Trading Post web site.

[Rossluck]

I've just sent off a letter of frustration to the Trading Post. For some reason I've had a lot of trouble with their web site over the past few months. I used to use it all the time, but when they changed to a new interface, I found it almost impossible to run searches for stuff.

Does anyone else out there use this site? Have you had any problems?

[martrix]

yeah, i know what you mean.
Its only recently that I have worked out how to use properly.

What part erks you the most?

[Felder]

I find all the Sensis websites irritating.

Whereis
Trading Post
White Pages
Yellow Pages

All seem slow to load and chuck you around everywhere. :mad:

Basically, I have trouble using it al all. It keeps bombing out on me, or freezing, or it begins a search that extends to another galaxy and keeps me waiting for half an hour (I do other stuff and notice that it's still searching when I'm shutting down).

We have a laptop (SWMBO's) and a desktop, both late models, and broadband. Ebay works a treat, and only mucks up about 1 time in 20.

if you want, tell me what it is you are looking for and I will see if i can find it.

are you on Bigpond?

My cable connection has dropped out about 5 times today:mad: . Could be the extreme weather conditions, that would be their excuse anyway.

Look, just found heaps of Table Saws for sale around the country.

First up they slam you with all the commercial ads, you have to tick the "Private Seller" option after you search.

Sensis is bloody useless.

[echnidna]

whaddya expect of telstra?

[bitingmidge]

Strangely perhaps, since the revamps all the frustrations of which you speek have gone away for me.

cheers,

I had a problem with my cable dropping out but it's been fine today.

I had a tech come out last week and he replaced the rusty connector on the power pole. Doubled my power level and speed straight away and no drop outs since.

I was looking for a post hole digger attachment for my Dingo. What I've done in the past is to run a quick search on The Trading Post to catch ads. that are fresh that day. It's the way to get some bargains.

Thanks for the offer, but there's no real urgency.

Thanks for that Rossluck. I thought it was just me that thought it was a PITA.

[David L]

I agree with Felder I find them a pain.

Just read your post re."Trading Post" Rossluck. I find it opens OK but when I start a search I get a Microsoft "error" message and it closes down.
This problem has only occurred since the TP's all amalgamated, and doesn't happen anywhere else. Real PITA!
