Michael, this is not a cache problem. Almost everyone seems to be having this problem, and it seems to be getting worse. I was also having the same problem of finally getting into United and then it showing no posts. Later that problem seemed to be gone, but still can't enter the forum most of the time. And when I can, it usually takes several minutes of waiting before the forum loads.
Could it be something related to the high number of posts in the United forum? Perhaps it has become so large that the "cookie" that looks for posts "in the last 2 days" and such, is taking too long to search through the data base?

Buzz is even larger but was not slow when United didn't work.

I notice that this Monday through today (Friday) the problems for me accessing the UA board always start at about 15:45 hours swiss time (that is 07:45AM Colorado Springs time). Only minor access-problems from 07:00 to 15:45 swiss time (11PM to 07:45AM mountain time).

I believe that the problems are possibley related to the increase in traffic in this particular forum. I'm seeing all of the postings but even on the very fast connection that I have it seems all too slow. Please continue to help me keep an eye on this situation and give me feedback about your experince as I feel this will help me pin the problem down.

if you are desperate - you can still 'produce' the posters using the search funtion for the UA forum (search last 24 hours, don't enter anything else).

I haven't been able to get there for days. Either it doesn't connect at all, or I get there quickly, but no threads are posted.

If you can manage to get into the United forum and you see no posts, go up to the top of the page and select "View All Topics" from the pull-down menu that you probably have set to "View Topics From The Last 5 Days" or something. This will then display all the posts to you.
I hope this action is just a temporary neccessity!
