I was kibitizing a table and they were talking about they had accidentally hit the pass button wh en they were trying to hit a bid button....Now I know all of us most likely have had it happen

How about maybe changin the interface so the Alert boxes and Pass buttons change places...You will really have to miss now to accidentally hit the pass button or maybe move the pass and alert buttons to the other side of the table away from the bidding numbers and suit buttons.

Rather than changing the position of the button, I think it might make sense to show a "Bidding preview dialog box": "Are you sure your bid is xxx ?" with the Yes/NO Buttons.

This seems grossly inefficient and a waste of time. I would not be happy if i had to click on a bid, then click "yes" to an annoying popup asking me if I really meant to do this EVERY time I bid, especially since I bid alot lol. Would get annoying.

I am sure they would be a jlall version that only asks: "The bidding was 1♣-(P)-?. Are you sure you want to PASS?? yes/no"

Agree it wouldnt help though.

Maybe (as I've mentioned before) it could be an option. IE, a person can choose in their control panel (the one brought up by clicking the gear icon) whether they'd like a pop-up that asks if that was the bid intended.

This way, speed-demons like Justin are unimpeded, while the we more elderly people have a mechanism to help our deteriorating hand-eye coordination.

And while we're at it, a second option could be added to confirm cards played, too.
