"Sending stacks of food is annoying"
You know what's also annoying? Sending a message full of individual items instead of stacks the current way. Both have downsides when it comes to that.
You know what's even more annoying? Losing a stack of valuable items because you hit send too early and it's completely within the site rules for the other person to keep it instead of sending it back.

Support for either a toggle or revert, preferably a toggle since choices are usually good.
Dumb me almost sent a stack of several genes in a CR instead of just one. :') Good thing I realized immediately after hitting send so I was able to cancel...

things I have almost oops-ed on since this change, a list (where almost is defined as thankfully I was awake and functional and didn't click send too fast but I am not always that awake :))
(I want AH and CR/PM to be consistent and I definitely don't want AH to go back to the old default of list whole stack so moving CR/PM to a default of 1 is so much better).
sending 19 noc eggs to a person instead of one
sending 18 noc eggs to a different person instead of one (tfw dom raffle makes egg prizes a landmine of fear)
sending 5 copies of a specific gene to a person using my dom shop when they only ordered 1
sending all of my purple sludge to a person when they only needed 2 for the gene they had to brew.
is it more convenient that I could one click send a different user 25x of a certain food item? sure but I'd rather lose that convenience so I could stop fearing the top section.

I personally like the full stacks, but I understand why others don’t like them for all the reasons stated previously in this thread. I would love a toggle to let people have options.

A toggle at LEAST, please. As people have noted, the potential disasters are worse with the current system than the previous one- with the previous one, you could accidentally send less than what you intended, which is easy to rectify with a follow-up message or with the CR partner noticing it and waiting for a correction, but with the new way of it, you're vastly more likely to send more than what you wanted- your full stack of eggs, say, instead of just one- and then there's nothing you can do but hope that the person you were sending to is kind enough to send the extra back rather than keep them for themselves, since surely there's no recourse for the sender.
I don't do much trading but it's already happened once, with me sending my entire stash of Wind runestones instead of just a couple- luckily I was sending them to our Dom raffle's prize packs, so the receiver noticed and returned the extras to me.
It's making sending my little rainbow flowerbombs painfully more tedious, too :( I send a lovely little bundle of one each of a neatly arranged set of flowers, and with the new system it takes twice the time since I have to choose each one and pull it all the way down to one, instead of just clicking each flower and moving to the next slot.

hi I am back with screenshots of what my vault looks like when I am in raffle sending mode. (I am sending for inf and oof raffle so most items are in numbers >=2 when most prizes only get 1 copy of said item)
there have been many times this week where I have had the default of full amount be the starter and gone oh no, please not 2 starmaps or 2 silver seraph jewelry or not 28 scattersights (or 2 weathered).
I haven't had an error yet but like if I am sending out 30 rounds of raffle prizes (so 300 pms) eventually the odds will catch up to me unless I am always hyper vigilant.
the raffle prize sender panic is a mood and a half and if the stack default to attach was back to one I would be so happy.
in before only take out what you want to send to one person, some genes, eggs and apparel bundles don't allow you to only retrieve one at a time (the ones with the lock preventing hoardselling i think are the ones where you can't input a number to retrieve)

also why do vistas sort to back of specialty tab on some attachment and AH menus when they FR numerical id sort in actual tab?

This really needs to be addressed. It's a function that literally nobody was asking for prior to implementation (at least that I've been able to find) and now that it's here, is making it far too easy to make terribly costly mistakes.

This is the way I feel.
If I send a stack of one accidentally: *Oops, here is the rest of what I wanted to send*
If I send a stack of 99 accidentally: *oops, could I please have X back?* and sit there hoping they are nice enough to send the entire stack back.

:c Yes this still needs to be fixed. It's horrible sending out raffle prizes now and having to triple check you aren't accidentally sending 5 WC scrolls or 38 chests instead of 1. We've nearly made the mistake several times since it was changed.
If we accidentally send 1 egg we don't lose anything but 5 seconds to send another. If we accidentally send 4 we potentially lose 1200 gems.

Just had to cancel a fest chest swap CR because I attached the entire stack. Now not only do I have to do extra work, my trading partner does too.
