| SYSTEM INFORMATION | | | --- | --- | | OS type and version | EL10 | | Webmin version | 2.660 | Trying to add new system monitor, I select Reboot Required but there is now no way to save it. There used to be, perhaps it should come back? ---

You don’t have a “Create” button on the form? Are there errors in the web dev tools console when you load the page? What do you see after you click “Add monitor of type: Reboot Required”? ---

It shows that I have selected Reboot Required, but there is no option to Create, Save, or whatever. The page does not change at all. No errors. This is using Webmin menu in a VMin install just for clarity 0 shouldn’t make any difference. ---

“Add monitor of type” is a button. Select “Reboot Required” and then click that button. ---

Ahh.. This modern lack-of-colour scheme strikes again. It just looks like a label. Thanks Joe, maybe have a word to the colour gods. ---

I agree, it is not at all as obvious it’s a button as it should be. @Ilia, any chance this button can be made to look like a button? ---

Excuse me, but while you’re at it, you know English is processed from left to right. The action button should naturally be on the right side, so that the human gets to it _after_ the choice is made, not before. Suggestion: `New monitor type to create: [. . . . . . .] ` ---

> [@vending\_makina](#): > > Excuse me, but while you’re at it, you know English is processed from left to right. This is fairly standard for Webmin, so it wouldn’t be right to change it in just one place. Though, we’ll keep that in mind for the future when we rework the UI. ---
