Which version of the site are you on? You may need to get out of Live and reenter after configuring it.
I never turn that setting on in Live, as a time scramble is hard enough, so I have never tested it

It is possible that it is bugged or hasn't been fully implemented.
You might submit a bug report. Either use the bug icon, while on the setting screen I guess, or open a regular ticket and choose the appropriate area from the drop-down.

@Thomas4532, Thank you for posting this article! As I've increased the number of games I play, I started to recognize the ongoing trend of mouse slipping on my end. Unfortunately, it led to many unintended blunders and mistakes which are not always accepted by the other player as bring unintended mistakes. It's impacted my Elo rating possible about 5% of the play, not the most ideal. I think a pre-selecting position is an option; but, I have found that its caused me to rethink moves and does not make sense if you do not know what your opponent's strategy. If any someone offers additional solutions, I would love to hear your suggestions on this topic.
Confirm Moves Are only on Phones you find it on live chess settings
Hello everyone. This might be a dumb question but it bothers me when I play live chess and do not have the ability to confirm a move before it is set in stone. I play a lot of daily 24-hour per move which you have to confirm your move by pressing the check box (confirm) or x-box(no move). When I started playing 30 minute games my finger occasionally slips off the mouse while making a move and it ends up being a bad move. I get so my at myself when it happens because it causes me to lose a piece. For example: I was moving a rook over to be in front of my other rook but my finger slip off the mouse button one square before the actual square I was moving to and I lost a rook. I would not have made that mistake if I could have confirm the move. Is there a way I can set confirm move before I make more mistakes like the rook example? Please help. Thank you in advance.
