New OTN Forums - not great yet

This weekend the OTN Forums got updated.

The forums went down for some time and when they finally got up again I got a lot of errors.
I cleared the cache of my browser and that helped at first sight, but after a while the problems were back again. Although there are some new features (tag, rich editor, new icons, …), I wonder if it really needs to be like that.

For me a forum needs to be fast, reliable and searchable, but that’s absolutely not the case! It’s down a lot and it’s even slower than before. I guess it’s because they just released this version.

Some other people already blogged about it too:
- Dietrich Schroff (with some nice screenshots)
- Amardeep Sidhu
- Paulo Vale
- Asif Momen
