Old classifieds were much better imo. The new format for me auto-selects all options so I have to go thru and uncheck all the boxes for what I don't want to see. It also, as a default shows ads that have already expired so I have to uncheck that box too. When doing a new search I have to always go in and add my country, this is all very time consuming, confusing and not user friendly at all. Oh, no picture previews show up either.

This just so typical in the web page world. Somebody has to make changes just for the sake of making changes. All the information is the same, nothing new. Just have to go through different routes and more buttons to get the same information, AT BEST! You have to re learn everything just to get back to the same place. I'll be damned if I can figure out why. It must just be a way to extract our information to sell to someone else.

I have been advertising on RCU for years. This new marketplace is terrible. Previously, I was able to post an AD for about 8 weeks for $35. It got a few thousand views. Now I place an AD for 2 weeks at $22 with enhancements and get only a couple of hundred views. Needless to say, sales on RCU have fallen drastically. I have not seen any of the enhancements on the home page or forums. RCGroups is looking much better if things don't change. IMO these changes are a strategy to maximize profits for RCU. This is an over the top move that screws the user.

Almost 2 months later and it's still a disaster.
So far in 2 months it is not "easy-to-use", it does not allow "easy sorting and searching for exactly what you're looking for" (RCU has long had one of the worst search engines of any forum out there)
I keep going back, HOPING that somehting is different, but it's not, it's the same disaster each time. It's self abuse, maybe wishful thinking, I don't know. It's a disaster through and through either way.
We are taking another huge step toward an easy-to-use buy-and-sell Marketplace! This new marketplace completely replaces the old sales forums, and allows easy sorting and searching for exactly what you're looking for, and many ways for sellers to emphasize their offerings -- both individual and commercial.

Hi guys,
We are indeed still working on this. Those of you who were nice enough to send us your notes when the marketplace first came out in March certainly know all the changes that we have already made. And more are in the works. Thank you for your patience.

Ad another very annoying glitch,, every time you check a box to filter your results it refreshes the screen and jumps you to the top of the page,, you then need to scroll back down again to make another selection,, then bang,, back to the top,,, Might sound minor,, but annoying never the less
