I have to agree with you on that TTT. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen a mod say it's been closed by mistake and I'll open it in the last year or so. Too many times, if there is some button that's easy to hit by accident why doesn't it get moved?
The 'close' button is big. On my phone it goes almost halfway across the screen. All it takes is one touch when scrolling down a page on a touchscreen and it's closed. It really needs to have a confirmation action too.
