| Friday Website Downtime |
1:32 AM ET on 7/4/15 by Jay Soester |
Let me begin by apologizing for the website downtime on Friday. It was down for somewhere around eight hours.
I've honored all picks that were emailed to me. I've credited those who would normally make a pick in MLB Day-to-Day Pickem with a pass for Friday if they did not make a pick. There didn't seem to be any issues in CFL Pickem. If you need to make a pick and the website isn't cooperating at any point in time, you can always email your pick to commish@theasfl.com.
Why was the website down?
The hosting company created a technical ticket for me on June 29th out of the blue saying there was a folder with too many files in it. A fairly reasonable request, but the folder and files were created over five years ago when I was a beta tester for OOTP9 & OOTPX, I had no reason to expect any issue. It's not the first time they've made a request for me to change something about the website and I'm sure it won't be the last. The server for this website is shared among many websites and the hosting company felt the size of the folder was degrading the server's performance in this instance.
When the hosting company creates technical tickets, their system automatically sends an email. Unfortunately, I've been having issues with the means I typically access the email address they sent the ticket to for the past week. That rendered me completely unaware of the issue until the website was down. As soon as I saw the issue, I rectified it and notified them of the fix. The hosting company told me the website would be back up within an hour or at worst in a few hours. I followed up with three every other hour from that point for six hours until the website came back around 6:20 PM ET, over eight hours after I fixed the issue.
You can also follow updates whenever the site is down via @asfl2 on Twitter. Hopefully that will be increasingly rare going forward.

| New Feature: Email Reminder Links |
10:44 PM ET on 4/27/15 by Jay Soester |
I've fixed the email reminder script for Fantasy Games which feature it to include a link back to the game and, when applicable, a link to make each individual game pick.
The improvement applies to MLB Day-to-Day Pickem, NASL Pickem, Premier League Pickem, CFB Pickem, NFL Pickem, CFL Pickem, and NFL Locks. Please let me know if there are any problems.

| Malware Warnings |
11:07 PM ET on 7/27/14 by Jay Soester |
I've been working for a few days to get the Malware warnings from Firefox and Chrome to be resolved.
There are ways to get around the warnings:
Chrome:
1) Click the "Advanced" link next to the "Go Back" Button.
2) Click "Proceed at your own risk"
FireFox:
1) Click "ignore this warning" in the bottom right of the alert box.
The issue is caused by the ad network on the website (Smowtion). Unfortunately, they seem to bee on the verge of going under and haven't been much help. I've been removing the ads page-by-page as best I can and will continue to do so. Please do not click on any ad that looks remotely suspicious.
I apologize for the issue and would like to reiterate that I would never knowingly put forth malware. This website is solely designed for fantasy sports, sports talk and community discussion. I have no intention of developing or releasing any sort of software at this time.
I'm currently appealing the distinction with google. Once it is overturned, the warnings should disappear entirely.
