...now appalling..

Haven't used it for a while but it's now painful and non-intuitive. Used to be simple and brilliant..

Thank you for your feedback, would be great to get a bit more information about what you find non-intuitive and so bad about the classifieds?

Haven't you seen the multiple posts and comments over the last year or so on how crap classifieds have become?

Of course, and I have replied to nearly all of them. Thus I will give the same courtesy to this poster and allow them to explain further what they find annoying.

The classifieds is made up of many parts and 95% of complaints are to do with the display advertising. I am interested in other usability issues as usually when asked there are only a few that give genuine constructive feedback that we can work with.

I am sure that in whatever industry you work in that, like me, you welcome all feedback as often and whatever the positive or negative slant it has.

I have an ad saved in my classifieds account which I am trying to edit and then send live but I keep getting the 404 error!

Within the MyAds section, I can see my advert

I then click on the Edit ad black button and proceed to edit the ad

I then skip though all the process (adding pics etc)

I am then faced with a 'Your ad is ready - Continue' green button and when I click it I am faced with the 404 error.

When I hover over the green button the URL is http://www.pistonheads.com/selfservice/submitadver...

On the 404 page, the error is http://www.pistonheads.com/error/notfound?uri=/sel...

Please can you look into this and fix it so I can sell my car and buy beer! smile

I don't l know if this is just me but when I click on the load 15 more link at the bottom of the classified cars list it does nothing and the link disappears so I can only ever view the top 15 cars for sale !

I'm using an iPhone 6 if that makes any odds...

Can't list any more than 15 classifieds at a time.

It's hindering my boxster search!

I found the formatting to be a joke when creating an advert.

Well I say formatting, there was no option to actually add anything like bold etc in. But how it dealt with line breaks was shocking.

Copying from word messed it all up completely, and I couldn't actually get it spaced out in a fluid manner. Ebay was a much more pleasant copy / paste.

Also while I'm at it .. is there no hit counter for ads? Very useful tool for sellers.
