I must admit I'm a little disappointed by the removal of the 0 to 60 times from adverts

I've always liked to compare these times as a rough guide when comparing makes and models before buying for friends and family

there's always a few surprises more bang for your buck!

any reason why they've been removed or is it just that PH is getting politically correct these days?

Not too sure what you mean TBH, I've just picked an ad at random

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/b...

and it displays 0-60 time.

I have seen that some ads don't but I put that down to the ad compiler not putting them in. smile

As Al says, it is simply down to advertisers not listing the 0-60 time.

Why do people always jump to the conclusion that PH has gone "all politically correct"?!? If that were the case we'd probably have shut most of our forums by now! hehe

Anyway, I hope this answers your question.

It doesn't for me confused

They seem to have been removed on all the ads I have looked at over the last 2 days.

UPDATE

just looked at this on my other computer, and it seems that if I use edge and firefox, I get the 0 to 60 times up?

but if I use internet explore

they don't show?

any ideas? maybe it's something to do with the webpage/code??

From a quick investigation, it appears that some fields are not displayed when using Internet Explorer. I'll check with the team to see if this is a known issue.

Thanks for the feedback, and well spotted!

Would you rather we jump to the conclusion that PH's website is broken? wink

Firefox was working OK for me. Could you try with this ad and let me know if "0 to 62 in 6.0 secs" does not appear in the Performance section?

If it doesn't work, could you let me know which device and version of firefox you are using?

Many thanks,

I also can't see 0-60 on that advert in the latest versions of Chrome, IE or FireFox (on a windows 10 machine)

Must be a difficult one to fix.

For any developers reading this it would be useful to know whats happening that needs fixing and what the fix is
