Why can't I reply to questions?

It's happened to me a few times on here. I go to answer a question someone has posted and red text appears at the top of the page saying "Error Thread" or words to that effect. It explains I am trying to post a comment in someone else's post but i'm not. I'm just trying to reply to it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

maybe they've deleted the thread. Are you trying to post too frequently possibly. Once I tried to post, and an error came up, and then I had to wait another 30 seconds

I've just looked and the post is still up. It's called Transferring degrees after foundation year, student finance help. It was posted by someone called delagore. It wouldn't let me post a reply. This has happened to me a few times.
