    How many people actually use the "Reset Form" button?

    How many people actually use the "Reset Form" button?
    Don't all raise your hands at once.



    Now how many erased their post by pressing Reset accidentally?

    This could be solved by asking "Are you sure you want to Reset?"
    or by simply removing the button.

            And silly me was looking for it in the "post reply" section

            Yes, there should be a pop-up confirmation window for the Reset Form

                How about using your brain and eyes before pressing any button ?

                    Hey Technoid,

                    sorry if you felt offended, but I just know to well from my own experience that I should do so for myself ...

                    It was just a little sarcasm on my own expenses, but I should have made that clear beforehand.

                    Best example is setting up a real huge playlist for winamp and instead of clicking the save button, I more than once hit 'new' and thought to myself "How about using your brain and eyes before pressing any button ?"



                    Sorry again, if it didn't come out in the funny mod it was intended to be seen.

                          Sorry

                          It's just that I get so darn irritated at it after 2 or 4 miss clicks

                          PS:
                          I have also done the Winamp mistacke

                            I hate accidentally hitting F5 in IE, which refreshes the page, losing the message.

                              The F5 button seems fairly out of the way.

                              And you did fool me because I deleted the "The" when I was thinking I was typing F5...
