    I just want to make it clear that this is not ready... still needs a lot of work/polish behind the scenes and there are some bugs in it still. There is a lot that needs to be done to define and show that this is your mock. I'd like to make it less confusing somehow also ...

    But right now I'd like to see if the way to pick (the interface) works for you. This is the game we'll be releasing soon that allows you to pick and state why (optional) the Top 13 picks in this year's NBA Draft. I think it's going to be big for us and a lot of fun for the clutchcity.net community...

    <a href="http://www.clutchcity.net/mockdraft_register.cfm">BETA TEST: Register for Mock Draft</a>

    Please give honest feedback on it ... if you love it, that's great to hear but if you can find problems or offer suggestions that is just as good if not better.

    Few things: I'm doing a lot of work on this so I may delete accounts while beta testing it... we'll need to add more items, change some things etc. so it may become necessary.

    Once we release it officially that won't be the case.

    I believe also cookies must be enabled on your browser for this to function.

    Your help in refining this is greatly appreciated! Please post any feedback here and thanks in advance....

    Thanks NIKEstrad -- I'm tweaking it as I go and that should be taken care of now. I was trying to carbon copy the mail to me to see if it was being sent out properly...

    Hmmm ... thanks. I think I'm going to turn it off for the time being. Got some problems I can't attend to at the moment. Hope to have it available later tonight...

    Thanks Nike for the help...

    Clutch, I haven't yet received the password via email. However, I strongly suspect that my server at work is not working properly (again), so it might not be a problem on your end. In the program, whenever I changed the pick to someone else, it opened a Javascript Application box, notifying that I picked that player #1 and that I may need to make changes. When that box is closed, a new one appears saying the same about #2. Then #3 and so on.
    It looks like it'll be cool though once you get all the kinks out.

    JuanValdez -- thanks. It should be working fine though .... I sent an email directly to you also but haven't heard back.

    The mock draft sticks players 1 through 13 in the slots for you after you register... it's up to you to change them as you see fit. The javascript is designed to let you know if you have Darius Miles picked at #5 and at #7.... but I removed it since it will also notify you if there are any duplicates when you try to edit the mock draft.

    I'd like to see if someone could:

    a) register fine.
    b) receive their password via email.
    c) Change the players in their Mock Draft
    d) Add comments to those players.

    Anyone can do that I'd love to hear about it -- you can post your mock draft URL here too....

    Thanks for those who have helped out thus far with emails and posting here!

    Clutch- I registered earlier today and it didn't give me a password via email so I didn't know if it went through. I tried registering again right now, and it won't let me because I already signed up my email address but I never received my password. Can you email me my password?

    One more question- how do I get into the mock draft thing now that I have my password? It automatically takes me to the register screen, and I'm already registered so that does me no good. Where do I go to log-in if I already have my password?

    The Cat -- that should be in the email ... but agreed, we need a more "universal" login ....

    But in your case, here it is: <a href="http://www.clutchcity.net/mockdraft_edit.cfm?xMockID=28">The Cat's Edit Screen</a>

    This whole thing has a lot of possibilities that aren't there yet so feedback should play a big role ...

    Clutch,

    I'm having the same problem as The Cat. I registered earlier today and waited for the email, but it never came. I tried registering again, and it won't let me.

    Everything worked great Clutch. I tried changing players, editing, etc. and it all went smoothly. Great job.

    Here is my URL if you want to see.

    Did anyone get the email with their password when they registered? It's not a problem for me but some have stated they did not receive it.

    I did get the email, everything works fine. Just a question, the default order wasn't put like that for a reason? [​IMG]

    NIKEstrad -- that's intentional.... making some changes to the structure of it right now and that's why that is like that. Will be up in 15 minutes or so ....

    I'll probably delete your account and have you try over again .... that email feature (obviously) needs to work for all.

    rocketsfan34 -- thanks. No, not intentional.... in fact I'm fixing that now (I don't want that to be a "standard" selection ... want "none selected" for all)
