WHAT??? It’s less than a week before all our clients will have to be moved to a totally new interface, and Ovid change the name on one of the tabs???? Firstly, I do agree with the change, the wording “Ovid Syntax” has to be the worst I’ve seen for a while. But the timing is awful. Mind you, leaving it any later would have been worse, but still … this is Not Good. I don’t know about everyone else, although I have my suspicions that we’ve all been doing handouts and training and help guides for our clients. With LOTS of screenshots. Which will now all have to be re-done for Friday. And today is Wednesday (well, here it is). Not a lot of time. Quite a lot of work.
Mind you, it’s good that Ovid listened, and has acted. But still, NOT happy.

Hello!
It seems now that Ovid (at least in the US) is changing “Ovid Syntax” back to Advanced Search – good news eh? Also, there is the capability to change things back stage to have histories always displayed, change the name of tabs and which order they appear in etc etc. Don’t ask me for more details as I am only a front-end user and have no back-end experience. There is a lot of talk on Medlib-l about this and librarians in the US are also barking mad about the changes. Look at the archives to see the angst simmering away! Good news that Ovid is listening though (or are they … ?)
