Changed position of Submit button

Can I urge IMDB not to tinker with the position of the buttons on the submission page. We have all got used to the buttons (left to right) being:

Re-check, Save, Submit

Now they have been changed to:

Submit, Re-check, Save

I have already accidentally submitted a half-completed submission because I instinctively pressed the left-most button, thinking that it was the Re-check button.

It's not the end of the world, but it will take a lot of un-learning to get used to the changed positions of the buttons.

Everyone's used to how you used to do it, so why change - it's only going annoy people.

For the sake of an extra button click, an "are you sure" confirmation is always a good idea. I'm surprised at the software which exists where doing something destructive (eg deleting a scheduled programme event from a video recorder) is not protected by "are you sure" - in the case I'm thinking of, this was discussed on a forum and the software developer said that he hated confirmation questions like this (a matter of personal ideology, by the sound of things!) and would not counternance the idea.

An "are you sure" confirmation is something that could help to avoid those accidental submissions. But for many, it is an unnecessary step. So probably not a clear answer to this one.

Let this put to rest the accusation that the IMDb staff DOES NOT LISTEN to contributors.  Thanks, staff.  Perhaps this will cause you to listen to contributors more in the future.
