I am unable to change my lineup right now. The problem is not getting to this page - that works fine. However I am unable to change the players in my lineup. This is happening for all 15 slots (5 starter, 5 backup and 5 reserves). When I click on a dropdown-field I only have 2 options available. I can either leave the filed blank or choose the player, who is currently set to play on this position. There are simply no other players listed.

I usually firefox and after I saw this strange thing happening I tried it with Chrome.... however there was the same problem. I also deleted all cookies but this didnt work either.

I would be very thankful for any help...


PS All the other dropdown-buttons (i.e. defense, offense, attitude....) are working as intended.

Since it's not a full page error nor something I can do to make this happen, it's very hard for me to reproduce. Can you try and think if there's something you did that triggered the problem? Does the same thing happen to all the games? Did you try a different computer? Anything else related would be appreciated.

I tried it with other matches... its always the same. However, if I use another computer it works fine as long as it is not related to my internet-connection. When I try it with my smartphone and I am connecting via WLAN on my own network at home I doesnt work. If I try it with any other connection it works fine.

That all doesnt really make sense to me, but maybe you (or anyone else) know a bit more about this stuff ;)

Are you able to switch players to "Selected Players" and "Remaining players"?

I am not sure if it has to do something with your problem (Marin can probably confirm this), but try switching Javascript on and off. Then browse through some BuzzerBeater pages and try to change things. Don't you see any differences on one of the pages? Probably the security settings of your Router/Modem/Firewall has something to do with it.

If you do see changes on some pages, try using the settings which perform the best. Probably you'll need the "Advanced" butten on the "Content" tab in the Options menu of Firefox.

Don't know how to enable or disable Javascript?
Firefox: (http://mistered.us/tips/javascript/firefox.shtml)
Chrome: (http://mistered.us/tips/javascript/chrome.shtml)
Since it's a bit harder to disable Javascript in Chrome, you probably prefer to test it in Firefox first ;-)

As I previously said, it depends on how the page is programmed if this really matters.

The problem is obviously with your internet connection. I don't know if it's the provider's fault, as in they are blocking something or your own router security settings, though.

You know the coding..
Is it possible that Javascript is the problem? Some routers (rare) block JS automatically, untill you enable JS in the routers settings..

I tried the Java-thing but nothing changed. If I would have recognized more things that arent working, while I surf in the net... then ok... I would maybe understand it. But there are exactly 15 drop-down buttons that dont work.

Thank both of you for your tips, but it seems like I need to set my lineup via smartphone with deactivated WLAN in the future.... ;)

Weird..
Yeah, for this time it's acceptable to set your lineup via mobile device, but I think it would be nice if we find the problem..

Do you have any brothers/sons/fathers/roommates who find themselves good with routers? :p

For what it is worth, I have experienced the same thing a couple of times when traveling and accessing the site via mobile phone. I am not sure whether I used WLAN each time, but I did the last time which was last week. For me, the problem however went away either by accessing the match page again or by logging out and relaunching the browser.

Edit. I should add that the top-most player selection list (who is dressed for the game) was in these cases empty on both sides. Regardless there were 2-5 guys from the standard lineup I could choose for the game. Obviously something I could not replicate and was just happy to see it back to normal with little trouble.

For me everything is normal, except of these 15 dropdown-buttons...so I have all the players listed on the top.

@ nick: of course it would be nice to fix this problem, however I am not very optimistic with that...but ill let you know if I get the problem solved ;)
