Horrible bug I just found.

I am the commish of EML. I went to move a player to free agency, and when I did, somehow the teams entire pitching staff DISAPPEARED.

The only guy left was their ace. However, the summary page showed all the other players, put the pitching and contract pages did not.

Then I reset the league, and it shows an error message ???

We seem to now have things under control...

But this was VERY scary.

I spoke too soon.

The league reset worked, but the problem still persists, but only when the player is moved to free agency.

PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!

Hi, Tom -

We are aware of this bug, and we have a workaround for it while we fix the problem.

Your players are all still there, but due to a database quirk the computer isn't showing them.

Auto-sort your players, and you will once again see them all. Alternatively, you can add a few people from the free agent list.

The computer comes to the blank spot left by the player you released, and thinks that's the end of the list, so it doesn't bother showing you the rest. Auto-sorting pushes the open slot to the end, where it belongs.

Thanks, and sorry for the problem.
