Recently there have been some problems with gamefinder and blackbox activation.

While R teams can still arrange matches via chat, B teams just need to select teams and hit enter on your keyboard, and even if there's no button shown in the activation page, your activation will work.

I don't remember who found this out first, but as a B addicted I wanted to share it to make B draws go on in any case!

Enjoy

EDIT: here is all you need to do/know to play:

- it seems you need to use Firefox to do it
- if you've activated the past draw, you'll need to deselect, then select again the teams you want to play (even just one)
- activating out of the regular time will be de-activated by the bot at the beginning of the regular activation time

I suggested that in chat but neither for me nor anyone else it had any effect to press enter. We saw some shadowy activations at times but most didn't believe me it was still possible. Noone ever stepped forward and some argued it was Christer trying to activate.

Probably you were out of the 5 mins time range. Going this way, if you've a link to the activation page, you may activate at any time. However the Bot will de-activate your teams at the beginning of the regular 5 minutes, so you'll need to activate at the proper time.
Doing this way now I've seen the draw going from 0 to 1 coach: no proof it was me but I guess so!

Yeh this was the first thing to spring to mind but it doesn't work for me either. Just made a 'bing' sound. Definately within the 5 minute activation slot.

That's strange: in the last draw we got to 2 coaches activated... maybe it depends on browsers or something (i.e. no idea)
