Default New site needs help

Is it just me or does the new classified section really suck... It wasn't broke, it was easy to use. Why did you screw it up, trying to make it better...

Sadly, I think its one of those cases where a small group of individuals thinking they know best and then decides it is best, for all users what they came up with. Instead of steadily presenting to users for feedback, the proposed changes, before making those changes permanent for all.

well, the small group is the owners of IB(internet brands) and they write, implement, and "support" the software that almost all the internet forums run on. they only bought and maintain rcu as a place to try out new stuff before it is foisted upon the folks that buy their software.
we are the lab rats...

It was about to be.

Unfortunately the marketplace as it was would become inoperable at the end of this month because of required technology updates. I fought for a long time (much longer than I knew it would be shut down) to salvage it and tech just did not have the resources. We've had a forum-based marketplace on TheHullTruth.com for YEARS with no issues. So I assure you, the new layout is very workable. We gave everyone a preview about three weeks ago.

Wow, that's completely wrong
For reference, our Auto sites (not in my department) get first rollout of everything. They're the testing ground and we actually get more stable releases of basically everything. People who license vBulletin are lucky if they get anything beyond basic security updates and bug fixes. They mostly custom-code their plug-ins and products.
