I'm very sorry about that! I will investigate later tonight, once I've finished Sudoku Pro magazine that is due tomorrow. :) This is probably the same issue another user reported before that I haven't yet got round to looking at (oops). That was Hanjie too, but that's probably a coincidence.
If you let me know how long you think it did take you I can amend the database if you would like.

The thing that confuses me is that if you reload the page you will reset the puzzle (except in some Firefox versions where it tries to be clever - very weird!), and if you don't then it shouldn't reset. But you're not the first person this has happened to so I must have made a mistake somewhere. :)
Well, it happened to me again today on the next puzzle--the artist's pallette one. I was nearly done with the puzzle (using no hints the whole time), and realized I must have made a small mistake... so I clicked the 'Show wrong moves'. After fixing the two wrong squares, I went on to finish the puzzle pretty quickly. It told me my final time was 1:20 !!!
I don't know what my final scores on these two puzzles really were--but I would guess somewhat longer than the overall average. I do not ever solve a puzzle faster than the overall average (probably because I use no hints, and the overall average includes the people who use hints).
Anyway, this is really a great website, keep up the good work!
Thanks again - that's incredibly useful to let me know about that because it gives me more information to work on. I'm sorry again for the problem!
I'll look at it shortly. Could you let me know which web browser you are using, if you know?
Thank you!
Gareth

It appears that Firefox sends an unwanted "form request" for the page when you touch the show wrong moves checkbox. It thinks you are submitting a form because a checkbox is a form element, so it sends a dummy request to open the puzzle again - which the site thinks you are really doing and so resets the timer. (Arguably that shouldn't happen anyway, but that's a different story!). Whether this only happens with Hanjie or not I'm not sure, but it should be possible to fix this now I know it happens. I should probably embed a backup timer in the player itself so it can take a "longest wins" approach to how long you really took. :)
I thought this was a bug in Firefox 1 but I have just tested Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 and it happens in those too, so it seems I am not trapping an event somewhere which doesn't fire in Internet Explorer and other browsers!
If anyone is interested in the technical info:
When I was setting the background image for the 'wrong cells' to the red hatching I set the square background to "url('hatching.gif')" which told the web browser to load the image. When I cleared it I set it to "url('')", which in Firefox had the effect of reloading the current page and ignoring the result (so a bug in Firefox in actual fact, I think). Anyway, setting it to "none" instead fixes the issue.
So this only affected "Show incorrect" in Hanjie because this is the only player that does this. It also only happened the first time you un-checked it because after that Firefox cached the result.
Took two hours to work that out! :)
