I've tried reloading the page, changing the position. But the bar just doesn't load so I am unable to view available players. is this happening to anyone else?

Yes. It is happening to me. Randomly. Last night it loaded so I filled in my list. But during the day it was not loading. Clearly some kind of bug. One workaround is also to view players in the draft class screen and click on "add to draft board."

Yes, and I can explain why.

The page polls each interval to retrieve the list. It doesn't get the list in one go, each polling is a network request - the response contains a number indicating percentage done.

Whatever the triggering issue, the polling can always return 0 - meaning continues polling.

I've no access to the code, so can't comment why it's happening.

I've made an assumption as to the way this works, and have suggested may a different approach to doing it all. It's up to JDB to decide if what I proposed is viable or useful.

The draft was working fine for me hours ago, it could be potentially a load issue that starts the problem.

Think JDB may have kicked the server ;)

Seems to be ok for now.
