It isn't just you. This site has been all but unusable lately.

If you have Outlook Express or another newsgroup reader, you'll have much
better luck using them to access (pardon the pun) these newsgroups.
 
Why do I keep getting this error message that Community Posts are no longer
available?

As Jerry says, the Community webpage is going through some hard times. Try
using a Newsreader; I use Agent, Outlook Express (or its newer incarnation
Windows Mail) will work too.

Create a new Account and set the News Server to msnews.microsoft.com. Let it
search for newsgroups and subscribe to the ones you want
(microsoft.public.access and its child groups, along with any others you
want).

The messages actually exist on this news server. The Communities Webpage is
just a (not very good, slow, and buggy) way of looking at the newsgroup; the
newsreader just cuts out the middleman.
