That happened very quietly!

I like the large pics but why the change?

Something odd happens to the pictures on my iPad if I try and go to the next one and don't hit the exact right place I think. Unless I'm doing something wrong!

An awful lot of clicking and scrolling now required to view the pictures. Why?

Ah yeah, cheers. Weird that it switched over like that, I assumed that was the new format smile

Must agree that there is far to much clicking to be done to view pics. Can we have a left/right arrow to click on the main pic rather than having to go down to the smaller pics and scroll along?

Thank goodness for this..

The new format is a real pain. Desktop doesn't seem to work on the iPhone though.. What a shame.

After last times mess up I would have thought it would have been left alone, just been on now and just can't be bothered. Not happy :-(

I like it apart from a couple of things, such as when you click on view larger, the photo is a bit smaller and you have to click on the photo you want to see. I'm guessing the change was made for touch responsiveness, though I'm not sure why there's a need for it on the desktop site.

Oh dear another upgrade which makes the classifieds harder to use . What was wrong with the previous set-up ? This one is world of clicking and scrolling just to see one ad and it cerainly isn't easier on the eye .

Is this another change to for iPad browsing that compromises everyone else ?

Have you pressed the desktop button?

I did and it now looks exactly the same as it use to (on my ipad).

Desktop button ?

I'm not using the mobile site to start with . Last night it was fine and today it's large pictures and lots of scrolling just to look at one advert .

I found the desktop button at the top left of the site but it wasn't doing anything and I seemed to be stuck on the mobile site . A clearance of cookies and a full virus scan seems to have sorted the problem but it seems strange how only this website was affected .

Of all the tablet changes required this is the one that is change for changes sake. The Autotrader format is grim
