It might be me and if so please could someone guide me but - I have just been to the Classifieds page to search for a Bailey Unicorn Cadiz. Previously, if searching you could put in the make and the model of van you were looking for and this search showed up about 6 Cadiz for sale before. Now with the changes you cannot put in the model, just Bailey. Now it is showing 511 vans! I really haven't got the time/patience to search through this lot!! Is it me? Any guidance would be appreciated because surely this can't be right.

Just been looking at the Classifieds, searching for a particular item of 'accessories', and I wonder how many people want to buy a:

'We always have' (in Durham)

or one of several

'See description for (in Durham)

or even a

'This is advertised in Merseyside..................'

It's quite apparent that the title of some of these ads is taken from the first part of the description. It might be interesting to put an advert in the Classifieds, and see just what bits of it end up where!

FTAO Kimberley,

As you are aware there are a lot of comments re the new website but my comment,following on from my previous one above, concerns the Classifieds.

I have been looking again and there is no longer the option to enter a key word.

Not only that, if you use the drop down menu, as you have suggested, to select Accessories then Awnings you get a list of results.

BUT if you then try to sort the results-I tried sorting on highest price- the drop down reverts to ALL accessories rather than the selected Awnings??

As I mentioned it is also puzzling why the drop down menu is not in alphabetical order.

I have seen comments on other threads re making CC aware hence this post and as I wish to use the classifieds I am concerned that the issues are putting many off looking.

I've had a few goes at browsing the classified since the new site has been up and running. Not impressed. Sorry. Not like it used to be - not averse to change but it needs to be as good as it was or better.
