All day today (since 6:45 am pacific time) all of FT has been real slow and MilesBuzz and UA forums timeout on me. Have not been able to get into either one at all today. Rest of web is fine for me. I am on a 512k fractionalized T1 line at work.

United timed out my last several attempts. Can't get in at all.
And today even the main FlyerTalk Miles page takes about a minute to come up. Even from different computers (one with a T1 line).

That's funny because I logged on to FlyerTalk and immediately noticed a vast improvement in speed and performance.
Was literally sailing through the forums just like the good old days.
I then I realized why: United was totally gone.

In the past couple of weeks I have rarely been able to access the United forum. I also have found great slowness for other forums.
I am on the east Coast, try generally from noon to 11pm Eastern time.
For example, right now (1:30pm) I go to "Airline Miles" link, then scroll down to UNITED and click.
This link is "http://www.flyertalk.com/forumcgi/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=United&number =50&DaysPrune=5&LastLogin="
After a long time, I am presented with the single drop down box of selections and the error "You did not select a specific forum or archive. Please go back and try again." I choose UNITED and click GO again and come back to this page again.
Hope this helps.
Of couse, now that I have posted this, I finally got in... :-)
With the strange results mentioned above, where messages appear and disappear, is it possible that there are multiple servers for load balanacing and some are not exact copies of the other server?

Yes, it's not opening for us as well. We're also having problems with the American forum again. Our admin is looking at the server and Michael will be contacting InfoPop again. We've implemented the suggestions they gave us to optimize performance, and it looked promising at first, but obviously there's something else going on...
Sorry for the continuing problems with those forums; we're just as exasperated.
