Don't you think that's being a bit drastic. We have been informed that Jack is waiting for an update! Add me to the list...
On December the 6th and 7th, I enquired about five cars that were advertised on PH - all private sales. I have mobile call charges totalling £68.21.
Yes, I should have checked the costs, yes I should have clicked the link.
I didn't realise call scams like this still actually existed in this day and age. I've put a lot of effort into all my websites making sure they comply to current regs with local rate phone numbers, shame Pistonheads doesn't do the same.

You might want to highlight the code of practice for phone-paid services to you management. The penalties can be (relatively) severe.
Alternatively, ask the managers to set up an account and join this thread. My guess is there is a risk that a disgruntled user files a complaint to the regulator, which would not help PH one iota.
I agree with the sentiment but, as vociferous as I have been about this, I think that the https issue is higher priority at the moment and given their track record so far, it doesn't appear to be within their capability to multi-task, so suspect that this will (unfortunately) take a back seat for the time being.
It's been seven years so far, so I doubt another week before we get another woolly update to say there is no update will make much difference.....
