Ok, so I am old and sometimes miss the target but it would really be nice to either have a "ARE YOU SURE" flag on the delete button, or move it to another spot if that is possible.
When I have done it on quick posts in the past it wasnt that bad and the first time I wiped out a 5000 character post forever it was anoying but since then I have nailed 3 big posts and a freeware thread starter which has now exceeded my patience. I know its my own fault for hitting the wrong spot on the screen but if someone could look into what could be done to make the delete button a bit safer for old and blind users that would be great.
Been there, done that...
What I will do if I find I'm making a pretty long post is open MS Word and cut/paste the text as a temporary backup, then delete it when done. It's saved my bacon several times...Re: THE DELETE POST BUTTON.....

It's part of the YABB software. I don't think it is configurable.
Maybe the next version will take care of it. You do have a good point.

LOL!
So true!!

More like the "Adjust Seat" and "Eject" buttons!

Fortunately a web forum doesn't have you crashing to a firey death if you push the wrong button ... :D
This could be edited by a good perl coder ... but not within Admin options. Layout is set.
As John said - new version coming out that may address this
(remember MS programs have delete & paste right next to each other in the the Edit dropdown list & who hasn't hit the wrong option there too?
