Vote Prompts.

    Don't you find it annoying when you mean to upvote a save, but accidently click on the downvote? What's even more annoying is that you can't change it when you do. However I understand why your vote is kept permanent, So here is my suggestion :P

     

    My suggestion is pretty simple, a small "Are you sure you want to do this?" sign that appears when you up or down vote a save. If this was added it would be pretty much impossible to vote a save by accident.

     

    Or you could be more careful where you click... I suppose....

    An "Are you sure?" Checkbox would be good.

    Yeah, the usual "Are you sure? This cannot be changed." Message.

    Once I wanted to upvote and accidently downvoted, and the save was rly awesome D:

    It should ask you if you are sure you want to upvote, incase you clicked ^,and downvote in case you clicked V.

    Yes, it should obviously work both ways, not just on the downvote sign.

    No, what I am suggesting is, for example, if you click V it says something like 'Are you sure you want to downvote?', and if ^ it says 'Are you sure you want to upvote?', instead of just appearing 'Are you sure you want to do that?'

    I think the warning should only come up when you downvote, because people upvote a lot more often and downvoting should be a rare thing. Also, I wouldn't mind if someone accidentally upvoted on my save when they didn't mean to :D

    If the prompt came up every time, people would just get used to hitting ok or hitting enter automatically, and it would just be another annoying warning no one payed attention to.

    I think that's what he meant, it would ruin the point if it didn't obviously.

    True story. People ends up paying a lot of attention to downvotes because of those's rarity, so that's a good idea.

    That's a good point.

    I think this is a great idea, many a time it has been that I press downvote on a very good save D:
