All I can do is to check the box next to their name but, afterwards, I cannot submit the list. I tried logging out and then back in again but that didn't help at all.

No problems for me and I just double-checked. What browser are you using? Their page is pretty simple javascript so it should work without too much complication. Try Firefox or another browser.

I was using Firefox (same browser and computer that I always use).

I'll try another browser and, if that doesn't work, I'll try it on my laptop.

Worked on my laptop. That was weird.

I reinstalled Java on my desktop but, even after that, I still cannot get it to work using Firefox on that computer. I check IE on that system though and it worked fine. Not sure what has gone wrong with Firefox though.

That happened to me in Madagascar, when bandwidth and speed were awful. It posed all sorts of problems.

Everyone remember to get their picks in for this weekend's race.

Paul Menard moves to RCR in 2011. And he'll take his father's sponsorship (Menard's home improvement stores) with him.

Wonder what Richard Petty Motorsports will do to replace him.

Bizzarre. Side note for you: Java and JavaScript are totally different beasts so reinstalling Java won't affect any JavaScript content.

Thanks for that, I thought they were the same. I'll try to download javascript from somewhere to see if that fixes it as the problem still exists today with Firefox.

There is no download, which is part of the beauty.

Shitty. How do I fix it then? Should I reinstall Firefox?

It could've just been an intermittent issue. Try clearing your cache and going back to the page.

I tried that and it didn't work. I did some more digging around and it seems that the latest javascript update only works with Firefox 3 or newer and I use an older version because I really don't like the way the address bar functions in newer versions. So, apparently, my version of Firefox is too old. If only the newer versions were any good I'd upgrade but I dislike all the ones I've seen lately so I will stick with my older version and will use IE or Opera to make my NASCAR picks.

If it's IE, I am sure you will use up your JPM, Logano, Mears, and Ragan selections over the next two months. ;)

Looks like a couple of folks did not change their picks from last week. That or we have some Said-heads here.

Kahne takes the pole, JJ 2nd, Bowyer 3rd, and Smoke 4th.

55 laps in on this 200 lap race, it's been mostly Biffle, but the lead pack of five are all running well (Harvick, JJ, Smoke, Truex). Harvick is close.

Kurt Busch is out of the race.

Rain sprinkle caution right now. Blech moved up to 4th with a great pit stop.

Burton and Kenseth in the top 15.
Bowyer, KK, and JPM in the top 10, but Truex is falling back.

Mark Martin having all sorts of trouble with his car... he's in 34th.

Smoke leading very well. With 95 laps to go, Smoke, Harvick, Biff, Bowyer, Blech, and Kahne all racing well. Blech is racing well because of his pit crew.

Watching/listening to the Reds on TV...

Is ti too late for me to move Harvick off the bench?

You're winning today's race anyway.

CRAZY lead changes on the last yellow. 31 laps to go:
Smith, Smoke, Truex, JPM, Harvick
AND NOW ANOTHER yellow.
