It would help if it would display the action you selected while waiting for the next screen. I don’t really like the drop down list.

We discussed changing the series of buttons into a drop-down list for quite some time. We quickly came to the realization that adding more functions to the system would cause the page to become much too wide. So we’ve opted to go for a menu-like approach so that we can add more actions without changing the layout of the page. We’ll be rolling out one of those new actions soon… stay tuned! Your point about the action list switching back to the first selection in the menu is a valid one. This was done so that if the action caused a new window to open, the action list would be automatically reset so that you could choose another action easily. However, as we discussed your comment it occurred to us that we only need to reset the action list if you are indeed causing a new window to appear (this is something we can detect). We can also make the action list reset itself a few seconds after the new window opens as well. With this change that we just rolled out, using the action lists should be a little easier.
