Frequently when posting to GZ I get “Safari can’t open the page because the network connection was lost.”

So I have to hit the back button but the post button is disabled. Hit refresh and retype my message and it’s away again.

Just had this occur now, then three times in a row of exactly the same trying to send a PM.

My thumb is dead now from retyping over n over on my phone.

“Safari can’t open the page because the network connection was lost.”

Sounds like a network problem. Are you using a VPN?

Nope. I can hit back on my phone and hit refresh for immediate load

I can't help with the problem but I get it on a semi-regular frequency too.

 

 

 

I'm a recent convert to iOS and never had anything similar on Android, I visit the same sites on the same mobile network/WiFi on my new iPhone and get it. No VPN, etc, is enabled.

 

 

 

Haven't tried Geekzone on my phone though.

I'm not much use here but I guess you could copy it to your clipboard before clicking 'post' so you don't lose all your writing ;)
