Upon my first review of the changes, I had a positive opinion. Granted, NO ONE really "likes" change, but eventually we do get used to it.
I did have one concern, and here is a copy of the email exchange I had with GL...

From that, we can assume it is a work in progress.
I just hope they put up the local phone numbers.
Annoying as heck to make a long distance phone call just to get your neighbors phone number.
Sometimes I think these Corporate types sit on their arsenal to much in to many meetings listening to all the local in house bitchen that they forget who their customers are and what their needs are rather then the employees who seem to feel everything need go through them first. Nothing more then job insecurity.

This is for everyone who can't find the local phone numbers- they are listed on the item itself- on the tab called "CONTACT DETAILS"
At least they are for trucks I won at two different locations yesterday!
3d- I know you pointed this out earlier- but this post was not clear- so I added my comment.

Thanks 3dAngus for explaining the Location process - that was my biggest hangup. Should be a good improvement (although I didn't have any problems with the ols site).

Slowly I am seeing benefits from the new site. The options missing still bother me, but there are new options. I particularly like when viewing an event the little side bar shows how many lots are in each state listed by state for that particular event.
That saves time instead of sorting the list and then finding the states you want to view.
Changing the display from list to grid view is also handy when you just want to see the photos to quickly scan for items you might be interested in.
I cant say I love it, but its growing on me.

Looks like the engine has been changed, upgraded.
When you type in plural words, singular and plural come up now, making the search engine much more powerful than before. In previous search engines, if you typed a singular word or a plural word, only the singular or the plural would come up. It was a dinosaur by todays standards and made it much more difficult to find some specific items. I love that aspect of it.
Still grieving over them using only one phone number for all locations though. I'm gonna fix that!

It would be nice if they would put the page numbers/arrows of the watchlist at the top and bottom of the page instead of just at the top.

You can refresh it all day long, but until you log in you won't see the new site.

And they probably paid a small fortune for it too. My buddy does web site design for major database sites. Im guessing 50k isht for something like this, possibly upwards of 80k but thats mostly for sites like target and what not.

Has anyone tried operating their saved searches? Mine all come up with zero results but I can find items I'm looking for on site searches.

Half mine work,
Half mine don't.
Trying to figure out what the difference is. Nothing obvious in the programming of it. It's gotta be there somewhere...still looking.

The main issue I have is that the select item box has been deleted and now you have to add each item to the watch list individually or add them all.
Other than that it looks like same stuff just with a new look.
They must have gotten a new it genius or they wanted to spend money on something unnecessary.
They need more employees at the sites and at customer service.
