Can you please remove, or at least set it as a user-defined option, the incredibly annoying exit message ""Are you sure you want to leave Bridge Base Online?"?

If I didn’t want to leave I wouldn’t have exited!

use google chrome then you don't get the warning At least not on my system

I get "Are you sure?" in both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. Not that I mind that at all, just saying that it must somehow be an option in Google Chrome.

This was implemented after feedback that it was much too easy to leave BBO accidentally, so is unlikely to go.

Maybe you can just stay in BBO all day, then this message won't pop up.

Exactly.

The Back key of BBO and the Start key of the computer is at almost exactly the same place. It is very easy to strike wrong key.
- I for example do often so, as I routinely do surf when logged on BBO, or even watching on BBO, but there is some uninteresting deal.


EDIT.

Onother common reason to leave unintentionally is. Im somewhere, and want to go back to lobby. I hit quickly the back-key several times - and once too much...
Good there is an automatical brake - asking me if I really want to leave the BBO.


Writing this, I recognize the Back key doubles also as the log-off key.
It is this that makes it necessary for this leave-question.
With an entirely different key it wouldnt be necessary - it is perhaps true.

But as it is, it is much OK.

supposedly you're doing hundreds times more clicks in BBO per login then two clicks to log out, and you wish to economize one of them.

No need to be sarcastic. People have every right to expect systems to behave in ways that seem easiest for them. As a programmer I was constantly aware of how a poor choice I made once would be inflicted on users thousands (in BBO many millions) of times.

There are really multiple issues here: There is (1) the protective response when you try to surf out of the page where Flash BBO is running and (2) the prompt that appears when you explicitly click the Log off button.

What I've seen suggests that (1) does NOT happen in Chrome, but does in Firefox and IE. It's OK with me if that's considered a bug (in Chrome or Flash or BBO) and gets fixed. Others might have another viewpoint.

However, when I explicitly click Log off I think my order should be immediately carried out. For crying out loud, the whole purpose of the Flash client was to make logging in a quick and easy operation. It's simply not a big deal to be returned to the login screen. If it's made a user-controllable option (even under the Advanced tab) that's OK, too, but I want no prompt.
