No - there was a problem with your (and mine, and everybody's) favorites. The should be converted from the old system by Nov, 9th. But if you checked your favs in that period (nov 6-9), oracle "assumes you added new, and will not convert the old". Great... I ran into the sequence of being forced to go to MOS on Nov 6th. Checked my favs - gone! Checked faq's and found above comment. Ergo: all favs gone.

Had nothing to do with flash or html version - just tried html today (luckily the old Patchset links are unchanged in the html version), with the same link above
Tip when stuck at 90%: keep hitting refresh!
