The new Account page seems to give me no option to delete CP bids. No 'Edit', no 'x'. I shouldn't have to go to each separate product page to cancel.
Prepubs basically work the same way, even though they have an "Edit" link: the "Edit" link opens a new page that asks you if you want to cancel. It's the same number of steps either way. I don't think this is any different than it used to be. To me, I like it that it's not easy to accidentally delete an order.
fgh you are correct. I can confirm there is no delete option for me either on my account page for Community Pricing Bids? Hopefully Logos will look into it.

a) It's inconsistent that canceling is done via an Edit link in one tab, but via the product page link in another.
b) It's very confusing. I probably spent 10-15 minutes looking for delete options in two different browsers before it even occurred to me to try the product page link.
c) It's not the same number of steps. If you cancel on the Edit page, you get taken directly back to the Account page. If you cancel on the product page, you get taken to an updated version of the product page, and have to go back two pages in the browser to get back to the Account page.

That I agree with, though it's not as important with CP's as with prepubs. Unless your accidental deletion takes place at 11.59 AM PST on a Friday, you can just put your bid back again. 'Delete' instead of 'Edit', plus an 'Are you sure?' popup, should be safeguard enough. No need to be taken to a separate page at all.
(I hate having to load unnecessary pages. It takes an awful lot of unnecessary time. And unfortunately I've learnt recently that faster broadband doesn't help. My small graphics card was already working as fast as it could, I guess.)
Thank you for the feedback. I have created a case to consider it.
Thanks.
