Is it possible to provide confirm dialogue?

Post by arseneboardgame »

First, thanks for providing this place. It's nice to play with my friends here in async mode because everyone now is busy, not like the time when all of us were students; but we till can play when we have spare time - that keeps us in touch.

One problem, though it's not a big deal; however occasionally it's annoying. It sometime happens that when clicking one the screen, because of page is still in rendering or some reasons like I clicked and it's transiting to the next page, the click may be pointed to an unintended place. For instance, I played Gomoku with one of my friends, when I clicked on a place, at that very short instance of time point, the webpage suddenly move down so I nearly misclicked the point I want to. It's not a huge problem, but it's still kind of not so good experience.

So it would be nice if there is a confirmation dialogue popped up making sure the place or the point is exactly what a user wants.

Thanks

This is an annoying problem I've found particularly on the forum. No matter how long I wait, everything seems to jump at right the moment I click / tap, and I go to the wrong place. It's particularly bad on mobile but isn't great on desktop either. It's not the only site with this problem but it's probably the worst I've seen.

For me it's specific to the forum, I don't get it while playing a game.

And a confirmation dialogue every time you click a link is totally the wrong "solution". It would be just as annoying, in a totally different way - sure it might stop you going to the wrong page, but it doesn't help you go to the right one. At best you're doubling the clicks everyone has to make.

The solution is for BGA to fix the "jumping", if possible!

👍 That looks better if the place I click is exactly the move I want to have.

+1 FOR move confirmation button during the game
So many misclicks ruined my game of ponte
It could be an option to toggle on off when setting up table or for each user separately even better
