New Far better solution
..would have been a confirmation popup, or a rollback to the previous state, given the testiness over popups. The latter idea is probably the "correct" way to do it.

New Re: Far better solution
You're pretty free with scheduling my time. A rollback? Screw that. The current hack took 5 minutes, removed the problem a lot of users were having, and added significantly useful functionality.

This is a PROTOTYPE.

It isn't the final PRODUCT.

Somebody save my life
