Lately, if you try to access the OTN forums, you are more likely to get their generic error message than anything else:
http://www.oracle.com/splash/forums/index.html
that says:
Quote:
Oracle forums is experiencing technical difficulty. We are aware of the issue and are working as quick as possible to correct the issue. Please try again in a few moments.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
To speak with an Oracle sales representative: 1.800.ORACLE1.
To contact Oracle Corporate Headquarters from anywhere in the world: 1.650.506.7000.
To get technical support in the United States: 1.800.633.0738.
Since the url for this error page contains the word "splash" it has become known by that. In the following thread on their feedback forum:
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1772059&tstart=0
somebody said:

Today it would probably be more accurate to name this site Oracle Community Splash Screen Error, with a note that there is the occasional chance you would find a forum instead.
When we were finally able to post a reply, they all posted in triplicate. Also, I haven't received any watch emails in about a year and several other features work sporadically as well.

That's interesting. There are a few of us that have posted that we don't get watch emails, while others say they do not have a problem. I have double-checked everything. My OTN profile has the correct email address, which is the same one that used to work, my watches are being created whenever I post or reply, and it is not going to my junk mail. OTN once said that they cannot send to yahoo mail, but I have hotmail. What do you have? Except for the response about yahoo mail, OTN has simply ignored complaints from those of us that have problems getting watches as they ignore most other complaints. Even when they fix something, it is only temporary and will stop working with the next batch of changes, so I have given up complaining about anything and just use what I can when I can and spend most of my time here on this forum instead.
P.S. Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing. I have no problem with watch emails for this OraFAQ forum and never have. I am talking about the OTN (Oracle Technology Network) forums hosted by Oracle corporation using jive software.

Thought that was a given.

Common, just use Google and you will have the answers to your questions (and much more and you will know who he thinks he is and who others estimate he is).
