    Default Yahoo Position Changes

    Am I imagining things or did Yahoo take away a ton of their eligibility over night?

    Any guys in particular you are noticing?

    I just checked my three teams and nothing jumps out as missing.

    Way too many guys have dual eligibility now on yahoo. It’s almost laughable. I wish they would reset in the off-season and only offer dual eligibility when someone plays a position for multiple games in a season.

    They did it between seasons. They've being doing that every year for the past few seasons. I could be wrong but it looks like they wiped out C/LW/RW eligibility across the board. A lot of those players will end up getting those positions back in the next week anyway. Yahoo took away Noah Gregor's centre eligibility leaving him LW/RW and he's now the Sharks 3C to start the season.

    In your league if you go to 'players' > 'NHL roster changes' > 'positional eligibility' it looks as though they haven't removed a position as far back as mid-November (that's as far as I went). So you might just be imagining it.

    The position eligibility page on Yahoo doesn't show any changes yesterday.

    FYI - Yahoo NEVER takes away a position DURING the season. Yahoo will obviously ADD during a season but will not remove.

    Correct, but they have removed positions when Yahoo is open for business but before the season e.g. Stamkos/Aho were C/W when opened, then wing removed and left only C. I think that happened last year and there may be a thread about. Though, of course, for Stamkos, the wing was subsequently re-added during the season. Aho remained C only. It might have been a glitch, though.

    EDIT: Found it. See a few posts in about positions removed while it was open. Probably glitches but it happened.

    Yeah - so I was doing a write-up for a Dobber league - and needed two posts(consecutively - or my world explodes in an OCD way).
    I knew the post would expand past the 10,000 character limit.
    So I tried to start a 2nd post inline... and it tacks it onto the first post... which wouldn't work - eventually I'd exceed the 10,000...
    Which is a PITA - to try to pare down a post.

    But, over the years, I've learned that if you go post in two other threads, then come back to the first thread, you can post a next-post in order.

    It grinds my gears to have a two-post team-review interrupted by somebody else.
    So... that's the story! LOL.

    The post thing is actually just waiting for the clock on the forums to go to the next minute. You can't have two posts in a row from the same user that have the same minute reading attached to them, so if you just wait until your computer clock changes the minute number, then you should be able to post again as a separate post. Or at least that's what I've found.
