.

    The good thing is that you're using the most recent version of PHPDraft, and the newest version of IE. The bad thing (but it's still good) - you found a bug I think. I'm going to look into it right now. Stay tuned.

    Mike, I'm not seeing this in IE10. Are you in Windows 8 full screen mode, or just regular desktop version?

    Until I'm able to reproduce it I won't be able to fix it unfortunately - there might be something that's different with your machine (a setting or some sort of ad block add-on) that will prevent me from seeing what's going on.

    For the time being if you want to get it running I recommend downloading and running either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome as a second browser.

    I see some odd things in IE10 when you run IE10 in "IE10 Compat View" or "IE10 Compatability Mode". Running in regular IE10 mode should remedy these issues you're seeing.

    While in IE10, hit F12 once, the Developer Tools tool will appear on the bottom of IE10. Click on the Browser Mode dropdown (in the Dev Tools top bar), and make sure plain "IE10" is selected.

    Appears to work fine in Firefox. Ill check the compatibility view options in IE10. Thanks!

    That's the issue - compatibility mode in IE10. If I run in compatibility view, it changes the view to where none of the menu options show up. If I change to regular mode -no issues.

    Awesome work!

    I know in a few instances for legacy applications it helps to have the compatibility mode turned on, but in most instances, it's just another version of IE that doesn't work.

    For PHPDraft, it works in IE10, IE9 and IE8, but IE10 Compat and IE7 don't work. Not sure why - but glad we got it figured out for you!

    For the next release, I'll try and include a note to switch to regular IE10 mode.

    Also, be sure you update your autocomplete database - from the Commish control panel, click "Update Pro Players Database", then upload the newest NFL rosters (you'll find the newest CSV file in the Resources/ folder - standard or extended for NFL).

    This year is the first year I'm not going to update the initialization database with the newest players - and in the future I'm going to remove them from that init script altogether, so every commish will need to upload the newest ones with the CSVs before they use the autocomplete.
