Is the United board down?

I can't access it. Other forums are a little sluggish too for me, but United forum does not show at all.

I am also unable to access the United board. All others I've tried have been fine.

Hello everyone.

Yes, I'd have to say that there appears to be something wrong. I suspect server load at the moment. I was able to get in but it was ungodly slow. I'll keep an eye on it throughout the evening and see if it shapes up or if it's going to take more drastic measures.

Thanks for helping me keep an eye on it and for your patience in this continuing matter.

Well .. I'd say that it needs further attention. The entire thing is dog slow and forget about accessing the UA forum.

That's just indicative of UA's management and customer service, isn't it?

Well done, webflyer!

I think we'd rather that FlyerTalk not try to emulate the airlines' levels of customer service or satisfaction....

It's up again...Thanks.

I noticed while it was down that the total FlyerTalk Miles post count went down from over 500,000 post to way below 500,000 posts. Maybe the United forum disappeared for awhile?

At any rate, shouldn't there be a phase 2 on the 500,000 post contest as a result?

It would be nice if the tech folks at FlyerTalk would take a proactive stance by keeping its members informed and updated when problems exist.

I've never seen such an uninformative group ever. Great product, poor responsiveness to problems.
