lichess reconnecting

Hey yall, I run safari and the site only reconnects and doesn't allow me to play. I remember this problem was fixed last week, but its back for me. I don't want to be a bother, I just really want to get my chess on. Any thoughts?
What version of Safari are you running? I'm fairly sure that the old-ish versions of Safari don't have decent websocket support, so it's best if you look for a way to get the latest version of Safari or install a different browser such as Chrome or Firefox.
due to reconnecting i cannot play any game .please do something.
This is a problem as your end, not lichess'.

Can you supply any more details about your system, and how you are connecting to lichess?
Look at your browser version. Check if your version is supported : http://caniuse.com/websockets
If not supported, the solution is probably upgrading your browsers and connect directly to lichess, with out using a proxy server.
If it is supported than it is most likely your firewall or router configuations. They are probably not set to default.
After an upgraded browser, test it : http://websocketstest.com

Clarkey, this link has great info on the subject and more : http://html5please.com

evry time i am facing reconnecting problem at the eleventh hour of any match i lose point due to this problrm. please do some thing .
I checked the websockets on mine and they all came up as positively supported. There don't seem to be any firewall or router configurations that are hindering; this is on Safari 7.0 on Mac Mavericks.
ce site est une blague. 5 min apres mon premier coup mon adversaire joue le sien et ma pendule tombe a 0 en meme temps. resultat partie perdue.
va faloir mettre tout ca au point...

Could it be that some OS systems have a harder time to connect to Lichess than others?
The only way to know would be to monitor which OS connect to Lichess and so assume the rest have problems connecting. One thing is for sure, when there is a definit constant connection problem, I can not type on the forum to say there is a problem. The number of players on the website stays as a question mark.
