The MFL site seems to think we are doing a "Live Draft", with everybody logged on at the same time and makong quick picks. We're NOT, are we?
Maybe this needs to be changed back to a 'regular' slow draft?

Yep.
It's fine as long as the timer isn't on. Using the Live Draft capability gives you a live draft room where there's a chat board (For Owners / Live Draft Room). Slow draft doesn't give you that.
Picks still need to be made in the usual place (For Owners / Draft) unless you're in the live draft room when your pick comes up, in which case you can make it directly from there. You can't pre-select in the Live Draft Room though.

Not sure what you mean. I just picked LT, no problem, but I ain't gonna get him.
'Splain please?
Please do not pick in the live draft room, when doing this I do not get e-mail reports on who was picked. If I do not get reports on who was picked can't keep up with draft during day therefore if my pick comes up cannot select. Can't access MFL but can get emails.

Please heed this, it only takes a second to go to the owners tab and select draft.
A lot of people rely on the email updates. 
I know he doesn't get LT

This is what we did all the other years, but DRAFT FROM the "OWNER" PULLDOWN, NOT THE LIVE DRAFT SCREEN!

Just a pre-select.

We had a problem last year on the first pick being skipped. After reading thru MFL's instructions, it seems that the timer has to be on for the auto pick to work on 1.1. I set it for 36 hours so it shouldn't be a problem.
If yall what me to turn off the live draft, speak up now, but as long as everyone picks fro the Owner>draft page we'll be alright. If you need updates for some reason, email me at my rocknrobn26_comcast.net addy.

According to Al, we have to leave it on for other features. If we all draft from the Owner>Draft page all will be well.
If you run into a problem, let me know and I'll email you the picks that were made.
