Good evening PH Towers.

I wasn't sure in which of the recent New Classifieds threads to put this post, hence the new thread.
I've noticed a couple of things when going onto the new Classifieds page - it's finally getting there guys, so hats off to you for all the excellent work!

When on the new Classifieds home page:
You think it has loaded, so start scrolling down the page.
However after a few seconds it takes you back to the top of the page. I've noticed this happens in conjunction with the writing/line cursor appearing in the "Keywords" box.

The other thing relates to the Letter short cuts just under the criteria search.
All of the short cuts work except for letters D, M & S.

These aren't major issues, just something I think you should know smile

Apart from that, I'm enjoying the new classifieds. Good work PH Towers thumbup

The IE comes with Windows 7 Home. Sorry I cannot be more specific, but I'm not sure how to find out which IE I have paperbag

Hello again guys.

I would like to amend this statement to apply to all pages which load. Same "problem" as above, just happens on every page I load.

Also, one more thing, but now relating to the Keyword search itself.
Say for example you select to search Mercedes section for "Black Series". Whether you type in Black Series or "Black Series", the results include non-Black Series cars.

While, as before, this isn't exactly a major issue, I'm sure this type of issue may arise when people attempt different searches.

Maybe something more for PH Towers to look in to? scratchchin

All the best,
Darren

Darren,

Thanks for the feedback, useful stuff.

On the search, what you could do is this:

- Select all Mercedes first.
- Use Black+Series rather than BlackSeries or Black Series.

The search is literal, so in two text strings you've suggested it'll either search for all of the words Black and Series, or only BlackSeries (without the space).

I've done this for you, so you could even just save this search.

Black Series

There's always the possibility that you'll get stuff turning up just outside the description (if I added the sentence "This car looks just as good as a Black Series" to one that wasn't for example) because you're doing free text searches, but I'd still say that it gets you to the Black Series cars far quicker than you can on the old site, which is the point.

Does this help?

Brilliant Stuart.
Thank you very much for the advice smile
Generally, I do find the new site much quicker and generally better than the old, and I commend PH on their work.

Thanks again thumbup
