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.

A big improvement.

…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?
