Yes, here is what you can do.

When you set the roster limits, include a "dummy" player, maybe at UT. Then using the add keepers, add in a player that you know won't be drafted (there has to be one, we project a ton of players). if your league is incredibly deep, you can make up players and add them to the spreadsheet you use to upload projections.

If a team ACQUIRED salary in a deal, put that amount as a NEGATIVE salary for the keeper. The program will subtract a negative number, which algebraically is adding the positive number, so the team will have additional salary. If the team TRADED AWAY salary, add a dummy keeper with that amount of POSITIVE salary and that will be subtracted.

This should work.

If it doesn't work using keepers, I know it will work if you add the players on to the team in this manner using the regular auction draft page.

No matter waht i set the screen resolution to, I have fields rolling over each other so that you cannot read them or words get cut off.

When you say setting screen resolution, do you mean via the DraftMasters app? I had the same issue and had to change the resolution on my monitor itself.

I think the answer is both. I have tried both screen resoultion options in the software itself and they have the same result. My screen monitor is set at the highest resolution 1600 x 900 I think. I did try and reduce that at first but it did not resolve the issue. Frankly, I am not really keen on changing screen resolution for the app alone since that creates issue with look and feel of other items.

Understood.

This is not my area of expertise. I do know that it works fine on my laptop, but on my desktop which has a 23" or 24" monitor, I needed to make the resolution on the monitor to be 1200x768 or 1200x800 with the option setting on the app to be 1024x768. And when I was done, I would change the resolution back to what I was used to on my monitor.

I have tried most combos (monitor & software) and it does not impact the issue.

We are working on resolving the screen resolution; watch this forum daily. We may have a solution in a day or two.

The issue seems to be related to font size. Could it be that the font size is set to LARGE or, possibly, to a percent larger than 100%?

I'm in a keeper league, is there a way to show the value of the keeper when you add him to a team? So one would know at a glance if you have extra value in that slot. If player x value is $10 and you are going to keep him at $5, could it show a +$5 for him along with his salary? :)
Always make'em think you are smarter than you are, but never let them know how smart you really are.
League is a 15 team,$260 draft cap, mixed auction with 10 NL,10 AL teams to draft from(rockies, Astros, Cubs, Marlins, Phillies,Brewers, Rangers, Rays, Balt, and KC CANNOT DRAFT FROM). 5 cat. standard scoring except use IP in place of Ks.

Sorry, there is not a means to do this.
