Yeah, a couple issues today, but otherwise MFL's been pretty good and has had no delay longer then a few minutes.

I know for sure, as I have lots of drafts going on right now and they've been available.

 
I'm seeing it too. Have seldom seen this much connection issue with MFL. Based on complaints seen in the SP over the years for various hosting sites, MFL seems to normally do a lot better load balancing on their servers than a lot of other commish sites. Hopefully they'll work it out shortly.

 
I've also had this problem a little to much lately but it just started over the last 7days
yep over the last week its timing out intermittently. maybe the mfl owner who posted in the other mfl security thread can let us know whats up?

Rather than asking for an update on a board they neither maintain nor monitor, a better idea would be to submit a help request to them through their help center.

even better would be a banner on every league home page letting their customers know whats going on
 
I spoke too soon. I can now get in a couple of leagues, but get this error on two more.

It's been doing this a lot lately. If they're having issues now, what do you think it will be like once the season starts when there will be a lot more users accessing the site? This could get ugly, and I won't hesitate to drop MFL if they don't get their s--t together.

I have been using MFl for 7 years now and never had a problem with them. They will be fine. Unlike other sites, I am able to get on right before gametime to change a thing or two in my lineup. Other sites have caused me problems.

Agree, relax, it could just be due to all the free mocks and best ball leagues they have going on now. That's just my guess, have nothing to support it. And it's only like a min or two if that, once in a while. I am getting sick of seeing MFL getting beatup, they have some of the best customer service around, very reliable, and honest owners. Been with MFL and FFLM for 11 years, when I change over to the web based MFL from their computer based FFLM, 7 years ago, I didn't even know I was due a returning customer discount. Got an email about two hours after I paid, saying i was due the discount and my credit card statement would show it. I have had to email them a couple of times with questions, got repliies with in an hour or two.They have me as a customer for life, honest, reliable , and great customer service. I would be an idiot to go any place else.The product is solid. too. I don't understand all the complaints about the look and ease of use of the site. It has so many options for appearence and so many reports and other functions. 7 years, ago, I had a bunch of owners who weren't very computer or internet savy, after a few weeks, they were telling me about all the cool reports and info they were finding on the site.

i have 17 mfl leagues and counting without ever a problem.

wolfe pretty much said it right except customer service used to

be #####es when I asked for undrafted rookies to be added a little earlier then they

liked but they eventually learned to listen by hireing roto to keep there data base!

u wont find anything better anywhere else. if u do be sure to let me know as I've pretty much had every servor in the industry and not one compares to MFL! Not even close!

 
This is becoming an everyday occurrence now.

was in the middle of a draft and everything froze up. now I can't access any of my MFL league pages.

this sucks.

 
their down for sure... I have a slow draft going on and we usually bang out 2 to 4 rounds around this time....
I've been a MFL user for years and I can't remember an off-season this bad. I sure hope it gets better by the time week 1 rolls around.
 
What server you all on? Leagues on 15 and 16 look good here. is down now.

every year right around draft time like clockwork. why?
They wanna pee ya off so you will switch to CBS next season.

I'm really getting tired of this too. I've always been an avid supporter of MFL and would recommend it to anyone, but the consistency with which this stuff is now happening and their lack of communication on it is really starting to change my attitude.

 
should we be worried? How often does this happen during the regular season?
Happened last night. happens mostly at this time during drafts/auctions. Usually last 15 minutes. Can not think of a time it was that much longer.

This is about the third time ( non schedeuled down time ) it has happened ( that i have noticed ) to me in three years on the site. Never during the reg season.
 
All of the leagues I have on MFL are down right now, including the couple of ones where we are in the middle of the draft.

 
you would think they could anticipate how much traffic they are going to get and plan accordingly.

but i can't remember when it's ever been down for a significant amount of time though.

i wonder if they actually do it on purpose like rolling brown outs in california?

regular season is fine... but most online Drafting services have problems during this time of yr due to the volume, MFL is having a tough week for sure.
I noticed that they seem to have taken care of the previous problem of the site timing out. I was getting it a couple times a day there for a few days, but haven't had it since. This looks like something else. Internal server error, sounds more like a database or webserver crash or something along those lines.

I've been on MFL for a half dozen years at least and I notice a lot more complaining from other sites than problems I have on MFL. This year is probably the worst they've had in this regards in my recollection.

yeah....August should mean add much more bandwidth, ya think?
 
I had a live draft shut down last night for 1 hour and now my 2 slow drafts are down. I am fan of MFL; their customer service, pricing, site customization and service was unmatched. They need to fix this and let their customers know what they are doing about it.

 
Yes, only have had problems during drafts. Affected my slow draft yesterday and today. And messed up a lot of Phenoms drafts last year.I thought last year was a fluke.

 
They need to fix this and let their customers know what they are doing about it.
Exactly. For them not to do so is atrocious customer service.And for this to happen during any live draft (i.e. a draft happening in one sitting) is beyond inexcusable. They should refund anyone perhaps 50% of the cost if that happens.
