a lot of people complain that there are too many confirmation prompts around the site, usually citing this as a reason not to add more. but instead of that, what about actually analyzing which ones truly are unnecessary? confirmation prompts are handy for irreversible (or very difficult to reverse) actions, such as changing a pet's species/color/gender, or using a one-use item. but there are some we may be able to do without.

suggested changes or removals attaching a minion to a pet - can be removed

sticking to a friend's collection - can be moved to next page, or removed altogether

adopting a pet from the adoption center - can be moved to next page, or removed altogether

adding to a collection - maybe? (an irreversible action, but unlikely to do by accident.)

idk if this would happen, but i think it's certainly something to consider. feel free to add prompts you also find especially unnecessary and think could be removed; i'll keep a list going up here.

Full support! The sticker popup is ridiculous. I'd love for it to either be moved to the right page or (preferably) removed altogether.

Add to a collection. I think it's very unlikely to be on those items pages without the purpose to add them to a collection..

when in the adopt-r-us, you get the "are you sure" pop-up when clicking adopt buttons on the home page, but it just takes you to a second page (/explore/adopt.php?act=adopt&petid=???) where you see stats/adoption fee and the "real" adopt button. that second adopt button (/explore/adopt.php?act=adopt_final&petid=???) - the one that takes your money and fills your pet slot - does not have a pop-up.

like with stickers, i think the "are you sure" pop-up should be moved to the second page (act=adopt&petid=???) or just removed.

Agreed. I've come across useless/unnecessary confirmations, but can't quite remember where. I'll post again when/if I come across any.

I agree with this Suggestion. Restocking is so much more fun without all the extra clicky, and all these other features can do without it too.

Sticker, adoption and collection confirmations are totally unnecessary. Get rid of them.
