![Post Post](./styles/etech/imageset/icon_topic_latest.gif) "Please wait 10 seconds, then reload the page"
Another timed puzzle thing while I'm at it. I get this pretty often: http://i.imgur.com/VnAKz6c.pngDoes this happen for everyone or is it just a distraction that Patrick built in for me? >__> (When I reload the page I can proceed with the timed puzzle as usual)

It happens when a timed puzzle is started within 10 seconds of the previous one It's a little fail-safe I built in for some browsers that for some reason request the page twice: it caused people to lose two timed puzzles when doing only one.

I get this happen quite a lot, especially if I give up a puzzle in the first few seconds and then try another. But it is interesting what you say about the fail safe, because sometimes I will accidentally double click the button, so requesting the page twice, and the wait for 10 seconds message comes up but I still lose the timed puzzle, so I'm not sure that the fail safe works in this case ![Sad [sad]](./images/smilies/msp_sad.gif)

(and if on Firefox, not have it "resend" the parameters) Patrick

Patrick Oh that makes sense, thank you for the suggestion I will try that next time ![Smile [smile]](./images/smilies/msp_smile.gif)

So then after an accidental double-click you'd have one tab with a puzzle with the timer running, and one tab with the warning message. (I think having that ![Cursing [cursing]](./images/smilies/msp_cursing.gif) double click in Windoze was a mistake to begin with, single click is fine for everything..)
