Oracle Support Forums Now with New Look and More Forums

It looks like forums.oracle.com has got a new look:

Here is a snapshot of the old version:

In addition to the obvious change in the UI, new forums were added for Siebel, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards and more:

I have also noticed that there is a new forums RSS page. I like the changes, however, they introduce more page scrolling. By the way, you can find a more web2.0′ish forums skin at otnsemanticweb.oracle.com/forums.jsp.

Great Stuff.

I wish somehow they would UPDATE the forums in metalink with the same layout or combine the two. Give anything if metalink had RSS ..guess that a different wish list.

OTN wish list:
once you sign in to OTN (is there a greasemonkey script around?)
1. portal page of what you want to see..read
I am so spoiled by the igoogle layout
1. an otn forum that is auto update with PATCH/downloads information from metalink
…guess we could on and on ….I better stop..

thank for the info

Hi,

one disadvantage of the new layout is that i only get 8 forums displayed on my browser vs. >20 forums with the old layout.
Why is so much space wasted with white space?
