Recommendations for a good auction drafting league hosting site (1 Viewer)

I have been hosting a long time dynasty league on MFL since 2006.  While we like how customizable MFL is, we hate literally everything else about it!  The site is archaic, has terrible functionality, not user friendly, you have to be a rocket scientist to use their blind bidding waivers system, and WORST - their online auction draft tool is absolutely HORRIBLE.  

We are looking to host our dynasty league on a new site that has a really good online auction drafting tool.  Does anyone know of one that is NOT MyFantasyLeague?  Thanks in advance~

Cripes, out league finally is going to auction this year & our site is MFL.  I know the blind bidding is goofy but what is it with the auction draft part?  Ours is redraft if that matters.

Our league has used ESPN for auction drafts the past 3 years. I am not impressed. The two main issues for me are:

1. the website will randomly freeze up for a few seconds (preventing anyone from entering bids), then it will suddenly unfreeze with the clock showing 0:00 -- and the player will be assigned to whoever entered the last bid before the site froze! This has happened every year that we've done our draft -- at 3 different locations -- so it's not the fault of our internet connection.

2. if you are using the app or if you are using an iPad, you can only enter bids that are exactly $1 more than the previous bid. So, if someone bids $1 and you want to bid $30, you can't do it unless you're on a PC. Another disadvantage of this setup is that the bids sometimes come so fast that you might think that you're pressing the "+1" button to go from $8 to $9, but someone else on a PC has just bid $30, and suddenly the system thinks that you want to bid $31.

Also, the draft queue doesn't work very well. You try to drag-and-drop players into your queue, and half the time it doesn't stick.
