That will be thebest innovation in my view. I like dealing with about 7-8 states but usually i post all states because I hate having to repeat the same task 8 times...

Thanks Todd for this great site and all you do to let it stay cutting edge.

I will definitely be changing the post predictions page to make it much, much easier, and you will be able to do things like choosing a block of states to post to.

peice of cake copy whatever predictions you want. then click resources up top of this page and drop them in the deflator click deflate and copy the out put the commas will be gone.

I have a question about the prediction page..

Is there any way it can be set up like the deflation page where you can copy and paste numbers..

For example..

say your work out came out with these numbers

153, 255, 226, 222

Right now we have to copy paste these... then put each to its own line and remove the commas..

very time consuming..

Importantly, if anyone ever notices it -- even if one number is missing -- please let me know. At this point I would have had to majorly miss something in order for a posting error to occur.

As I had mentioned above, if it detects an error, it should cleanup everything you just attempted to post, so it would be as if you never tried posting those picks at all.

Thanks Todd for the prediction posting insurance, it is much appreciated.

Partial posting happened to me the other day (on a good day too ).

ah that's good news i just looked at the predictions i posted for all states last night and noticed that most of my pick 3's didn't post for all states. usually i check them and make corrections if they didn't go through.

now we woln't have to worry bout it.

Your the man

I made another change to the post predictions page today to hopefully prevent partial posting. It did not happen all the time, but sometimes when the database was especially busy some all states predictions only posted to some of the states. What was happening was the post was taking so long (due to database activity) that the code stopped functioning.

The new code I implemented today does three things:

Eliminated some overhead from the database functions to speed up the performance (so
