Just went to do my daily window shopping trip through the W & W classifieds. I love the new site. It seems like a great improvement so far. Now back to my search.

The Segelflug site is easier to scan quickly, even though in German. The old W&W site had a nice mix of photos and text. The Barnstormers site has wide columns of text with thumbnails of up to five photos. Glider Pilot Network has text with a single thumbnail.

I prefer not to have to click on a photo to get the text info, it is too slow to look through for more than a couple of entries. I personally would prefer to have smaller photos with full text along side or underneath. If a larger format photo is desired, click on the photo to enlarge, as is done with the Barnstormers or Glider Pilot Network websites.

Thanks for carrying on providing the info that Tim provided for all these years.

Suggestion for W&W - If you want to keep seller details safe from screen
scrapers, etc. you could always require a login to access them. That is
what gliderpilot.net does. Works for me.

Sean,
I like the new site. Clean and fresh. Change is always problematic. As a person that has used the listing to make a purchase I would also like the recently sold and dropped page back. It was a valuable tool. No login... please.

Thanks for the fast update.

I agree I would prefer to be able to read the description of the aircraft and have some idea what part of the world it is located in without having to do an additional click.

Brian
