Oops! I left my civgroup!

[Shiber]

A lot of people, myself included, have experienced the frustration in accidentally clicking on 'Leave' near the civgroups links, by either going for the 'Private Forum' link and missing or just clicking by accident.
This has happened to members of the PTWDG teams and the Apolyton ISDG team.
This becomes a problem when you are a member of a restricted group (such as the two abovementioned groups) and need to be reauthorized back (pressing 'Join' is not sufficient to rejoin the group and enter its private forum and such). This means that due to a silly accident you can't enter your team's private forum until the civgroup leader reauthorizes you, and this must also be a hassle for the civgroup leaders (Beta can tell you how many requests per week he gets from people who have accidentally left the ISDG).

A simple solution would be to insert a confirmation page before leaving a civgroup. Currently you just have to press a small link to leave, but the problem would be solved if after you pressed the 'Leave' link, you would be asked to confirm your choice by pressing some big, red, shiny, candy-like button (such as the one that erases history from that episode of Ren & Stimpy... uhh, nevermind).

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place. Please feel free to stone me if I did.

Or could just aim your mouse a little better.

Seriously though, this is probably a good suggestion.

That's a hilarious problem. Let me in!!

[Shiber]

I agree, it is funny. I had my good share of laugh out of this problem.

The thing is, it's funny the first time, and it's funny the second time, but the third time it gets annoying...
And I know for a fact that I'm not the only idiot that did this three times.

Héhé, finally, he's gone

Best thing is to put it in your favourites, much easier...ciao...

I haven't seen you posting much on the GS private forum lately... don't tell me you've accidentally left too!

At home, I use the links bar in Opera for most of the forums that I keep track of and it's very handy, but at work I usually enter the private forum through the links at the top of the PTWDG public forum page. Which is usually when I press leave...

hi ,

just PM or email a mod or owner shiber , ......

have a nice night

[Method]

i havn't left my team, but when trying to access a private forum, i have many times left the ACDG civgroup, though totally irrelevant as it is nowadays

[Shiber]

Panag, Thanks for your words of unique wisdom and advice that I couldn't have ever thought of myself ( ), but I already tried that a while ago and they didn't get back to me.
I was hoping that a mod checks this forum from time to time (Ming for instance?) and would bring this up to the current site admin (DanQ?).

[badams52]

You're in luck Shiber. Both DanQ and Ming check this forum, so you could receive an answer. If you don't it's probably because it's been asked about many times or it's very low on the priority list.

Hope that helps.

[Nubclear]

I have this same problem. Once.

[Shiber]

Thanks badams, for the useful info.
Thanks Tass, for showing the first shred of sympathy in this thread.

[Rasbelin]

Hehehe... DG people have DG'ish problems... Indeed; aim better.
