who looks at the classiflies as much as they used too ?

[mrdemon]

I used to look every day a year or so ago, but I still don't think this new format works that well and I tend to look only when some one posts a link now.
it used to be a daily look and it's maybe once a week these days due to the pain of it all.

not sure now long we have had the new format , maybe a year or so, but even with all these fixes the old format just worked and was simple to view.
some times on the Ipad nothing even comes up even now.
or you click on a car and nothing happens, and you have to scroll down the page of cars to refind it again.

I suggest that you split the second point out as it is a bit leading...

- What if I still use the classifieds as much as I did before but I hate the new format?
- What if I use the classifieds less but love the new format?

Need a few more answer options to make it a truly fair poll

I use Autotrader now for buying and selling. The new format is to much hard work, it never works. Nor is it easy to view.

there needs to be a third choice.

Who never used the classifieds and still does not

gets my vote

Ironically I got this whilst trying to answer the poll

I used to regularly plot my lottery win garage via the PH classifieds, but since they no longer work on an original iPad I can't. Autotrader it is for me now.

I got this around 4 times before it eventually worked.

[Heartworm]

Same here, and their app on the iPad is really good I think

[bga]

I much prefer the new format but do struggle on the iPad sometimes.

[TonyRPH]

I was recently looking for another car.

I tried the PH classifieds and within 10 minutes I was back on http://www.autotrader.co.uk/

And I also got the same error mentioned above when trying to vote.

ETA: And I notice the URL parser doesn't seem to be working properly.

To be fair that was the response to any changes many years ago. The kerfuffle when Pie & Piston was split from GG was spectacular. We don't loike change round 'ere!

[Podie]

I still use the older method (the list of cars) as I know what I want to look for.

Went for a browse in Parts this morning, realised a trader had bombarded it with ads, so gave up ....

[K50 DEL]

I've completely given up with the PH classifieds, they simply don't display on my screen, the different elements are all over the place, images don't load etc etc

[anonymous-user]

I don't use it as much, but purely because I'm not looking for a car at the moment

Works absolutely fine for me, iPad, PC, no bother.

[TheLordJohn]

I think it would be prudent for an employee of PH to see the results of this poll...!
Perhaps they could amend the title in 2 or 3 areas, too.

I'm not averse to changes - when said changes are comprehensively tested prior to going live.

However - there have been many occasions over the past few years where I have felt like a beta tester on here.

And more often than not any issues raised are either completely ignored, or treated with an apathetic response.

Sadly, one is left with the impression that there is no real skill behind the site development at times.

Oh, and upon visiting this topic again, I got this error (has happened each time I've clicked on the topic - and I have to click back and try again).
