Sorry if this has been covered already - but there doesn't seem to be any progress / working indication when uploading photos to a classified ad. It seems to process them in the background, but I just clicked "continue" and only the first was saved.

Also, slightly dubious email confirmation:

Subject: PistonHeads: Advert Live: AUDI TT QUATTRO
Body: Your advert is currently not live as it requires attention from a PistonHeads team member.

And I know I sound like a stuck record, but please please please do something about the image quality, I'm tempted to edit the ad to say "please contact me for decent photos" frown

We do have intentions to add a progress indicator for image upload.
Same with the image quality, though I personally don't feel it is that bad and is significantly better than other sites. Take Gumtree for example.

As for your ad being in moderation, our classifieds administrator will have that sorted for you soon.

No thanks, if you've got Gumtree you can keep it hehe

Seriously, this is not about people selling a cheap banger on Gumtree, there's an expectation of good quality images if you're buying or selling expensive cars. Here endeth the sermon!

Well we may be able to improve it, just have to get through some other tasks first. We've definitely got it in our backlog. smile

The emails really need some work. I now have one saying my ad has been approved and that I now need to pay for it. I don't due to time served which was identified when posting the ad. In the admin centre I can simply click Send Live and it goes live. Surely when no payment is required the as should just go live?
