Been using the Quick search "last 72 hour" link off the Pistonheads Home page with no issues in the past, but tried it today and it showed 003492 adverts added in this period, but when I selected "Private Only" adverts to be displayed this number went straight to 000000, so It seems as if the 72 hour private only adverts function is not working (tried private adverts with no time limit on the Beta page and they show ok I think)
I Tested the 72 hour feature on the old Classifieds and it does return lots of pages of Private only Adverts, so that proves that they have been added.
Have also now tested the "last 24 hour" link off the Pistonheads Home page and the same problem is happening when "Private Only" adverts are asked to be displayed.

Hope it's an easy fix for ya when you get back from Le Mans!! wink
Thanks for this. We'll take a look in the morning. Right now, time to sleepsleepsleepsleepsleep

Just to update this one...

During the Le Mans weekend we had a slight problem with the automatic syncing of adverts between the old site and the beta site, so no new adverts were being ported across. Thus causing the bug you see above. We have fixed this now so all good.

Not sure if this lies with the adverts or the beta classifields

but - I been doing some searches for a 5 door Focus ST from 2010 onwards, and out of the 52 results only 2 are ST's
The rest are normal focuses.

Not sure if people are just putting the wrong in the adverts or not.....

This is an issue on both the current and beta site. The rules for putting the cars into Focus ST is picking up all the cars that are Focus Style due them having ST in the word Style. We will look at the rules for this and try and get them working better.

If you add BHP to the search then this will remove the slow cars

using the mobile site I've been struggling with choosing make and manufacturer I can't get the scrolling to work all the time, this is on a large screen phone.

other than that I'm loving it,

Thanks for the feedback. First job post launch is a dedicated mobile site, so we'll get that sort of thing nailed for you.
