I got the same message once today, Nan, and refreshed the page and was fine. I haven't received it again, so might be because they're working on the system at the times we were trying to post and/or click on a particular thread?

Thanks! It's much better today.

Each day I: look at hundreds of posts; post 8-20 times, and as a mod have to check newbie IPs and aliases; perform moves, merges, deletes; issue warnings and infractions, etc. Wasting 8-10 seconds every time I hit the enter key adds up to thousands of seconds per day and was very frustrating.
