This is not a question...just a comment...

It would be very helpful if you click on a `delete`button (either to delete a question, survey etc.) that a confirmation box could appear to confirm your request. I recently finished creating a 45 question survey and wanted to delete a question and accidentally deleted the survey. I had to re-program it from the beginning. Our current survey software has this function. It would be very useful.

Thanks.

Hi!

I don't want to be smart-ass - but when you trying to delete a survey you are getting this huge message box asking you if you really want to do that - except if the survey has no questions yet - then it is deleted without asking.

You know what, I need to clarify further...it wasn`t when I tried to delete the survey...it was when I deleted the `group` (which had 39 plus questions attached) in error, there was no warning message that came up.

There was no message box that came up when I deleted this group...not sure what you are talking about.

Well, you can add me to the list and I'm sure I'm not the only one...

I had 10 questions in a group, I needed to delete a bunch of them so I started, and yes the message pops up, BUT after the second message users just OK it. On the 3rd delete, I pressed the wrong icon and I accidentally deleted the group.

The logic of the interface is great BUT doesn't follow through all the way. At group level, you have icons that are related to group tasks and on the right you have the icon and the drop down list that relate to the questions... all on the same line. And I bet it confuses a lot of people. Maybe to find out, a survey(!) could help...

Add to that several layers of identical icons, it's easy to mess up.

So either an undo functionality or a logical GUI layout (I mean logical to the end) would be great. At least for newbies who would like to save the frustrations of learning the quirks the hard way...

To go even further, making the Survey/group/Question titles a little bit more prominent would help. Otherwise the software is great, I love it an I plan to support it.

My 2 cents.
