Changes at TQS

Guys,

It looks like TQS is updating the website. Because of this, my functionality has been seriously impaired. As of right now, my Commissioner access has not been restored in the Not Ready for Prime Time League, and also I have no idea how to change players' salaries - or for that matter, even if I will be able to. It also bothers me that, unlike in the past, TQ Stats does not seem as responsive to e-mails and voice mail messages, as they have been in the past.

The thought of switching sites has crossed my mind more than once. Last year at this time I scouted out potential new services, but the problem was that they all seemed too restrictive to what we do (i.e., ESPN's site doesn't have a category for Net Strikeouts.) All-Star Stats seems like a good option, but the price ($35 PER TEAM) is prohibitive.

At this point I am open to any and all ideas. Frankly, if you guys wanted to switch to CBS or ESPN and say "screw it" with respect to certain flexibility, I'd probably be good with that. I do agree, it is frustrating to me that they would launch this upgrade so close to the regular season, and that there are still issues and bugs and very little support.
