On the player pick status page, it says 'players are automatically sent an email reminder 24 hours before the pick deadline'.  I have had serveral players in my league tell me they are not receiving this email.  I tried it this week and I also didn't get the reminder.  It worked last year, but doesn't seem to be working now.  I know there is a manual send reminder button, but can the automatic process be fixed?

Steve, I indeed found a problem, all leagues after league ID 5542 were not getting the email reminders. The problem has been fixed and you should see the reminder email provided you haven't made your pick. Thanks for reporting this!

Thank you for the quick response.  I was going to post a suggestion in a separate thread, but I'll just do it here.  Each week, I have people who ask me who people picked because they are too lazy to go to the website.  It would be nice to have a button I could click sometime after the pick deadline that would send an email to everyone in the league with the picks for the week.  I have been taking screenshots and copying all the addresses from the 'email league' screen to send out the picks.  Not sure what problems this would introduce or how difficult it would be - just throwing it out there.  Great work on the site!
