My moves won't register in games

Whenever I try to start blitz games or bullet, all my games get aborted because chess.com thinks I haven't made  a move. But I have. The clock just keeps running as if I haven't made a move, and then the game aborts. Anyone had same issue? It's been like this for many days now.

Are you using the app? What platform is it?

It could be your connection. Perhaps when you're trying to move your connection isn't good so by the time the move reaches chess.com servers u have timed out. 

 

However send a ticket to chess.com and get a staff member to help u out it will be quicker than asking help here: https://support.chess.com/article/346-contact-us

Nope. I used ethernet cable directly into PC and had 100 mbits up/down so should be stable. I moved to a new apartment now, haven't had any trouble so far.

I made a move and thought my opponent abandoned the game. Then chess.com said I needed to make a move or I would forfeit. I refreshed the page and made the move again, and it said I ran out of time and lost the game. Now I can't join a new game.
