"How you earn award miles on flights will change on March 1, 2015." with a "Lean more" link to http://mileageplusupdates.com/, but that renders a blank page (with just a dot) for the time being.

What "enhancement" can we expect this time

Just to be clear, the changes look like it impacts mileage accruals on *A flights, not a change to UA flights as far as I can tell. There will probably be some minor changes across the board. I'd bet there are less fares that will earn miles or full miles.
