    No problem, always expect a few that don't like it. Over 50% of our users didn't like the new FerrariChat.com software change end of 2003, but now you would have 99% kicking and screaming if I threatened to go back. :)

    I'm not done getting the classifieds setup right. The red colors are a little overpowering, so eventually we'll go to similar colors as the forum.

    If you can list out specific items you don't like, then maybe we can look at compromises or solutions. It would be nice if new software made things simpler and less complex while adding more functionality. That isn't always possible.

    Thanks.

    I'm running the idea by the forum developers so maybe we never have to resize an image again.

    Rob, I too, did not initially like the new set up, but now that it has some content and I can surf it, I would say it is an improvement and will make the ads site flow better. It really is a great feature of fchat. Hope you can make the resizing thing work for the site as well. As usual, keep up the good work and thanks for providing a place for all of us to get together!

    Rob,
    One thing I have noticed is you have to enter the price 2X before it takes.
    If not, it says "or best offer" after the first try.

    How do you post a new ad. I don't see anything that would let me do this?
    Thanks

    I really like the look, much more modern and in line with "the current FC look." If it would be possible to match the yellow/red bannering of FC, I would think its perfect, but that is just because that is what I use. :)

    My thoughts:

    Add a location box/item.
    In the profile, add a link to the FC profile of user that posted, if possible.

    I see no way to get in to place an ad. I must be logged in, as the screen welcomes me by my screenname and there's a place to log out. What do I do?

    Whe you hit "V8" you see several categories.

    "Ads Views Condition Price Posted Date"

    take out condition and put in location. Everyone will be excellent or good...and so not much is to be gleaned. Location IS important.

    Try the new Zip Code functionality, you enter your zip code, then it will tell you how far away the cars are that have entered their zip code.

    Haven't had any luck adding a Location field yet.

    The revised look is great and integrates much better with the look and feel of Ferrari chat

    Where are you clicking on the link? In the above tool bar? You are probably being directed to the old server, which has been shut off.

    Ah excuse me Rob but how can I post an ad? Also, can I assume that the want ad I posted last week has been lost with the new format.

    I send out newsletters and make announcements so I don't individually have to tell 15,000 users.

    Thanks,

    Can everyone tell me how they think the speed is now? We found and fixed a major culprit, but I haven't had a chance to test out all the way. Thanks

    Yes the link at the top of the page. Is there another way? If there is I have not seen it. Funny thing is if I use IE the link works, but if I use Firefox I get a 404.
