Yeah, I get it.

Money well spent, imo, and happy to support an excellent product.

Have you had any issues with it updating/refreshing??

Occasionally it stalls, but gets fixed very quickly. Runs smoothly generally.

 

[Deledio2Conca]

Yep I got it too, love it.

 

[sblack]

What is so good about it. What does it give you that a simple Boxscore cannot

 

[Catsace]

Just the aspect that it is live updates, if i get the chance to check out how my side is going when the games are being played (work commitments aside) it's good to be ble to flick from your own team's matchup, to any individual game channell, and to opponent's score matchups. For about $15 Aussie it's pretty good value.

You do need Adobe flash player to run it, i think version 9 is the latest one, my computer prompted me to upload that a week ago or so.

I love it too and think its worth the money, but I have a problem running it at work. The page loads but it wont update/refresh by itselfs.

It works at home without a problem but I only get to use it on the weekend.

I think it's a firewall issue at work, but I would like to know if anyone has any problems with it while at work.

Might be a firewall or browser issue. Try getting another browser and seeing how it goes.

I've tried FireFox, IE7, IE8 and Google's Chrome. And I've tried 3 different PC's.

I'd say it would be a firewall thing at work. At my Uni it does the same thing that you speak of.

I'm trying to find out from Yahoo what port needs to be opened for it to work. But haven't got a response.

 

[grimlock]

It's definitely a firewall thing for the live updates.

I wasn't too impressed with the previous versions, but this one was excellent when using it during the free period. I think I will stump up the cash for it.

I like the look of the new Flash design, but because it doesn't work for me, I would be happy to go back to the old Java based StatTracker.

 

[grimlock]

The thing is, I don't get why they have the use another port and not just port 80.;

Yeah that's right, 80 is the port for http so it makes sense to use that.

 

[grimlock]

Well you can do what I do and refresh the page which is silly. The thing is how does the initial data get into the app in the first place?

im to stingy to fork out the cash

this is a pretty good script that does the job pretty well

 

[Alphanumeric]

Well I got a response from Yahoo!

If you are behind a corporate firewall, please contact your systems administrator or IT department. If you have a personal firewall, please open port 843, 1843 and 11999 or disable the firewall entirely (or lower your security settings) when using StatTracker.

To get people to open three different ports or to disable your firewall just to access the site is a joke.

How do you get it to work?? I've installed GreaseMonkey and installed the script.

What do I do next??

 

[jumse]

you click on your teams page and where the lik for stat tracker used to be there is a button that says "Show freebie stats!".

it also works if you click on other teams you can see there stats for the day.

 

[wheels4]

when u download greasemonkey open it in firefox.
then install it on firefox (a link will pop up after u open it in firefox)

then after that is done open the script in firefox
do the same and install it

then go to your team and where it used to say stattracker it will now say show freebie stats.

doesnt show much. only stats doesnt actually tell you their fantasy score. here it is,

 

[raffrox]

Stattracker is worth the cash though.

Seeing the ladder live update for roto leagues is pretty cool imo.

For $15 AU per year I'd rather just pay Yahoo to be honest.

I dont do either, i just tryed that out because some guy said it before me.

$15 is a rip just to check stats, you can just add your players stats up for free. paying $15 is really desperate if u ask me for stats on the internet
