any way to disable (or remove) "randomize names?"

mitchkenn · 08-09-2022, 04:41 PM

i know this is a minor thing - but over the past month, i've hit "randomize names" instead of "rescout" tab .... and had to restore my game from a back-up (which thankfully i've had and only lost a week of games and edits each time.) today i lost 4 hours of edits to my upcoming draft class as well as a week of sims.

i doubt there is a way to remove that box, but if it could be disabled - that would be nice. Anyone have ideas, other than saving and backing up after every edit, which as large as my league has become is about 10-15 mins to save a back-up.

You could run the Re Scout from the "Global Settings" Tab instead of from the "League Settings" Tab.

Is there not a confirmation prompt on "randomize names"? That feels like something that should have one.

Quite a few things should have a confirmation prompt and then a setting to turn that off if we like

yes, a confirmation prompt would be nice. in fact possibly should be required. But Bluenoser's note of where else you can rescout was invaluable info for me. Nearly caught up on the data i lost yesterday and not one hiccup using the Global Settings scouting updater .... again a large thank you, Sir, for that info.
