There seems to be something there ... I'm getting a foot in the door. When you use the browser refresh after making a move but not confirming, the moves notation does not reset! This seems quite strange considering the simpler board refresh does clear the fields. Perhaps when the page times out in some way, I can trigger the "resend" message.
Which browser were you using. I'll open the game in both and try the one you are using first later in the day.

I'm using Internet Explorer on Windows 7 on both computers.

Okay. I was unable to produce the effect. IE does not even leave the move fields full after a browser refresh. I did however see it's data resend warning (more verbose than the Firefox one). Getting that message is odd but I have seen the Firefox one many times on another site that I frequent, also apparently for no reason.
During my test, while Firefox left me logged in to QA the whole time, when I refreshed IE it had logged me off. Possibly a security setting.
Do you have spotty Internet service or perhaps do not use "always on" service? In such a case, I could see if you had made the move earlier, it might not have got through so when you clicked refresh, that data was finally sent even though the board visually had refreshed to it's unmoved state.
I will try that now since I turn off my Internet when I'm not using it. I will turn it off before trying to make the move, then turn my Internet back on and try to refresh the board ...

| Now I'm wondering how the browser refresh (Ctrl+R) is different to F5 (on Firefox anyhow). |
Resend versus forced refresh.
Resend just submits the url and post parameters again.
Forced refresh additionally marks all images as stale (i.e. cache flush) so they are re-fetched.

Well, that is what I thought ... but for Queen Alice at least, it seems to be a forced refresh for both methods. I did not realize that those instructions were site-dependent.
kingdave, turning off my Internet had no effect. There must be some way to duplicate the effect you noticed. Can you can think of any other factors which may have contributed to this odd behaviour?
