Aysz88, that makes perfect sense. I hadn't thought about that. I don't buy stocks, so I didn't realize that was how it worked. A process involving one click would automatically buy the stocks for me. No window comes up asking if that is what I want to do before the transaction takes place. Perhaps Neopets needs to take all of their one click transactional processes and require them to be two clicks. That would solve the problem. Though it might mess up Neodaq's excel spreadsheet program.

To be honest, I don't think the buy stock process was actually intended to be one-click. Normally, the first click would be to the "buy" form, and then the second click would be the "buy stocks" button on that form. But apparently there wasn't any code that was checking whether the "buy" order was truly coming from the form. That's why I asked about the "oops! directed from wrong page" error - inserting that catch would help guarantee that stock purchases are coming from the actual form (and, in effect, make it two-click).

By the way - Neodaq's sheet doesn't do one-click buys, so it wouldn't break it.

The way the Spreadsheet works, I don't believe it would. I think the Macros just pull information from your portfolio, they have nothing to do with actually buying them.

I don't think Neodaq would do anything really. If only you had to enter a PIN when buying stocks, that might solve it.

That's a great idea. Pins are missing on a few things. Like trades, for example. I often have very expensive things in trades. I can lock everything else up, but not my trades.
