Vanishing game

Hi,

today I was in the early stages of a game - I didn't note the number or opponent, sorry.

My opponent was inactive for a while and (as I usually do in these circumstances) I refreshed my browser page to see if anything had locked up at my end.

Instead of the usual behaviour of reconnecting to the game in progress I found myself at the login screen, and then when I logged in there was no sign of the game!

furthermore I couldn't find a record of it on the "scavenger" tool that records game results.

All I can recall is that it was before game #7380589

The likely problem in that case was the new release that happened while you were playing. In that case, you can finish existing games as long as you stay connected. But refreshing will connect you to the new version.
It seems that your opponent either had a similar problem or was just disconnecting and therefore likely not hitting "make resign". So I think the game is eventually cancelled without result.

I see - thanks! Bad timing then :)
