Dear all @QL, As I mentioned that it is become too complex and is not user friendly now.

I don't think the helpdesk is also usefull as the mails sent are never answered, hence this forum. I feel by changing the site it has created opportunity for sites like Dubizzle etc... at least I got my deal done through that.

1. Many times while posting adv it says 'violating guidelines' it would be better if the specific guideline is listed, so that we can make the required changes.

2. Also the filters have disappeared for the search option which is making difficult to search if we need any particular brand, model etc...

I hope you can atleast look at the basic changes first...

Its very complicated and also I think not SERVING the PURPOSE of its existence. Again, we shall wait for sometime and see as the devs are working on it.

I agree 100% this forum has no logic. The db behind it is obviously f8!ked and it is not at all user friendly

What's the need to change & change what if all the functions are going to come back ?

The site seems overly complicated now. Most of us prefer the "recent posts" tab which can take us to the latest posts. I don't want to navigate into forums etc.

By mohdata• 17 Oct 2013 14:32

good to hear its a work in progress; the two main issues right now, as i see it, are:

1) The 'recent posts' tracker isn't available; no way to track the posts one has commented on.

2) Login details cannot be saved; one needs to log in each time they visit the site, if the browser was closed

Then why role out any changes at all until at least you can at least match the facilities the old site had.

Just another step backwards for Qatar.

Hi ArunB - thanks for your feedback. As mentioned previously, the site it huge so it takes time to roll out the changes - this is currently still a work in progress. But let us know what you're having difficulty with, or what you would like to see released next.
