That is because there is a limit on how many pages you
can open within a certain time period. The limit is
currently very low to prevent overloading the server.
You just have to work really slow or go off to make
coffee every so often. It's driving me mad, but I
expect the limit will be raised when the new server
comes. Sometimes changing browser will solve it. In
Mozilla, I am totally banned from editing for a few
minutes, but if I then switch to IE, it often lets me
edit, (but sometimes doesn't let me write anything in
the edit summary field). Strange.
