I find the new Classified BETA very frustrating. The previous system was perfect in my opinion. Is there any way I can access the previous classified ad system?

I should have explained. I'm referring to the search system - it's not nearly as good as the old one imho.

The previous system was dreadful. I don't ever buy cars based on which one was most recently advertised, why would anyone want to veiw the adverts this way by default? Also I sometimes get picky about whther I want a manual gearbox, or a certain sized engine, or a particular fuel type, or body style, and the old system just lumped them all together under "3-series".

Admittedly it was great if you wanted to buy an Alfa SZ, but dreadful if you wanted to buy a petrol 330 coupe with a manual gearbox.

I had a car up for sale on PH for 2 weeks, it was the only car of type/age up at the time. It sold via Ebay and the buyer told me it didn't appear in his PH Beta search, even though he'd been looking there for a couple of weeks.

Of course, during those 2 weeks it was on PH I reduced the price a couple of times thinking it wasn't getting any interest, but it sold on Ebay (for an offer based on the reduced price) same day it went up.
