This is a repost of something I put in the main forum. I have little hope of getting it looked at there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ihave noticed several problems with the personal Vendors.

1) The radial menu is just not designed well. The "Remove Vendor" button is the first one listed under the menu along with all the other normally used commands. It is also listed right under "Status" which is a very often used button and is easily clicked on (which I did). Not only that, but if you do accidently click on the "Remove Vendor" button, it does just that. Instantly. With no confirmation. That is just plain wrong.

My suggestion is just to move "Remove Vendor" to its own little area, and alsoto make you confirm the selection. Also, just as a note, this has nothing to do with "Delete confirmation". I have Crafting Confirmations off, but Delete confirmations on.

2) Another bug. Through all this mess I have been dealing with since I had the above happen to me, I have lost basically all the items I had for sale. Also, to compound this, I didn't know I had and my vendor has been "empty". Let me elaborate...

When you place a new vendor to replace the one you accidently deleted, it APPEARS that all your items are still there. Great!Wonderful!

But no.See the default is for it to show "This Region" under where you are searching. Now, if I switch to "This Vendor" (something I overlooked until recently), you can see that your items are in fact NOT there in the new vendor. They are out in limbo, unattached to any vendor. If I remove the items from the Region, it will let me, but then if you try and retrieve them from the Stockroom, it wont let you. They are all just sitting out there in some location unattached to any real item in the game. To meits like a memory leak in programming. The pointer (vendor) was lost and now the data is just sitting out there not able to be deleted or accessed from anywhere.

So basically the bottom line is... I deleted my vendor on accident, and then new one, which looked initially to have all my items back, did not in fact.I have effectively lost the items thatwere there, but more importantly to me, I have lost customers that have come by for they see nothing whenthey look at my vendor.

Just bumping myself cause the Devies are back...

We must cross our fingers!
