I seldom post, but I browse threads slowly, and I get the error page whenever I've waited too long to click the "more" link at the bottom of the page.
It seems that each time I click the "new" link it resets a cookie (or posts a hidden form field, I haven't checked which) that identifies the time of that click. Then when this time expires I get the error upon my next click of the "more" link.
I cannot just reload the page in this situation because the page being displayed is the error page, so I have to manually strip off the characters that appear in the URL after "http://news.ycombinator.com/ http://news.ycombinator.com/ ... and when I do this I get the same new page as if I had clicked the "new" link. This is why I suggested providing a clickable "new" link on the error page.
