You probably finished the forum (thread) but didn’t see the ending page, and when you refreshed the page, it started the forum over as if you clicked the link from the bookmarks page (which is how refreshing works anyway).

If you enter a forum and don’t make a move, you don’t lose a visit (hence the term “You will have x forum visits left AFTER YOUR FIRST MOVE” ). If you noticed you restarted the forum by accident but didn’t make a move yet… slowly back out… and go back to your character page.

Lesson learned.
