Hello,

We have the current stanza for OED but are still encountering the same
issue. The first time we access the new site in a browser session, the url
doesn't contain our proxy url but we're able to search and view all of the
tabs for a word. The second time in the same browser session the url
contains our proxy but we can't view the tabs for a word.

We have an open ticket with Oxford and I'm wondering if anyone is currently
having this issue.

Thank you,

Kenyon Stuart
