Geoff,
I can't duplicate your problem.
Within the past several weeks I had the same problem with the Catalina page coming up when I tried to get to the Pearson page, then after several days (about the time I had decided to give up on SBO) it magically reappeared. So I guess just keep checking.
Just to clarify how I get to the Pearson forum, here is how I do it:
1. Open SBO
2. Click on Forums (below the SBO banner heading
3. Click on "brand specific forums
4. Click on Pearson
5. Click on Forums again (the one in step 2)
the Pearson page should then appear.
Good luck,
Dave
