safari can't open the page on craigslist

can someone help solve my issue: i'm trying to post a sale on craigslist and when i continue to post, safari can't open the page on craigslist because server unexpectedly dropped the connection.

i've gone into preference and cleared the cache but for the thousandth time, i still get the try back later. its frustrating. and i'm new to mac.

A warm welcome to the forums Mendi! 🙂

Is this the only site or url that has the problem?

Can you give us a url to see if the problem is with them?

Safari can’t open the page “ https://post.craigslist.org/sea/S/for/skc/x/PL7Yes3svlrxTGf6/qpeeb” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later.

thanks for responding. above is the message i get when posting. and its only with craigslist so far. i even added the /index at the end but it didn't work.

Yeah, opens here fine.

On a hunch, Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers...

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Sorry I don;t have an answer, but wanted to add that I have also been having this issue with a few websites, Facebook being one of them... It's not a HUGE problem, being that I reload the site and it works just fine... just a little annoying and only when I use safari.
