Classifieds messed up again?
 
I think it is revamped again and not good.

Many of us skip through the paid ones as we have seen them and not interested to page 3. We just want to see what is new to us not scroll through what has been seen. Now it looks like we cannot do that, just one page of new listings shows then you need to go through titled sections one by one.

Maybe it's ny iPad...I hope it is.

Not your iPad...

Bonnevie 07-30-2017 08:45 AM

yeah, I'm sorry it's changed. I used to be able to look at everything that was new. I liked it better that way.

villagetinker 07-30-2017 09:20 AM

This new arrangement is bad (IMHO), there is no way is seeing what was recently added, which is what I would usually do, oh well so much for the classified.....

villagetinker 07-30-2017 09:32 AM

ADMIN, could you add a button/listing for the newest items?

Debfrommaine 07-30-2017 10:49 AM

It got complicated..........did not even bother looking at Classifieds today.

fw102807 07-30-2017 12:41 PM

That is not a feature it is a bug

villagetinker 07-30-2017 01:16 PM

Agreed, no longer using it until this is fixed.

vinricci 07-30-2017 02:42 PM

Whose brilliant idea was this change?

Sweatman 07-30-2017 02:52 PM

Change can be a good thing. Unfortunately, in this case it was not. Very user UNfriendly. 👎👎

wisbad1 07-30-2017 03:16 PM

I too enjoy just looking at the listings new since the last time I looked. The new design does't let me to that.
Nor can I find an address for a webmaster to make sure someone is aware of the issue.

I vote for the old way!

waltwl 07-31-2017 03:59 PM

I guess I'll go back to Craigslist.

carol_baumer 07-31-2017 07:32 PM

I'm afraid I was not technologically literate enough to get beyond the 'featured' page one! Yikes.

jchase 07-31-2017 08:28 PM

A second vote for the old way, it worked well!

Will VDS 07-31-2017 09:34 PM

One picture is worth a thousand words, if can't see it why would you be interested in buying it ??????

LuckySevens 08-01-2017 12:22 PM

changes to Classifieds
 
What the heck happened to Classifieds? Why the format change Admin?

mscocco 08-01-2017 01:06 PM

Personally, I very much dislike the new format for the classifieds and have stopped visiting this site daily - used to be so easy to use but now it seems like the new format is just there to give an option to make money off of "featured ads'

Stuff is just difficult to look through or find....I get that it at least requires some way to respond to a seller, which is good, but it needs a lot of improvements.

KNOLEN 08-01-2017 01:19 PM

will it get fixed? can't even get anything to come up now!

Debfrommaine 08-01-2017 02:36 PM

Classified works perfectly from Tracfone and does not work at all from home laptop.

borjo 08-01-2017 03:21 PM

I tried to find my ad for a Western Elegante golf cart I put in recently. Couldn't find it. Search only showed one page, not the rest. So if anyone wants a Western, we got a good one.

villagetinker 08-01-2017 05:58 PM

The new format requires you to look at 21 (yes 21) categories to see what is listed, and no way to see what is new from the last time you looked. This is way too time consuming, wish they would go back to the old format.....JMHO.

Will VDS 08-01-2017 09:21 PM

Seems to me that someone has way to much time on their hands with nothing else to do but screw up something that was working fine, and now it is worth less,if it ain't broke don't try to fix it, just say'n.

Clubberjones 08-01-2017 09:40 PM

Can't even contact sellers because there info is not available. This is terrible.

Hi could you please forward me a pic or 2? We will be in the villiages aug 12 for a few weeks.

shbullet1@yahoo.com

Thanks

Debfrommaine 08-02-2017 04:40 AM

Would suggest that sellers put their contact info right in the ad itself - will save from trying to "find" it.

Lovey2 08-02-2017 06:33 AM

I am moving on to Next Door...that site works! I thought maybe when I was away something had been done to fix TOTV classifieds...NOT! It seems people have been posting their sale items in both spots. I certainly hope so for their sake.

JCMSr 08-02-2017 09:04 AM

Another vote for returning to the old format. From a buyers prospective not being able to see more than 12-18 hours of "new" listings without searching each and every category is a deal breaker. From a seller's prospective it is even worse unless you are willing to place a "Featured" add. Unless your items sells quickly it will be lost with the items that have been listed for days, weeks or even months. Not going to waste my time with the new format despite the fact that I have been pleased with my past experiences both in buying and selling using this site.

TOTV Team 08-02-2017 05:55 PM

Everyone this was a developer glitch and we are fixing so it will look like it has. Our apologies and thanks for your support and patience!

RonKlock 08-03-2017 01:45 PM

Thanks Admin! Its appears we have the best of both worlds for searching classifieds now.

I agree, this appears to be a good solution, please note: if you go past page 5, the boxes at the bottom do not advance, and you need to use the arrow to get to pages 6 and higher.

stevebotts 08-03-2017 04:30 PM

I can't see a picture at all now.

Fredster 08-03-2017 06:30 PM

Any idea of when the classifieds will be back to normal?

Will VDS 08-03-2017 09:16 PM

Thanks admin , things seem to be back to normal again.

stevebotts 08-04-2017 06:49 AM

I can't see pictures either

moerman 08-07-2017 10:38 AM

i can't post a classified. Get error message. What's up???

Moderator 08-07-2017 01:24 PM

Yep, there is a problem today with posting new classifieds.

Admin has been alerted and is on it.

Thanks for letting us know.
