At the conclusion of a succesful 12x1 Solitare game, I get background of "HARRY...from spinal T...6-part series...only on YOUTUBE" (I cannot see the entire message in the upper right corner) I do not the the 'completion message' of the game just played nor a 'continue' message to go to the next game. I have to close the browser and go back in. I did notice that the game is concluded and the count of games continues correctly.

Message:I'm using IE11. This doesn't happen to often and has happened on older versions as well. While playing an extended series the game stats seems to freeze on me. After about 5-6 games I notice that the stats aren't changing. Then I close out my browser and reopen and start playing again. The game then refreshes to the correct stat.

Message:Possibly this problem is related to the way Macs handle slider bars. The newer operating systems (after 10.6.8) may not show the scroll bars all the time. They appear when you try to scroll. If you want them there all the time you have to go to the System preferences (in the Apple menu), choose General and then under that set how you want the scroll bars to perform. You can make them be present all the time as one of the options. Unfortunately they are now skinny ugly dark gray bars instead of the cool-looking translucent blue ones that we are used to.

When you click play the cards come down, then back up and a new continue window comes up, the loop keeps going and the wins show up in the score.

When I hit the Play button, all the cards appear for half a second and then disappear and the Congratulations pop-up appears. I've won two games without making any moves.

Message:I recognised a game that came up on "Play" as one I had definitely played before. I recalled that it had been a very difficult one and took me ages to finish, however I did solve it on the first occasion. This time as I was trying to solve it, I must have gone down a different route resulting in my having to quit it. As I had at that time reached a streak of about 30+ wins, I was obviously disappointed. I tried to replay that game again using the "replay last game" option, but a completely different game came up so sadly I cannot recall the game number.
I use a macOS Sierra version 10.12.6 Laptop and Google Chrome.

Message:HI. Thanks again Denny for your great game. Today I noticed that every time I won a game the score went down by one. I played 20 games and "lost" 20 points. Very humbling and disconcerting. Am I being punished for being such a lousy player?

the cards to be played are normally at the bottom of the stack. They are sticking up out of the middle of the lineup.

Message:Ha! And I never included the link. Magnification seems to be the #1 culprit these days and there is no reasonably standard way (that I have found) to figure out that a browser is not running at 100%.

It'd help to start your own thread with a descriptive title like "error message on iPad" instead of using someone else's thread about a problem on Macs which already mutated several times.
So that error looks like raw JSON. How exactly is that coming up?

Message:“error message on ipad” {"readyState":0,"responseText":"","status":0,"statusText":"error". I get this error msg. playing 12X4 on my ipad. That’s the only game it happens on. I use Safari browser. It started after Denny changed servers a few months ago. It comes up occasionally and I can just click close and continue. I hope this helps.

Message:For what it’s worth, I get that occasionally also. It’s right after you finish a game. When you clear the error, one of the lines in the “you win” dialog box will be missing, like the Current: or the Daily: one. Not the same the every time but I’ve not tried to track it.
Personally, I can completely understand why you might relegate chasing a problem like this to “priority low”: a local race condition that isn’t really hurting anything. Hard to duplicate and little to gain.

Message:Spud, I was having trouble seeing scores last week and Denny told me to make a new thread. He prob just hasn’t seen your posts, so make a thread with a title that makes the issue obvious, or try posting under an existing thread re: game issues if you haven’t already, tho the former will prob work best to get his help.
