Just went to do my daily window shopping trip through the W & W classifieds. I love the new site. It seems like a great improvement so far. Now back to my search.

the only thing i can see, is that in the classified section, the botton to go to the next page is at the to, so you have to scroll back up. it would be nice to have that at the bottom, so that when you get to the bottom of the page, you clickthe link for the next page w/o having to scroll back up.

Good suggestion. The web developers are working bottom navigation.

I haven't found the "recently sold" section in the new website. Have you discontinued it or have I just overlooked it?

I was looking for that as well.

I find the new format to be less efficient. It takes a lot longer to get the same information. One of the great things about the old format was that you could scroll through lots of ads quickly and have all the information as to price, condition, equipment, location in the country, who the seller is without having to click a bunch of links and go to different windows. It now takes substantially longer.

There is an option to increase the number of ads per page, but it doesn't work. Even if it did, you still have to click on the picture to get any details and then do the math to get the seller information and possible location. Pictures are nice, but I would like to have more information than just the price available without having to click a link.

Developing a full classified section with seller login, multiple pictures, automated notifications, expanded detailed description, standard formatted fields and more takes careful planning......we have been planning. The current version isn't our end plan, only part of the initial website launch.

Recently sold wasn't overlooked but not included. We can add the page if enough people want it back.

It's important to hide seller information from bots that crawl the web searching for someone to scam or spam. Doing the math is one way to protect information.

Sean-

Thanks for the great service that you are providing. I've adapted to the new format, but I do miss the sold pages.

New buttons have been added to the classified section for Recently Sold, Cancelled Not Sold and Cancelled Not Renewed. Alex Franke, Wings & Wheels classified webmaster, will be updated those sections from the last three weeks, after his homework of course. Alex soloed in a 2-33 this past summer on his 14th birthday.

It would be very helpful if the asking price was included in the Recently Sold section so price research could be done. It looks like the first 3 recently sold gliders have asking price but none of the others do. Not clear if this is a coding error or if there was a data format change causing the missing data or what.

In any case, I commend your responsiveness to make the site updates so quickly. Well done!
