[Eril-l] New Oxford English Dictionary site now live ~4890383

Tue Aug 1 12:50:30 PDT 2023

We're having the same issue at Ohio Wesleyan University. I do one search,
no problem but no proxy retained in the URL. I click on the OED logo to
start over, and we no longer have access to the tabbed content.
