Resignation warning

Please give a pop-up resignation warning, sometimes resignation is pressed by mistake when I don't want to resign.

For people who find such pop-ups annoying, also please provide an option in "preferences" to turn it off.

Thanks,
cafe
Also, please provide an option in preferences to reduce the number of options in preferences. There are a lot.

Not everyone may want this option, though, so you might want to add an option for it.

Option to show option to reduce number of preferences: <show, hide>
Do you remember what you were trying to do when miss-clicking?

Is it maybe too close to other buttons/move list?

If a confirmation is needed, it should preferably work like the draw-button http://i.imgur.com/bgRaxHV.png and not a popup that hides the board and has longer pointer-distance (especially annoying if you miss-clicked). Maybe only needed if you aren't down in material with message "You have equal/more material" and button "Resign anyway".
@flugsio, I was trying to offer draw, but inadvertently clicked on resign.

I think if we do have an option to takeback moves even when it was not a mouse-slip; an option to abort if you get a black instead of white; an option to select the color and opponent for a rated game; an option to abort as black when your opponent plays d4 instead of an e4, etc., then why not an option to confirm your resignation, which seems to me more legitimate then all the options listed above.
I agree with cafestream that a confirmation notice to resign should be made available, similar to #4's link.

I have also, many times, clicked the 'resign' button instead of the other ones...

yes, I agree with flugsio, except that I think a confirmation is good regardless of up/ down / equal material (because you may be positionally drawn/winning even when down material).
180 + 180 ... Those are some pretty long time controls.
This feature would indeed be very welcome.
