When you delete an MX record in the DNS Manager, you get a confirmation page:

Quote:
DNS Manager ยป Remove record

Are you sure you want to delete this MX record?

[ Yes, delete this sucker ]


For A records, the "Remove record" part tells you which record you're about to delete, so that you don't accidentally confirm clicking the wrong "Remove" link. It would be helpful if this were also the case for other record types. I'm currently doing a bunch of MX record changes, and I get the generic "Remove record".

Actually, it seems like it does include something: the subdomain that the MX record applies to. Ideally, the confirmation page would show the whole record, but if it's only going to show a part, I think that the most useful part would be the name of the host.

I think that for the dns manager in general it would be preferable if owner, type and data were included in the confirmation dialogs.

As a somewhat related side note: It would also be nice if the column order in the main UI was consistent, now the column order seems to be arbitrary depending on record type and the same field goes by different names in different sections.
