Issue with Bug Game

Per Reya's post to me today, I am making a separate thread for this issue.
Initially, I saw someone had posted that the Bug Game wasn't tracking scores on the Achievement Bugs thread. When Game Day hit for the festivities, I went ahead and decided to play it figuring even if it wasn't tracking, hopefully it would "catch up" once things were fixed. However, I noticed something about this particular game that I didn't with other game achievements that aren't tracking.
Most games, once finished, we have to click something to send the score. Well, with Bug Game it doesn't. When I played it the other day, the first time I played it a screen came up at the end of the game to say I'd earned such and such a score. Because of the tracking issue, I did check and that score sent for that first game. But each subsequent game I played did not. What I noticed happening is that I no longer was getting the end screen telling me what I scored and earned, it just flickers to a black screen (in the game, not my monitor) and sets up a new game ready to play. I thought perhaps it was the tab picked up something quirky so I closed it entirely and opened the game in a new tab only to get the same results. I played maybe 5 more times just to confirm what I was seeing and sure enough, every time that 5th+ bug leaves the screen and the game should be over, it does the same thing: black screen/set for new game.
I admit I have not tried it since in another browser or anything as I have been sick and spending most of the time in a cold-medication induced stupor. lol I am on a mini-Mac using Chrome at the moment.
Do you know if this is still happening to you? IF so, are you playing the next game right after the first? I think I read somewhere that there's a time limit between being able to send scores for this game.
- aww. Thanks for checking on this but yeah, I had someone comment me to tell me the same thing. lol I hadn't noticed before that there's a "cooldown" period with this game and I had to wait and being sick at the time I completely forgot to come back and say I'd gotten an answer to the issue.
If I may take this opportunity, though, it would be nice if maybe we could set an alert for this one so we'll know for sure when we can play again for a score. :)
