I type responses to posts, and when I hit reply it says:

Failed to open page - Safari can't open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait a few minutes then try again".

But my reply is completely vanished.

I'm not sure about these technical things - but here's my best shot:

Mac OS Version 10.12.5
one thing that helps me is I write my reply then when I am done but before I send the finished reply in (submit reply button) I highlight what I have wrote (starting right before the first letter left click and hold down, while holding scroll down the whole text until everything is highlighted.) then I right click copy. this holds a copy of my post so that if I lose it after hitting reply all I have to do is like normal get ready to write a reply but instead of writing a whole new reply I right click and paste. this puts the original reply in the box again then I submit click submit. (reason I do this is because when I am using safari / foxfire it times out before I finish my reply which means the browser cant submit the reply because its closed/ unopened) by using high lighting, and right click copy, right click paste it saves time and goes right through ok.
Thanks for this!
