Refresh Live Chess Page

Sometimes I have slow internet and then I must refresh the chess page while I'm playing a game.

I've noticed that today when I refreshed twice it put a message that I have resigned.
Is this a new feature or a bug?

Feature.

They are trying to discourage disconnects.

/ I have noticed a number of these threads but almost everybody starts a new thread. If people added to others' threads, we might get a sense of how often this occurs.

Here is a search for auto-resign threads: http://www.chess.com/forum/search?keyword=auto+resign

Thank you

Was there anything in particular you wanted to add to this thread?

New members are unable to start new threads for a while. I don't know exactly how long. We used to have a terrible problem with spam being posted in hundreds of threads every night.
