several times now, I've right clicked a player to end turn or something, and slipped with the mouse, selecting a square on the pitch...which is usually a bad dodge or a gfi (or both), as I'm ending the turn.
I don't know what can or should be done to help avoid this situation..I know it's me slipping with the mouse, but it is annoying when it happens, maybe disallow moving to a square clicked on if the right click menu was open?? I don't know. |

rightclick and leftclick does the exact same thing in the client. Just for your knowledge. |

yeah Xeterog, good point. I think this would be a positive addition for the new client |

But only when it happens to the opponent? |

So what would fix this, a huge field like those telephones with big buttons for grannies? Or a popup that ask you if you really want to move the player each time you click? :p |

I'm trying to use the keyboard shortcuts. Very useful for ending turn and selecting actions from a menu. |

I think it may have something to do with the fact that macs usually have only one mouse button. If I remember correctly, many developers on the site use macs. It is of course really nice to have a really platform independant game, is it not? |

I want a popup when I activate my teams. "The box is full mb-po-claw at the moment. Are you sure you want to activate?" 
On topic: I can see your point, but I would advocate keyboard shortcuts as well. Though I can't see that disabling the right button would influence Mac-usability in any way. (the computer, not the postbot  ) |

Mainly because it is more bugproof to just track one type of clicks. Just ask On1 about it.
And another argument is the platform independence.
And to sort out left and right-click from eachother is not really needed, the game itself is so simple when it comes to commands, so dividing them into two different is not really needed. |

hell, i want a scroll wheel that cycles through my players, and thumb buttons set to roll 6's.
Why stop with just the 2 buttons? |

What about ESC to unselect a player or end the movement/action? |
