I was in a 10:00 match...6:45 left on my clock. My opponent made his move and the game ended saying I resigned. Only issue I've ever had since joining. Not the end of the world, but kinda annoying. Has this happened to anyone else?

no. I've resigned a matched before. but in this case I did not resign...the "system" did it and I had no desire to resign.

What likely happened is that you had a brief disconnect and the server may not have received your move. 

 

The server is the keeper of the accurate time. With the lag compensation algorithms the times on the clients may not be accurate. That is why you may occasionally see clocks adjusted in games, even without increments.
