Couldn't move but didn't lose connection?

I was just playing a hyper game, and I was in a winning position. I was up about 10 seconds against 0.07 seconds, so if I had made one more move my opponent probably would have flagged. When I made my move, though, my time continued to run.

This happens pretty often, since my internet loses connection temporarily a lot, and usually I get the red "attempting to reconnect" message at the top of my screen. In this case, that didn't happen. Also, when I hovered over the green spectate icon on my friends list, I could see moves being played in their game, which doesn't happen when I lose connection. I also sent a message in the game chat that went through. So clearly I was connected to the site, there must be some kind of bug that caused my move to not go through.
You didn't make your daily offering to the HyperBullet King Maestranos of Plakos. Rectification of this oversight will result in better playing conditions.
