Need some sort of confirmation button after pressing 'delete'

September 1, 2002 3:38 PM from

Just recently I was updating a wallpaper and accidently pressed the 'delete' button. Boom, gone!

No confirmation of deletion, just gone.

Maybe a secondary confirmation screen would be a good idea for just such mistakes.

I've uploaded the file again, but it will now appear as a new wall when in reality it is just an updated, 'old' one. Oh well!

It's just like that cancel button in skinbrowser. You think it would cancel your last command when it just closes you out. What a bitch.

Yeah, i did that once too when i was updating a WinStyles .Suite. Funny though people could still download it after i deleted it. It was the featured Screenshot that day

Motion - I did that recently with one of my NextStart Themes.
I e-mailed T-Man and he recovered my Theme without any loss to rating or d/l's

It's just a simple little wall I made a while ago to go with my Indigo WB skin. I only got a few hundred downloads, so I'm not too concerned.

Mostly, I posted this thread to see if a confirmation screen was a possiblility in the future. It would reduce these kind of mistakes (I'm a bit reckless with the mouse sometimes

)
and it would probably reduce T-Man's work a bit.

Like I said, not a big deal. Won't really have any effect on my download totals in the long run. Not that I care about that stuff anyways.

A confirmation box or screen would be nice. I think there should be a suggestion box on this site.

I'll make sure this suggestion is in the Janitor's In-tray for Monday morning...
