A lot of people have been complaining about pressing that exit button in between REGISTER and SEND. I propose you remove it since there's that big X in the top right corner that we all love pressing, or have a notice when pressing it like "Are you sure you wanna exit?"
That notice would only serve to annoy people, especially if there was no option to disable it. I think people just need to be more careful about where they click. I've never pressed it by accident because you should only need to use Register sparingly as you register alts or whatnot. If you're using it a lot then you have too many alts. And if you're pressing Send to send your messages then you should learn about this novelty called the Enter key. You can press that to send your messages instead. I think it's fine as is and asking the developers to remove it or rearrange it would just add unnecessary to-do items to their workload when there are so many other things of far more importance.
Pressing the X does not redirect you to the Server Registry, the Exit button is therefore more convenient
I 'm with Meteor64, enter is way simpler (even without considering your claim) and it solves your problem. However it might be a good idea to have a "are you sure you want to exit" dialog. and considering the exit button isn't pressed (intentionally) often, that dialog won't be that annoying (but I'm still more into Meteor64's solution).
Well if people are insisting on this, then I wouldn't have a problem with it if it had some kind of checkmark for "Do not show this notice again", as many notices on various apps have. It could write the preference to the file or regval that the sim uses for other options. If that were included then I would have no problems with a notice about "are you sure you want to exit" because I do use the Exit button and would be annoyed to no end if there were a popup that I couldn't disable coming up every single time.
Bumping this after months//a year. Maybe the checkbox to "Show this message again" would be decent, though people are still having the same problems. Please fix :3
I don't even use send, and I would like a confirmation for exit key, pressed accidently so many times.
I also use the enter button, it's just that sometimes my windows get all stacked up and when you misclick that tiny button there, you end up exiting PO and possibly a battle.
I'll be implementing the confirm box which can will go permanently away if [x] don't show this again is clicked if it's fine to coyotte508. (I need to admit, I've pressed the exit button couple of times accidentally myself).
Yes, I have done it so many times, and many times in ladder matches with variations like +1 -32 that I was about to win. I am glad to see that there is going to be a confirmation added. Thanks Lamperi.
I think the main problem in removing it is aesthetics. There would just a giant blank spot where 'Exit' and 'Send' would be. You could always just maximize the battle screen if you seem to click Exit a lot.
I honestly think it should. I never hit send, but instead when I click the bar after viewing pages on the internet, my mouse slips and I hit Exit, causing me to miss the next game of Mafia or a tournament.
Though I multitask, and many other people multitask and have many windows open at the same time. Having the PO window maximized makes it hard to juggle multiple windows since you have to Alt+Tab or click the window itself, or maybe when you're in battle and part of the battle screen is close to the Exit button, one false click would end that battle losing your well earned points.
