I don't. But it's nice that getting disconnected is just about the most irritating thing in my life right now.
Comments?

what browser are you using? what kind of internet connection do you have?
trust me - live chess disconnects are the most irritating thing in MY life BY FAR!

I heard from everyone that people who use Internet Explorer (like me) have always problems and people with Firefox don´t, so...

I'm using Firefox, and I'm told I have a pretty good internet connection (I wouldn't know). I'm not complaining; I'm saying that if someone (erik gets excluded from this) thinks that getting disconnected is the worst thing in their life, then they have a pretty good life.

if that is the most irrattating thing in your life you must be single.lol

I'm using Firefox, and I have never had a single problem with it. Plus, Firefox is just wayyyy better than IE anyways. :P
IrishMike
Since Eric recommended FireFox I have been singing. I only get disconnected when a very very heavy thunderstorm rolls by (Satellite Internet here)
I agree with 'oldmangeorge'. Irritations in life are like mosquito bites, scratch them a little and keep moving.
Thanks Eric for the FireFox recommendation.

firefox seems pretty stable for live chess

Stay connected , who knows what will happen?

I've always used Firefox and still had my fair share of disconnections.

Erik, I had a disconnect loss yesterday when my broadband connection went down for about 15 seconds. I had lots of time on my clock. It would be nice if chess.com gave us up to 5 minutes to reconnect (if we have that much time on our clock).
I had a disconnect win today, so I guess it's balancing out for me so far.
TheGrobe
I strongly suspect that the time I had left on the clock for games I was disconnected from while winning gets added on to the end of my life and the time for disconnects in losing positions gets subtracted. I think I'm pretty well evenly balanced as well. A similar thing happens when you walk out of a bad movie, but you get that time back right away....
seanki
i rarely get disconnected till know.

It might be your hardware that isn't working, not the software. I'll help if you answer these questions.
*What internet connection do you use (e.g. dialup, broadband, cable, ect)
*Is it a laptop or desktop computer?
*Do you use a wireless connection, if so how is the signal?
*Did you install the hardware yourself, or did someone else do it?
*Do you know where the hardware is?
