War renewal bill/notification request

Hello all,
i've just stumbled into this "little" mistake about war declaration, and as suggested by GM who replied to my petition i'm posting this request for a little fix.

Trouble explanation: when u want to declare war to another corp u get a popup window to confirm it, telling also how much u have to pay for the first week (amount depends on few things but let's assume it is a fixed weekly 50M),

Quote:
Your corporation is declaring war against XYZ
War declaration price depends upon the number of members in the target corporation/alliance.
Your corporation will be sent weekly bills for keeping the war declaration in effect which are also based on the factors above.

The initial payment for starting this war will be 50.000.000 ISK.

Would you like to continue?


as fast as u click on the "yes" button on bottom to start the war also u get a corp notification saying that week war bill is issued to your corp, indeed u can see it into corp wallet under "bills - payable" tab

since i didn't want that war to last more than a week i had the automatic pay setting of warbill not checked so, thinking that this bill was for the first week, i manually paid it, paying the facto the 2nd week bill. Yes, yes i'm a genius, i know... but it's quite easy to misunderstand this if u don't know (like i didn't Lol) that first week bill is paid as soon as u press the damn "yes" button!

I've learned the lession but to avoid others to do same mistake would like to ask ccp if it's possible to:

1) delay the delivery of 2nd week bill/notification (and consequently all eventual future ones) of 48h (or even more: seems quite a bit pointless to renew it at the beginning of the week u alredy paid for, have it delivered by last 2 effective war days isn't more than enough?), this way they will be issued 24h after war took effect (or last paid week alredy started) making quite a bit harder to misunderstood it.

2) to be even more specific would be pretty cool if u could add to any war bill notification the exact period it will extend the war to:

Quote:
This is an automatic message. A bill of 50.000.000 ISK, due Friday, October 14, 2012 owed by you to CONCORD was issued Friday, October 7, 2012. This bill is for extending the war against XYZ up to date-time


I don't know anything about programming but that info is alredy stored somewhere so think would be easy to display it with minimal code modification, am i wrong?

Or it could just say something like 2nd Week Bill for War costs, etc.
