Welcome to the new Qatar Living
By now you've probably noticed some significant improvements to Qatar's biggest online community platform. We've been working very hard to upgrade the website from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.
Unless you're a geek, that probably means nothing to you. What you will be happy to learn though, is that the upgraded back-end of the site now allows for better performance and optimisation - which in turn means a better user experience for you!
Got a question? Need help?
The new help tab on the right of your screen will be continously updates with FAQ's, and it will also allow for a quicker response time to help with any issues you face.
Can I still post FREE classifieds ads?
Yes, of course. But in an effort to eliminate spams and scams, you will need to verify your account with a local Qatar mobile number. This means that only people based in Qatar are allowed to sell through our site. Once you receive the SMS verification code that will be sent to your mobile phone, your classified will go up.
And can we still have discussions and ask for advise in the forums?
Yes, of course. Once you log in and browse the forums and comments, you will notice a little heart icon, and an exclamation icon.
The heart icon is basically a like - click it when you like or agree with a valuable comment or contribution. This will help us separate the quality from the rest. And the exclamation is pretty much the opposite - click it to flag anything that you believe requires further attention from the moderators.
But this is only the beginning. We will continue to continue to roll out improved versions of old features, and also many cool new features:
- upcoming improvements to groups, private messages, user points and other functionality,
- new events section to be launched in the near future,
Have some feedback for us?
Please click on the help tab and get in touch - we would love to hear your feedback!

Good Job Qatari and the Gang. Hope the rest of the features are restored/Updated soon. I for one like the new layout!
old was better.There is no home page in new website.
Waiting & waiting ......
Bitter but true.
RIP QL, it was nice knowing you
tried to post an opinion of the site, obviously as it was negative, nothing bad, offensive or illegal, I am now told that I am violating QL guidelines..................only positive comments please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Old was better, when posting an ad, location doesn't recognise half of Doha, I had to put a location that wasn't my location just so I could send an ad, if I did my work to this standard, I'd be fired and deported!
Pay peanuts...............................
So majority has rejected it ............ !
The searching seems to lack detailed resuts.
changes are welcome. but this is too much, cannot do a good search. the old one better

the none is not in good, old is better for the searching.
Nadeem, I asked that question in the last week , till now no body answered it .......
you can do better than this.
changes is good but the old one is more easy and accurate. this new webpage is so confusing and it's not very friendly use!
you need to work on your search option, i love the old version .... no idea why you have change it, old one was superb
Disaster of a move. All I see is a few classifieds and about 5 posts over the last 2 days. All conversation has been killed and nothing can be found.
I keep coming here to find something new,but nothing. I shan't bother anymore.
The look is updated but it doesn't function at all.
alot of bugs ,there are no search options for the used cars now
so please fix everything
Strom.. :) Did not you read the post "QL gone Pink" :)
it is very difficult now to get used to
The new version is good.. obviously it will take some time getting used to :).. Great Job!!
Hi, Hope good days will come back , guys And girls .....
Hi, MM, I have my hopes on you dear.
MM, That is so true.
MM, Good motivation !
Mindblah, what you said is very correct.
On the other hand, It is ONLY fashionable to say, '' oh change is always welcome .... ''
But, it is nice to see people speaking out the truth .....
I am saying this since the day one ..........
New Design is Disaster !!!! I was also complaining with the old design but it was much much better. for the classifieds I cannot filter anything. before there were filters like brand year km and price where did they go ????

I much preferred the old forum. Even though the forum has a more modern look'n'feel now, the superficial changes seem to have come at the cost of functionality and user experience. For example, it takes more effort to glance through the posts in a subforum which, instead of appearing in a neat and regular table, are in little boxes of different heights in two columns, so your eyes need to scan it in a zigzag path. Not fun. Also, less of the post subject is visible so I'm often not sure if a thread is going to be interesting to me or not.
Even as I type this message, the Javascript/Ajax/whatever causes my cursor to freeze around once a minute and then splutter the buffered text into the text window. There are also occasional freezes when I try to scroll. (And it's not like I'm running this on old technology - I have the latest MBA laptop running FF 24.0.) When I visited this forum on my iPhone 4's Safari browser the post subjects go offscreen and I can't resize it. (Although this could be because I'm using a very old version of iOS - maybe the forum looks better on iOS 7, but haven't tried it yet.)
Although I don't post here a lot, I (used to) browse the forum almost daily for interesting news and posts. I hope it's still a work in progress, because in it's current shape I can't see myself visiting this forum that frequently anymore.
Just a (somewhat disgruntled) member's two "halalas".
Most of the features have been disabled. Once they have sorted out all the bugs better features will be available.
:)

Dear Mods, how to filter searchs in classifieds based on prices.
Strom, Those who watch ladies on screens for long hours daily also begin to behave like one ...........

Sidroney , If It is continuous progressive management , then a few more pushes are needed ...
mistake,, purw = pure .....
search results cant be sorted by recent date of post.... cant see all adds like before if you click on a category....site has become useless. If you click on a category this is the result u get .
No results contaning your search terms were found.
Suggestions:
Make sure that all words are spelled correctly
Try different keywords
Try more general keywords
77, this is a purw surprise ...
Who has asked for this change ?
SEARCH option under classified (for instance) is really pathetic :-( should be sorted by DATE in descending order. To be honest, the previous version was more user friendly.
i getting very old classified in the properties section. there is nothing new ads to show up..please fix it

Hi all! Thanks for your support! We're working through some issues at the moment but hope to be back with more available features and pages soon!
By the way, I like the picture on your post, my hubby and I have a similar one too :)
Good morning. I just noticed the change. It is really fantastic.
Congratulations to all QLers.
nice :)
The 'time' in comments was accurate previously.
Can QL advanced to mobile version?. No..., you need to load all those flash, java, etc onto your mobile.
Mabrook
the preview and edit are missing :(
Congratulations qatari on your success!
The change might be good for landloverreview and all, but it'll take long for me to get used to it :(
I admit, I'm old fashioned.
Good Morning Qatari. Alf Mabrook. :) Excellent. Fantastic. love it. :) You really deserve a huge applause for making something which millions of people get benefit from. If Qatar has some social awards for community welfare I would definitely vote for QL and you. Cheers.
