Fixing Re-caching

Re-caching issues

[notdrowning]

I have another question - I'm the unfortunate employee whose personal information and work address and nasty comments were posted in a number of forums online by an ex-colleague. There is one thread in particular that I really want re-cached, but since it is a forum thread and not on a website, I can't do much about it. I have tried to update the thread with new posts and have gotten our names removed, and the *third* page of the thread has been cached but not the second, which is where the false information is - and it's not even about me, it's about my husband! This is driving us both crazy. If someone (i.e., a new employer) googles our names this thread (page 2) comes up as a supplemental result. It was last cached in May last year. Is there anything I can do to try and get this page re-cached? It's a popular forum, but I can't do anything more to change the content of the thread. Can anyone give me an estimate on how long it might be until it is cached again with the new content (i.e., our names removed)? Thanks!

If it is a Supplemental Result then it can take a year or more for the information to fade away.

You might find that the page is returned as a normal result when you search for current content on that page, and as a Supplemental Result when you search for the information that has been removed from the page. If that is so, then there is nothing much you can do. Google often keeps the previous version of a page as a "historical" Supplemental Result.

^ Thanks. I guess this could be happening, however...

I had my name and the name of my organisation posted in another thread in this forum (a very popular one, visited daily) and it was coming up on Google and I managed to get the mods to edit the post in question so that my info was removed. It was cached as well. A couple of weeks later, I searched for exactly the same information and it was gone and every page in this popular thread had been cached just a couple of days earlier.

My question is, if I try and boost the current thread as much as possible or create links to it from my blog (for example), will this increase the chances that it will be crawled again and the cache updated? Right now, my information has been removed from the current page, it's just the cached version that I need fixed. Thanks for your help.
