I have satellite internet, a lot faster than my old dial-up, but I also found the new classified format confusing. I personally liked the old format where a quick note about something for sale was on ridecamp; then if I wanted, I could go to classifieds and look at the ad. As Karen says, it was much easier and faster to scroll through the ads as they were.

Just some thoughts....

Not meaning to be a bah-humbug person......but perhaps taken with constructive criticism....

2. The new set up of the classifieds will certainly curtail my daily perusing.....I guess being in the dark ages with plain old dial up. it's painfully slow to view ads. Before, I could just scroll down and speed-read and scan ads...reading all the ads probably in less than a few minutes...and could get all the pertinent information in an instant.

With the new format...given the titles are whatever; you can't tell if a a horse is old, young, how tall, etc. All that shows up on the main menu is price and location...so I would have to click on each title;and wait for it to load...to even see if it's a horse I want to read about....then wait to go back to main menu....maybe having a few more categories would help, just giving age of horse, gender and perhaps height.......? (this being constructive criticism)

On the tack ads....only one thing may be listed in the title, while more things might be in the ad....so unless I click on each ad individually, I can't see everything that is there....again, with dial up,this could take hours!!!!

Just my opinions....I liked the format of the old ads with just a link for photos.....so that if the ad was nothing I was interested in, I could just avoid the photo download time.

  Oh well, I don't need to be looking at horses or tack anyway!

Wow, John and Steph! You go home for a night, come back the next day, and BAM! Whole new website look!

If you get ridecamp via email, go to endurance.net sometime and check out the new look.

The only thing I don't like, John, since I read the archives, is that the colors of posts "read" and "unread" are very similar (purple vs. blue) so it's a lot harder to distinguish what I have already read.

Thanks for all your hard work in keeping the endurance community informed!

Alissa
