A few things to help you transition to using our new website ...
Personal Logins
If you had a personal login account with us on the old site, you can login to your account on the new site by clicking on ‘My OSCAR’ (top right of every page). The first time you do this, you will need to request a new password by clicking ‘Forget password?’ as the new system didn’t import passwords from the old site. After you get your password reset email and click on the link, you can actually use your current password again if you want. If you don’t have an account and want to create one, feel free. If you had Saved Searches on our old site, you will need to recreate these again. Instructions for any of these things in your personal account can be found at https://oscar.org.uk/about/using-oscar/personal-account-instructions
Organisational Accounts
If you had access to an organisation through your account, you should be able to do everything you could do before … adding, editing, deleting org details, jobs, resources and events. There are some things that have changed, though, so please check through everything, including any job, event or resource listings you have. You will notice, for instance, that we now have Industries instead of Activities and you get to choose 3 (instead of 5 on the old site); 1 primary and 2 secondary for every listing you submit (including your organisation's listing). There is a new Industry called 'Mission' so if that's your main ministry, make sure it's your primary industry. If you need new instructions for any of these things in your org account, see https://oscar.org.uk/about/oscars-extra-services/oscars-advertising-packages/organisation-account-instructions
Checking Info
We have done extensive testing, but there are probably things we have still missed. Most of these can be corrected easily … we just need your help to find them. Once you have had a good look around, let us know if you think your accounts are missing anything that you can't correct or add yourself. It may be that not everything has migrated across correctly. If you want to compare things to the old site, you can still access and login to that temporarily at https://oldsite.oscar.org.uk (although any adjustments on the old site will not be saved on the new site).
Please also make notes of:
1.    Any missing info or broken links you see
2.    Anything that doesn’t work as you think it should
3.    Anything that is confusing or doesn’t look right
Send these notes to [email protected]
Thank you for being part of OSCAR and we hope you like our new system.
Kind regards,
Mike Frith
Founding Director
OSCAR
