 * Hi!
 * Since I upgraded to v3.8, I get all the time this error message:
 * > “Connection lost. Saving has been disabled until you’re reconnected. We’re 
   > backing up this post in your browser, just in case.”
 * Then the whole site freezes, I have to wait quite a bunch of time before connection
   comes back again. It happens so often that it blocks my whole work on my two 
   wp websites: [http://noubel.com](http://noubel.com) (English) and [http://noubel.fr](http://noubel.fr)(
   French).
 * I have checked many many posts about this issue. I did the following things:
   *
   deactivating all plugins * trying on other browsers (I currently use Chrome) *
   clearing the browser cache * checking the server activity
 * None of these worked. It has nothing to do with my bandwidth and connection. 
   Not with my server too, as I can easily run other apps installed on it.
 * Reading many forums, I see people having this problem since they installed wp
   3.6. it didn’t happen to me until 3.8, but it definitely seems to have something
   to do with an upgrade.
 * Any hints?
 * Thanks a lot!

 * I’m having the exact same problem, and I’m thinking of restoring an old backup
   of 3.7 just because of this. No solution found yet.

 * Same problem here. It does save the post eventually but it’s really annoying.
   Accessing the admin panel and it’s submenus seem to be alot slower as well.
 * Hope someone resolves this soon…

 * My solution was to export all data and import it to a new wordpress 3.8 installation.

 * Trying it too, and moving to another server. So I will keep you posted.
