I have problems with MFL (not all my leagues though) either not loading everything or freezing for about a day and half.

Two leagues both work fine for me JU.

I can't get HA3 load from either home computer and we don't use Vista. One of the leagues I had problems with yesterday is working fine today, though.

Thanks for the update. Well, that leads me to believe it's a server issue with MFL.

Might be one of those Habman modules. Are any of those on that league?

Pardon my ignorance, but what are Habman modules?

Those are various reports or different third-party features that this guy (Habman) created and they're used by a bunch of different commissioners. If you're the commish and you didn't put one in, then that's not it. But sometimes they cause pages to hang up.

I am having the same trouble as JU on HA3 and on two others all the graphics are not loading, but all use some form of 3rd party banners. Since nothing in these is pending I was going to wait the situation out for a few days, but is there anything do to on my end?

Try to get in touch with Habman, I guess. He's usually on top of things if his stuff is causing problems. Go to the mfl support boards and do a search for Habman and then send him a message or post something. Sorry I can't be of any more help than that.

I opened a ticket earlier and I'm waiting on a response.

Our league has custom coding, so that seems to be the problem.

I can confirm that I have the same problems with your league at http://www16.myfantasyleague.com/2008/home/67526 when I'm running Internet Explorer 7, also. It
looks like this problem is happening due to a JavaScript error on that page, due to the extensive custom code that's been entered into that league home page.
I tried it out with Firefox, and did not have this problem, so short-term, you might want to consider using Firefox, if that's an option for you.
Longer-term, your commissioner will need to fix the errors in his custom coding that's causing this problem. See below for more details for the steps he'll have to perform
to fix this.
Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
Thanks,
Kevin
This question is answered in our Help Center, which you can access from the "Help > Help Center" menu, in the "Appearance & Customization" > "Advanced
Customization" subcategory:
I've got some custom code entered into my site, and it's not working (or does not look the way I'd like it to) - can you help me fix it?
While we cannot provide HTML and/or CSS support for custom code that's been written by our customers (or third parties), these tips might help a bit:
1. If your custom HTML/CSS was written by a third party, please get in touch with that third party directly. If you're having a problem, there's an excellent chance that
this is a problem they're aware of, and have already solved for someone before, so they'll be able to solve it for you in no time.
2. If you've written your own custom HTML, you need to be sure that it's valid XHTML 1.0. One way to validate your HTML is the W3C (X)HTML validation service at
<http://validator.w3.org/> http://validator.w3.org/.
3. If you've written your own custom CSS, you need to be sure that it's valid CSS. One way to validate your CSS is the W3C CSS validation service at
<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/> http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
4. If your league web page does not appear as you'd like it to, you should first remove all of your custom code, and then add it back one piece at a time, until you find
the offending code that makes your page appear incorrectly, and then fix the custom code in that specific module.
5. Often times you'll find some other MyFantasyLeague.com customers on our <http://forums.myfantasyleague.com/forums/index.php?showforum=19> Community
Forums who are eager to help with your custom coding needs.
6. If all else fails, and your league web pages are unusable to you because of these customizations, this detailed tip might help:
a ) Go directly to your <http://football.myfantasyleague.com/2008/commissioner_setup?L=37558&PRINTER=1> For Commissioners > Setup > Printer Friendly
page by clicking on that link.
b ) From there, if you know the offending code was custom HTML entered into one of the "home page messages", click on the home page message in question. If the
offending code was CSS, click on the "Image and Other URLs" link.
c ) From the resulting page, if it does not work for you, just edit the URL of the page you're on by adding "&PRINTER=1" to the end of the URL. For example, if you
know you were editing home page message #1 which caused the problem, you can go to <http://football.myfantasyleague.com/2008/options?L=37558&O=12
&PRINTER=1> this page, which gives you a "printer-friendly" version of the page (which eliminates the custom HTML and CSS).
d ) From there, you should be able to edit/save the HTML or CSS in question.
Finally, if none of the above helps, we can delete all of the offending custom HTML and/or CSS for you, allowing you to use your league pages again - just submit a
support ticket to us.
A note to more advanced customers - if you're looking to really take your league web page design to the next level, and plan on spending a lot of time writing custom
CSS and/or HTML, the combination of the Firefox web browser and the "Web Developer" extension for Firefox will save you a ton of time and frustration. See our
<http://football.myfantasyleague.com/2008/support?L=37558&FAQ=595> Advanced Customization Guide for more details on how to use these two programs.
