UA Board access

For the past couple days, my ability to access the UA section has been sporadic, while all other areas have not caused any problems whatsoever. Anyone else?

Me too. Netscape 4.7 if that makes a difference.

Thought it was my imagination. Glad someone mentioned it. Access via the "Hop To" pulldown menus is very long, compared to other forums.

I'm using IE5 on both my office computer (near T-1 speed) and at home (28.8Kb), both connections result in delayed access to the United Forum. This evening at home the Forum opened up and there were no active threads at all (I use the "Last 2 days" setting). When I manually refreshed the browser, everything appeared normally.

Also Netscape 4.7, and similarly when I get to the United forums. Extremely slow, and often lately, locking up completely, requiring me to log-off-default to continue.

My theory is that this is due to the verbosity of you UA flyers!!

this (european) Monday-morning: no access to the UA forum with Netscape (4.7, Mac-version) - at the same time no problem with Internet Explorer 5.0 (Mac-version)

at this very moment, three attempts to open the UA forum failed, even when using MS Explorer 5.02 (Mac-version).

IE5.5 works fine it seems!

So far!

With T-1 access, all others come up blazingly fast. The UA board took 15-20 seconds to load, but did come up. Using IE 5.0

My experience with both Netscape 4.7 and IE5.0 is exactly the same as Shadow's. All other forums "load" fast as usual, but United takes about 15 seconds to come up. Seems United delays have spread to FlyerTalk!

I gave up trying to load the UA board tonight--started to load very slowly, and I didn't want it to lock-up as before. Just stopped the loading, and went down to the next forum of interest.
No other thread or forum on this site is causing this problem for me, only the UA board.

Now also can't post a reply. It just sits there counting down to nothing.

I'm looking into this matter good people and I appreciate the fact that you've brought this to our attention. Doe's anybody have any other observations to make?

I've viewed that area of our site through several different browsers and have been unable to recreate the situation you seem to be encountering.

Thank you for your help.
