mock draft

Is anybody else having issues trying to do a mock draft? I've installed the Java program but it isn't allowing me to go any further. It says "install successful" but it doesn't go to another screen.

I got further than that, but still was unable to run the mock draft. This ought to be fun......

The Mock draft is mocking us.

Same issue here. When I try to test the draft it asks me to install Java which I've already done. I can't get past that point. I suggest we have a backup plan in place.

I assume it'll autodraft if we don't manually draft......

Is our draft order already set?? It says it's set by the LM-what's that the League Manager? If so it's interesting that kins picks 1st--or will it be a random spin just before the draft?
I've done my mock drafts so don't need to-but Brinn is right about a backup plan as I don't trust ESPN as far as I can throw it.

I'll set the draft order before the draft. Its the reverse of last season's standings. Crap, I haven't tested the draft yet. My only guess is to do this damn thing offline unless someone has a better idea.

I'm a pretty good Java wiz if someone lets me know what you're trying to run.

Can you let me know how to proceed? I'm afraid to miss my draft picks if everyone else can get on and I can't.

I was talking with Damelon and we figured the order would be that way, and then I said, "Dam I wished I sucked even worst last year
..."

hey, Wayfriend...we are running a java ESPN football draft. The problem seems to be that the java enabled tabs are coming up.

Yes, kins, but where can I find it?

This is the link to the test hopefully it works.

I think the draft will work alright as long as you can reach the page that says download java and reboot. The draft window should pop up a little before the draft begins so be ready.

I did some checking on the net and it seems that 1 hour before the draft ESPN allows you to enter the draft room and gives you two options to access it; The first is via the Java application and the second is a "lite" HTML version. People say that the "lite" version works great if you have any issues with the Java version. I would suggest testing both about an hour before the draft to see if they work and to get accustomed to the interface.

Hey, that's a plan! Now, as long as it recongizes all the keepers...
