The Upgrade To a New Website Version – How It Affects You

On Sunday, March 17th, 2019, we launched an upgraded version of our service and website.

Summary Of Changes

Here is a summary of the changes that were made:

  1. The existing website that was located at www.socialoomph.com changed its domain name to legacy.socialoomph.com.
    Users with active subscriptions (paid accounts) can continue to log in and use the old (legacy) website until they cancel and terminate their subscriptions.
    New accounts registrations and upgrades are disabled at legacy.socialoomph.com. In other words, free accounts cannot be upgraded, and when a paid subscription terminates it cannot be renewed in the legacy service.
  2. We added several new social networks to the upgraded service. In total the upgraded service supports thirteen social platforms.
  3. We narrowed the focus of SocialOomph to only the scheduling and publishing of social posts and blog posts.
  4. To use the upgraded service, you will need to register a new account at http://www.socialoomph.com.
  5. We added team cooperation features, including review and approval of posts depending of the role of the team member.
  6. We added video uploads where appropriate, for example, Facebook pages and Twitter profiles.
  7. We introduced a new pricing structure with more tiers and expansion options.
  8. There is a new affiliate system, which means existing affiliates will need to again register as an affiliate and use a completely different affiliate link. Existing affiliate links will not work with the upgraded version of the service.
