Timer runs out without actually producing a result
I noticed today while smithing that the timer would run down, then not produce any kind of result (no success, no failure, no items consumed, no xp change) and restart.
This was attempt one:
It completed, and this was the screen during the following timer:
Note the empty line above the action totals button.I think I've noticed this on other activities as well, a few of the upgrades related to building my storage - didn't pay enough attention to it at the time to give any more details though.

I've gotten the same bug for other activities such as fishing.
Looks like this happens quite frequently on my laptop (windows 7, chrome, wifi connected). Not so much on my fixed pc (windows 8, also chrome, cabled network connection)
Just did a test in Firefox on that same laptop. The game registered 20 attempts at "Remove Rocks" for our compound, 46-47 seconds per attempt. My stopwatch showed 28 mins 11 secs after the 20th registered attempt, so that should've been 36ish attempts.
Just adding more data as I go along, in case this helps narrow the problem down :)
Just did 54 chop tree actions without any unregistered attemps, still on that same laptop using Firefox. So it appears related to specific skills (or even specific tasks inside those skills)
And a little more data that came up in chat:

silk, since you seem to be around.. if you
take a quick look at
https://batteredshield.userecho.com/topics/233-timer-runs-out-without-actually-producing-a-result/
does that give you enough information to look for a problem, or would
you like any more data collected to be added to the thread?![]()

Also happens with copper ore in Ore Town (sometimes even twice in a row). Doesn't appear to happen with trees in Farmery.
Happens to me too sometimes.
Coming back to this, looks like notOlivierasseb may have been onto something after all. It seems to happen with every activity, if I switch to a different device and start doing something in the town where I already was. If i travel to a nearby town and back, then start doing the same thing, everything works fine and no actions are skipping. I think the device I was logged in at (at home) would've been sitting at a botcheck by the time I got to work and continued working.
That was not the case for me. I was only logged in in one browser session when it happened to me. And conversely, I have previously been logged in from two browser sessions with the active one continuing to work normally while the disabled one was stuck at a bot check.
