Request for Default Screen and Buttons

[DGriz]

2 suggestions from a commissioner who will be using this for the first time in 2010:

Buttons
Please give us buttons instead of drop down lists. One click instead of two is always better. I suggest they be placed in the red bar under the teams. List of buttons should include each screen including each player position used by the league (i.e. QB, RB, WR, TE, K, Def).

Default Screen
I prefer to have the Team Board shown, well, all the time, but at least in-between picks. My teams are used to the paper draft board and seeing the stickers in front of them. Your Team Board looks great and they are going to love it this year. But to make it easier on the person actually running this program during the draft, having that page pop-up automatically without having to hit f2 after every pick would make things much easier and run smoother.

Currently, we have to hit the f-keys or use the drop down menu to switch between screens. So a typical routine goes like this:
Screen starts on Team Board; hit f1 for Player Board; use drop down to go to specific position list; select player; hit f2 to go back to Team Board; repeat for next pick.

Instead, it should go like this:
Screen starts on Team Board; click on RB button (page switches to RB list); select player; screen automatically switches back to Team Board.

Thanks for a great product. I look forward to my first draft with it (especially if these 2 features can be programmed in).

DGriz,

You should note that you DO NOT have to be on the Player Board to select a pick.
All you need to do is type into the Player Queue box, and then select a player that way (you can learn more in the in-draft HELP). If you need some more instructions on how this works, please let us know.

Thanks,

The FanDraft staff

I would like to second this users request. Also, we know that you dont need to switch to a player board to make a pick, but we do need to switch to a player board (or toggle between different boards) in order to browse available players at those positions, so your suggestion is of no help.

I like both of these suggestions alot as i found myself doing a whole lot of clicking at the request of the current drafter. We will be doing an auction draft this year so this will be less of a pain, but still useful.

THe ability to have a default screen that is automatically switched to after each pick would be ideal.
