So, can we have an option that let's us see every model in a certain category. I.e kit cars....I want to see every car available, not just certain manufacturers, is that possible?

What was so easy about the old classifieds?

Not sure I follow you. If I choose years from 2012 to 2014 I can still choose kit cars, click view results, and see all models.

Because you could scroll through the list easily and look at various models easily have you not noticed you now have a lot less cars advertised?

I do agree there should be a view all models option when browsing through the makes list.

On the latter point, we've just celebrated the milestone of having the most cars ever listed on PistonHeads this month. So, no, I can't say we've noticed a drop.

But if you do it that way round you have to manually tick every single model box within that make, which is a monumental pain in the arse. And you definately can't do it at all using the 'browse by model' layout.
You shouldn't have to. When I click "Kit Cars" all models are selected by default.

You can then either deselect all (first option) or untick the models you don't want.

Well, for the second week now I have been unable to access any classifieds adverts from manufacturers that begin with an 'O' onwards. Its just a blank white screen from that letter down! Well done Pistonheads. Also when I try and enter a specific search at the top of page the search tool gives me a haphazard selection of models from the manufacturer I have selected and won't let me just select one model.

I have never had such problems before. This is all since the introduction of the new format. I've more or less given up on Pistonheads classifieds now after having bought and sold every single car that's gone through my hands in last 6/7 years on here.

There's always some malady in the site as the constant upgrades (downgrades in my opinion) are rolled out..very poor

AutoTrader is now being used by me regularly for the first time in many years

You seem to be the only one with this lack of makes after O, Bill.

What device are you using? Browser?

Matt, any feedback on the postcode thing? Should the site be remembering it when i'm logged in or even logged out?
I don't know why we don't save it if you're logged in, but we wouldn't save it if you're not logged in for security reasons. It's the first I've heard of anyone requesting it.
