New Style advertising

[lanesra10]

IS it me, its taking 10 times longer load anything?

[ukgatecrasher]

Must be busy, or glitchy.

Mines reeeeaaallly slow and fails to load most ads at the moment.

Its very slow at the moment - hoping that improves - not a fan of the autotrader format with small pictures but it may grow on me.

Quick links are hilarious - I clicked on tunnel run specials (being the proud owner of a PSE car thought I would start there) first car is a Merc C class diesel!!

Utter 4rse if you ask me, what was wrong with the old format? It was so simple and easy to use, and it worked...

Does it really matter if we can't see the ads?

[davek_964]

I think perhaps ads = classifieds. The format appears different and I couldn't actually get into any actual model ads.

Having loads of the problems with the new classified site. Much prefer the old format.

2 words from the software guy: 1) cache 2) configuration (probably far from optimal at the moment).

I know some of the guys at Haymarket too; shouldn't be long before they sort it.

[Durzel]

Didn't even realise there was a new format (or more or less ads). Thanks Adblock!

[Peely]

Much too fussy and complicated !

Pleeeeeeez bring back the old one !!!!

I worked in IT for 35 years, and I'm sure if I'd allowed a new system to enter the public arena in this state, I would certainly have ended up in the job queue.

We were doing proper systems testing and software modelling 40 years ago, sorry guys, this is a poor effort .

Wot he said. De-bug it a million times, test it a million and one times, then launch it.

What is it with IT designers? They simply can't help themselves in bolting on "functionality" which is of no real world use, never works properly, slows things down and clutters the page up.

The old classified was fundamentally ok. A few basic flaws - kept reverting to price high to low every time you altered a filter, but nothing terrible. The marque division was good. If I had a magic wand I'd take a very simplistic approach. Search terms separated by commas. Exclude terms separated by commas and that's it.

I have not personally had experience of the problems listed.

However I have seen the volume and detail of the complaints. These are getting lengthy.

And like others, I have found the site down completely for some hours.

This cannot be in the best interests of PH or the users.

I do hope the obvious efforts to put this right are more successful than the original alterations.

If it aint broke........

Lots of contibutors saying the search facility will be TBTSSB and how wonderful it will be able to search by colour, engine size, transmission etc etc. Maybe if your looking for Silver 1.6 LX Mondeo, but for prime Pork, a total waste of time.
