FF edit rankings
where is the drop down menu in the edit rankings section of the draft.
Thank you for reaching out regarding editing your pre-draft rankings. On the Edit Pre-Draft Rankings screen, there is a drop-down under the "All Players" tab that says "Sort - Avg Draft Position". You can click on the star symbol all the way to the right to move players to your preferred players. You can also click on "Select" in order to move multiple players at once. Then, click on the "My Preferred" tab at the top. You can hold down the three bars to the left of the players in order to drag and reorder them. If this is not the information that you are looking for or you need further assistance, please contact our support team via https://help.yahoo.com/kb/fantasy-football >> Contact Us.

Please revert Pre-Draft view
It's hard to arrange the order when I need to use 2 screens. Drag & Drop is no longer an option. If you could also implement AI to make the order process easier, that would be appreciated. Filters like Season Avg, would be helpful since there's many injuries to navigate. Also, a downloadable/digital player list with season stats.
Thank you

Draft layout/aesthetic is not good
HI Yahoo. I notice the draft layout looks different than last year. So far, not a fan. You can only see a few players at a time. It's not clear who's drafting. It's not clear who just got picked unless you toggle off your queue.
The worst part is, the "DRAFT" button replaces the "QUEUE" (star) button when your turn is up, and there is NO confirmation window for a draft selection. There should be a confirmation window for each pick. This means if you are placing players in the queue and your turn comes up, instead of clicking the…

Position Trade Requests during Live Mock Drafts
When live mock drafting, it would be very nice to request a position swap from another live mocker: perhaps one is interested and the other is indifferent.

If you're putting Bronze players against Gold and Platn'm
In 2 leagues I've joined there are only 2 bronze players each league, the rest are elite class, gold silver diamond etc. etc., so at least give the bronze players a better draft position. Just a thought Thanks

Best ball drafts limited at 60 teams with on feedback or error messages
There's a bug on the best ball platform where if you have 60 teams you're at the max number of teams but there's no error or message to indicate this. I see this in the network tab on the browser
{
"error": {
"xml:lang": "en-us",
"yahoo:uri": "\/fantasy\/v2\/game\/nfl\/livedraftlobby;drafttype=paid-best-ball-1?format=json&yspsrc=tdv2-app-fantasy&crumb=HdgtynhxmlG",
"description": "Failed to join draft queue. Error: Request to join queue failed: You have reached the maximum number of Best Ball teams allowed.",
"detail": ""
}
}It also seems silly to have this arbitrary limit since it prevents people from playing, it's pretty easy to get to 60 teams playing…

Auction Draft Presentation doesn't display the currently nominated player
In Draft Presentation Mode, there isn't a way to see who is currently nominated. All that is displayed is the countdown and there is plenty of space to show the currently nominated player and the highest current bid next to the countdown.
This seems to be a crucial aspect to an auction draft and makes the draft presentation mode very disappointing to use.

Online Draft customizations and features
I understand that for a lot of online drafts the current settings are adequate. However, part of doing a draft in person using the online draft is more than just the convience, it's about the experience.
I am suggesting that you allow unlimited times to pause the draft. For instance, our in person draft we like to draft two rounds then take a break to grab food or bathroom break. We do this every two room.
I am also suggesting to up the amount of time in between picks from 2 min to 3 min.
Also, would be awesome if…

New Fantasy Football Draft room - SUX - It's Terrible
The new Fantasy Football draft room is ******* terrible. Absolutely ******* terrible.
I've used both ESPN and Yahoo Fantasy Football for years, and I've converted every ESPN fantasy football user I know over to Yahoo because Yahoo's platform was simply better.
The layout was cleaner. The functionality was better. The player news was better. The draft room was simple, intuitive, fast, and actually enjoyable to use. It was everything ESPN wasn't.
Now you've completely changed it into something that looks and feels like an even worse version of ESPN's draft room.
Why change something that wasn't broken?

Please go back to old draft board
if unable to to go back to old draft board, please consider these changes.
When selecting a player to view their information, have that information back on the top and not covering up the players on the draft board. The new way makes it difficult to compare players on the draft board.
When queuing players and highlighting the stars, please keep the stars. Now the stars are replaced with the word draft. It doesn't make sense to highlight/fill a star only to have it disappear when your turn to draft. Or have it so I can organize my que by…

Draft Sounds
While drafting, it would be nice to be able to manually adjust the volume of the draft alerts/notifications rather than only having the option to turn the sound on or off.

FIX YOUR AUCTION DRAFT LAYOUT
Your fantasy football auction software used to be perfect. The bid number was right next to the bid timer. On the left side of the screen, you could see everyone's remaining budget without having to scroll and could easily swap to max bid with one click. For some reason, you removed these features. Now, the bid timer is nowhere near the player being bid on. The budgets for every team are horizontal toward the top of the screen and you have to scroll to see them all; you cannot see them all at once, which is really problematic when making…

Volume Toggle
Please add a volume toggle or bar for the mock draft / draft room. Poker Now has a good one to model.
Thank you for your feedback regarding adding a volume toggle for the draft room. If you are using web, the volume toggle can be found in the top right corner of the draft room. You can click on it to turn on or off the volume. If you are using the app, you can click on the settings icon in the top right corner of the draft room and you will see the toggle that says "Sound Effects".

Not everybody likes a dark screen for drafting
If you draft on the website it presents in dark mode with no way to switch to light mode. Not everyone likes dark screens. Especially as we get older. It causes eye strain.

Salary cap draft app for fantasy football needs a lot of work
Your new app for salary cap drafts for fantasy football needs a lot of work. The draft board is useless. You got rid of the view that shows you all the teams and what their budget is and how much money they have remaining to spend for their max bid. You need to put that screen back that shows you all the teams, max bids and how much money they have remaining. You also cannot see the player being drafted on each of the tabs at the bottom of the screen. That is a must have to use your app.…

Maximize the contrast and size of the draft board on presentation mode for fantasy draft.
The new presentation mode for fantasy drafts appears to have regressed. The draft board only shows 1-2 rows, you cannot minimize the side bars. The colors have no contrast. The whole purpose of this mode is to show large draft board for yahoo fantasy managers to view the draft board on a tv from afar and make selections on their devices. Any changes should be to maximize the contrast and size of the draft board and to minimize superfluous side bars, tabs, and advertisements. The current format is way too busy and needs to be either simplified or switched back…
