If I refresh a game in progress page, and my opponent as made a new move, I see the words invalid move at the top of the page.

Yes, that is an unfortunate side effect of how browsers work. When you hit refresh from the browser, it requests the page again exactly as it was requested the previous time. Since the previous time was when you made your move the requests includes that move again and of course when the move is validated it is now invalid.

I've seen some sites that solve this issue by forcing the page that comes after you move to reload itself, but the side effect of that is that the Back button then starts doing funny things, you will have to hit it twice to really go back one page.

My recommendation is that you use the "Refresh Board" link that's on the right side of the board. That one will always work.
