I won two games today (well, more than two, but this glitch concerns only two of them).  In each case, after I won, the game simply disappeared.  It did not appear in my finished games section, or anywhere else.  Only when my opponents wrote into the game dialogue box "good game" or something similar did I get to see the end, and in each case it was recorded as a draw.  Yet I received ELO points as if I had won (I mean, I did win, but apparently not according to the arbiter of the games).  And now the games are still gone, but so are the points.  Anybody else seeing this, or am I the only lucky one?

Yeah, and they apparently just fixed & improved the site (that was the point of it being down, one would presume).  Isn't progress a wonderful thing?

Hey, you are right.  Now it is my move in the game I won by check mate, and my opponent's move in the game I won by resignation.

So can somebody from Chess.com fix this before I time out in a game that I already won???  And please do not advise me to report it through that page on the bottom.  As I have explained many, many times before, that page does not work for me either, as I need to type in some letters that never show up.

Thank you.

 One of those games was with me. And I couldn't read it without you typing in there after I did. Weird....
