right now, whenever I click on a new thread/response, 75% of the time I get a “error” message…
I had some glitches, but it’s OK for me now.
me too, thanks Colibri 
Our tech guru John (Jerry has moved on) advises me that another STM site had problems due to connectivity issues at the server colocation facility from 4:15 to 4:45 p.m. CST. This likely affected us as well. Things seem to be OK now.
WHAT??? Jerry is no longer with us? And you only first mention it tangentially like this? (Or was there some message about it before?)
