Actually, I think you might be the only one with this problem; there is no need to type in URLs manually, and, based on your description of the problem, I'm not sure that would help. For some reason your browser isn't reloading the page even when you go away and come back... With Internet Explorer (and some other browsers) you can force a reload by holding down the control key while you click the refresh button. Try that. If that does it, then you need to adjust your browser settings; look for an option called something like 'reload page if newer' or 'reload page always.' If that doesn't do it, however, then something is very wrong with your browser...
Geeeeze, I hope I am not the only one who is having trouble with www.chessvariants.org. I keep running into the following browser problem with my game of Rococo with gwduke: 'Your browser was not refreshed when you entered this move. If this move had not been stopped, you would have overwritten your log with data for a past move, causing you to lose moves in your game. Go back and refresh the log page before entering your move.' Well, I've gone back to the log page four times, and I'm still getting the same error message. No matter how many times I go to the 'log page' and sign in, I keep getting the same error message. What good will it do me to attempt to 'refresh the log page' one more time? The Game Courier program expects the user to type out a URL manually each time a move is logged. I've always looked on that part of the interface with an element of suspicion, in much the same way I look at Java applets and other webbrowsing features with suspicion. If Fergus can't come up with an alternative to submitting game moves than typing a web address or URL in manually, I guess I just won't be willing to use Game Courier any more to transmit the moves. (I suppose I could still post my moves here in the Comments area, although that prevents me from looking at the chessboard diagrams at the same time.) Maybe this is just a West Coast to East Coast thing, assuming the site is actually being maintained on computers in New York? I'm certainly not in a position to authenticate (let alone inspect) the actual packets that are being swapped from server to server, to get my data over to New York... (And then people wonder why I don't trust this newfangled world wide web stuff....)
