I've noticed a lot of threads where "money has supposedly gone missing" after using the VS Seeker only for someone to realize that they chose Platinum instead of Training. Most of the responses are just "LOL HURR PAY ATTENTION 2 WAT UR DOIN KAY???"
So why can't we just change the Training option's location, make it so where it's above Bronze. It doesn't really make sense for the options to go up in stakes only to plummet at the bottom for Training. Why not make it in order AND eliminate the "just lost my money due to Training and Platinum mix-up" threads? --------------------   |

I wouldn't mind this at all. I use Training more than any other division.

Simple but great idea. No reason not to move it.
And lol at QUOTE(xZIPPERMOUTH @ Oct 18 2010, 07:51 PM)  "LOL HURR PAY ATTENTION 2 WAT UR DOIN KAY???" The sad thing is that five people (and probably people that I recognize from this subforum for posts like this) would've made a comment like that. =/ -------------------- |

I approve of this suggestion as well.
In a previous thread where it was also suggested, someone mentioned the idea of letting users customize the order of the drop-down list. While I don't feel this is strictly necessary, I wouldn't be opposed to it, either. --------------------  |    It is pitch black.

Couldn't resist to make the cliche response :P
Most of these cases are due to carelessness and could be solved by closer attention.... Now lets get serious closer attention wont happen, even if some people pay attention not everyone will and we will still have people complaining about points disappearing in the bugs section  So this suggestion is indeed necessary, however you can't argue with "just pay more attention" responses.

And conversely, I've had the problem of accidentally putting my Pokemon in training when I was just trying to change the strategy... usually catch myself, but I'm pretty sure it's happened once or twice.

Even though it is not as bad, I find myself sometimes almost putting pokemon in bronze just because it is the first on the list. Though it is not as much money, it can still be annoying.

I don't really see the point... people can just pay attention to what they click. If it gets moved elsewhere, that doesn't fix the problem of not paying attention, all it does is lessen the penalty for it, really, yup yup.
