The Resign Button

Is it possible to add a pop-up window so that when you click resign it asks if you really want to resign? I've had a couple instances where I either accidentally clicked it or clickers it thinking it was the draw button in the heat of battle.
Pop ups are so so so annoying... That would make this site ucky if there was a popup...

I don't think the draw button's use should come up so often as to merit an annoying popup. Taking 1.5 more seconds to determine the correct button on which to click would be easier.

:)
If you aren't sure you want to resign/draw, don't click that. I have played on this website with all types of screens, the small size of those buttons helps prevent mis-clicks adequately.
I would prefer the button just says resign and draw. Popups are unnecessary when it seems that it is the icon that needs labeling. It’s hard to decipher which one is which when you’re low on time!
Drawing when you're that low on time wouldn't have too much of a probability of occurring. If you're 7 seconds away from the time up, and you send a draw... I'm guessing since people are so conscious about losing/wining points, they'll just ignore it regardless of any other situation.

Labelling, maybe: a shaded-in white flag for resign? = more visible?
Yes I can see how a popup is overkill. But just a simple label would be great. Its noty so much that I'm even necessarily low on time -- just disgusted at the prospect of a draw and wanting to get on to the next game as soon as possible -- its a gut reaction. FWW, I'm sure other ppl have done the same against me -- resigning in an obviously drawn position.
