I can't log in. Unless you are very very quick when you access the website a banner advert comes down and completely blocks the log in screen.

Whoever did this 'update' needs to be taken out and shot.

i filled in their on line survey and whinged bitterly about the inconsistent amateur look of it now, it is also slow and clumsy and it keeps crashing on me for no reason. Don't look at it much now - far too much like hard work.

if you are lucky enough to get some sort of list and select price high to low etc it still lists them in a random order.

Guys, I share your pain! I'm a freelance Web test analyst and I spent six months at AutoTrader testing the old site as the new one was developed. I bought the first edition of the magazine and my brother used to work for them selling advertising, so I have a certain fondness and brand loyalty.

AutoTrader made a simple error (in my opinion), they brought in outside programmers and designers instead of using the talented and knowledgeable guys they had in house.

I think that this was strategy foisted on them however by the Guardian group who own the title, not the fault of the people who work at Newton Le Willows. I hope the owners learn from this and see fit to allow their own guys to design and build AutoTrader 3.0 and soon!

This morning they are running a full background Googe Chrome advert and the site is unusable. After two minutes I left. Incidentally the search provided by AutoTrader for Top Gear is better (though buggy - try finding an Alfa GT, all you get is page after page of GTVs).

Seems to be working OK now. Someone must have seen to it - or was it the result of Niallster carrying out his threat?
