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

I don’t know about others, but when I clicked on the link associated with the subscription text block, I went to a page that provides purchasing information, nothing that indicates our subscription to the OED. See the screenshot below. –brp

Dear Trinity,
Thank you very much for taking it forward!
It seems from various responses that I am not the only one that was confused by it .... and foresees confusion for users more generally.
Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for your email. Yes, all users with a subscription see that text block on their screen even after logging in. I believe when it's clicked on it will go into detail about your active subscription. I have made note of your request though and will pass it along for the team meeting that is happening tomorrow regarding the new platform.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.

Kind regards,
Trinity

Hello,
We appear to have full access, BUT I find it really confusing that at the very center of the landing page is the following:
[cid:image003.png at 01D9B999.F4F4F790]

Because I know that we have a subscription, I just went ahead and tried out a word etc and proceeded, but I think this will throw most users.
Are others also seeing this right splat in the middle of the Webpage?
OUP: Can this be made NOT to show when one already has an active/current subscription?
Thanks for considering.

Thanks OUP.

Cornell University Library has partial access to the new platform.  Right now, the word search works fine, but clicking on the other tabs (meaning, etymology, pronunciation, etc) points to a login screen.  Can I assume the lack of access is part of the 48-hour transition?
