Oracle and more - Amardeep Sidhu

Just had a glimpse. OTN forums has got a new look. A bunch of new features has also been added. Some of the new things i noticed are:

• That simple editor is now rich text editor. Also supports emoticons.
• You can add tags to a post and it displays the tag cloud (for all the posts) on right side.
• A post can be marked as a question and then there will be some points system based on answers.
• That list of Top users doesn’t show those users n ACEs. It display a new list of people instead.
• Report Abuse button has been added (with each reply).

May be there are some other changes too. That is what i noticed in the very first look.

Nice change indeed ! I am not happy with the font though, it is very small

I just opened OTN forums and found:

High availability live

Finally finally finally a small sticky has been posted on OTN Database forums homepage. But its there only on Database forums page not on PL/SQL. It reads like:

Posters, please mind these common-sense rules when participating here:

- When asking a question, provide all the details that someone would need to answer it. Consulting documentation first is highly recommended. (See http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2007/03/02 for more hints.)
- When answering a question, please be courteous; there are different levels of experience represented here. A poorly worded question is better ignored than flamed - or better yet, help the poster ask a better question.

Thanks for doing your part to make this community as valuable as possible for everyone!
