.... I am hopeless. I not only hit the wrong button, but even after saying "Huh, why did the popup come up?" to myself... I hit the Ok button without a second thought. There goes ~20 ranking points.

<---- I'm with stupid.
I was a major back when 1600 was major. Now that I'm back, I get to easily win a bunch of games to get my rank. Thank the 'tards here who suck at this game.

That probably wouldn't work. I think I just lose at life on this one.

Although you will someday see me with 2000+ points if I can curb this habit. I am simply too good to let this keep me from 2k. :-D

There could be like 5 popups.

Do you want to end attacks?

Are you sure?

Do you want to begin forts?

Do you want to end forts?

Are you sure?


Im pretty sure this would help, but it would be annoying as hell. :?

New fail-safe BUTTONS!

Post by Jork »

I'm not as young as I used to be, and find that I make silly mistakes - repeatedly - like hitting the wrong button option. I dont think I'm totally alone in this and have had heard from other players that they do this from time to time as well.

How about something like - when you hit the "END ATTACK" button, for example, you recive a pop-up stating "Are you sure you want to end your attacks?" and then are given the "YES" - "NO" option!

Can we have this for crucial buttons, i.e., attack - fortification -, etc?

I'd GREATLY appreciate something like this!

PRIORITY 5

thanks!

I did....

"I have updated my Confirmation popup script to include the Auto-Attack button in addition to the original End Attacks and End Fortification buttons."

Get the new version here:

HOW DO I GET THE NEW VERSION? Or is that something that's coming our way?

Click that link. If you have greasemonkey then just click the install button on the page and Voila!, a confirmation for your attack and fort buttons.

Are you sure

Post by Qwaz »

When you press end attacks and end fortifications it would be nice if it asked you if you where sure...

especially if you had not made any attacks or fortifications, i just accidently pressed end attacks instead of auto attack, and theres no way to go back

I would never want to have to click an are you sure button and I don't think lack wants anyone to have to do it either. If you feel that you make mistakes too much you can get the script for yourself and be alleviated of the problem, but the general population who can function without it shouldn't need the extra hassel.

Are You Sure? Button

Post by magneticgoop »

I feel really retarded because instead of pressing "fortify" i pressed "end fortifications" leaving me totally vulnerable. On that note can we add a redundant are you sure you want to end fortification/attack mode with a Yes or no button?

this would prevent all of us from making those mistakes we all hate

Priority 3
