Thank you for all the info bigadorf! 

Since the message wasn't present when you used Chrome, then it's a browser focus issue. If I were you, I'd try clearing cache on Safari. 

You can also restore the browser to its default settings, to see if this does the trick.

Cheers!

Hi there

I am having this exact same issue.

 

I get the same error images of the user who posted the pictures.

and everything works fine on chrome.

I deleted the cache in safari, restarted it, restarted the comp.

It even gave me another error code for trying to reply to this thread in safari, i had to move over to chrome and log in and then reply to you.

 

Is there anything else that can be causing this?  definately looks like a safari issue.

please help
