Asunto: Feature request
I have some backgammon feature requests and would like to discuss them here before sending them to Fencer.

Request #1 :
Having to do two clicks instead of one when accepting or rejecting a cube offer. It could be a "are you sure?" question, but I think that the simplest would be a radio button or listbox selection "accept/reject", and then a button "Send the cube decision".
The reason is of course that I sometimes accept by mistake cubes that I intended to reject. I found out why : I make my decision to reject the cube, and then want to drop some lines to my opponent in the text box. After I am done writing, I click on the left button below the text box thinking it is a "send" button, like with many text boxes on Internet forms.

Or am I just dumb, and does it happen only to me ?

That is you accept or decline the double.

Then after that, the text box comes where you can type and submit the move. (or cancel the decision and go back to accept/reject again?

nabla: I actually wait until the next frame to send a message, since messaging on the reject doesn't show up in a useful place.

For instance if you sent a note to me after rejecting a double I would never read it, since I just delete the annoying messages without opening (in mid game - at the end of the match i will read the message).

grenv: That sounds like a good policy to me, that I will adopt immediately. But then, maybe the textbox would better not be there.
BBW, about #1 : Sure you can't cancel your cube decision ! It would be a different game if you could decide whether to cube after seeing your dices.

nabla: BEFORE you submit, you can cancel - I'm pretty sure. So if you make a mistake when you click accept/decline, you get a text box to "submit" your move - at that point, I'm almost positive there is a cancel option.

... will have to wait until someone doubles me in a game to make sure I know what I'm talking about.... since I might be wrong.

OK, forget what I said - I was wrong. Just quickly looked, and what I was thinking of is when you make an offer to double, you get a second box to make sure.

When you accept and decline, it is like you said - once wrong click and opps. So forget what I said, I like the request also - someway to make sure you don't lose a game because of a stupid accedent - and you lose a game because you got beat like it should be.

nabla: At DG I sometimes misclick [Double] instead of [Roll] so I have confirmations switched on for offering the cube but never for accepting the cube. Any feature implemented as an option in the backgammon settings would get my vote. As something compulsory it wouldn't.
