    I know this is kind of a dumb thing to post, but I just thought it was wierd and interesting. 

    Go look right now at the first page of this website. On the left hand side you usually see the 2011 mock draft lottery. Except right now for some odd reason, the 2012 mock draft lottery is shown. Yeah that’s right the 2012 mock draft lottery, and draft lottery for the 2011 draft has not even happened yet nor has the 2011 draft happened. 

    What is this site trying to do? Are they trying to make us look forward to the 2012 draft class, after having such a mediocre 2011 draft class? I just thought it was wierd, and since most people don’t even look at the first page, I just thought you ought to know, and maybe have a laugh.

     It is a newly updated 2012 mock lottery so they most likely put it up there for that reason.

     @apb540, I know its newly updated, but even when they updated it before like last week, they still showed the 2011 mock draft lottery on the first page. So this is not normal. This has never happened this early. I know cuz I use the first page as a bookmark. So I see it whenever I go on this site. And this is the first I’ve seen next year’s draft class shown this early, when this year’s draft has not even happened, let alone the order for it.

    They do this from time to time. Don’t read too much into it.

     Darn now they’ve changed it back to the 2011 mock draft lottery. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.

     Hi there, it’s the tech team here – could somebody let me know what "raw form" is, exactly? We are trying to figure out what the problem is, so a detailed description would be very helpful!

    Thanks!

    And why are you the one asking the computer terminology questions?  A little disturbing…

    You know  when you build a website, You have to write out the code, It sometimes shows up like that, and then sometimes it shows up normal without the background, point graphics

    Basically nothing but words load.  Like everyone’s pictures, the logo at the top of the page, the thumbs up/down, and anything else like that doesn’t load.  Plus the page will be like 3x as long.  I had the problem a lot the past 2 days but nothing yet today.

     Hi scott, thanks – so you mean you are not seeing images, and just plain text, or you actually see the code?

    thanks for your help!

    Like there was no graphics, only text.  You can’t see any GIF’s and there aren’t any Thumb-up boxes either.

    yeah basically. I see the code version only on the mock draft part, everything else is just plain clickable text
