I dont know if anyone else has this problem but it has happened to me several times. When I log in and the server is slow sometimes I double click because the screen isnt changing. However, just when I click again the screen switches and I end up opening a featured mystery because it is in the same place as the CONTINUE and PLAY SLEUTH prompts. Is there anyway to move this? Does this ever happen to anyone else? Sometimes I dont have time to play a featured mystery and I hate losing a case. Can a prompt be added to make sure you want to open a featured mystery?

I don't mind adding a "are you sure" confirmation for featured mystery starts. Should we do it for random mysteries as well, or are people not generally accidentally starting those?

...and 14 minutes for me to have stuffed my foot in my mouth on the whole "it won't change" thing. Thanks for the public pants-ing, Ben :)

Wow, this is great. Almost like Santa Claus personally delivering a gift you asked for!!

And I must be really impatient, I have accidentally started a random mystery before as well. But the Featured Mysteries has happened ALOT.

I have occasionally accidentally started both random and featured mysteries, before, but not very often. I can see it being an issue though. What *I* would love, Ben, since this has come up, is an "are you sure?" button when you click the "Capture Villain" button in an AVH. I have accidentally clicked that button before and been a very sad panda afterwards.

While we're on the subject, it would be nice if somewhere on the case page it listed whose case it was originally. I'm always nervous about losing track of whose case I'm helping out with in my agency.

What Barry means is when we open cases that belong to other detectives in our agencies in order to help them out.

And yes! that has happened to me too. It would be a GREAT little tool to have!

I thought I would slip in here a little reminder about a subject that has been raised before - a list on the Detective page of Featured Mysteries already solved. I can't for the life of me remember which ones I have solved and which ones I haven't. And if you have a double, it's doubly hard (pun intended) to keep track.
