holloway Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 What do you all think of the new site ? I don’t think it’s an improvement takes ages to get a search result especially if you haven’t the postcode for the area . Having said that I am getting older and accept all new changes I find unsettling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) I was just looking, didnt list the gun i was interested in, only after entering the makers name did it come up, but no list of alternatives. confusing Put in 10 bore in search and you get 25 pages of mostly airguns Edited January 16, 2023 by islandgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 For shotguns, the previous software allowed users to refine their search. For example by make, calibre, condition, action, County etc. etc. As far as I have tried the new release does not, thus making searching and browsing extremely difficult and frustrating. very large omission and backward step - in my view.

Fellside Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 It’s very glitchy - shouldn’t have been released until market ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 It was good the way it was, too complicated now 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wylye Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 I agree with all of the above. At first sight it looks good but navigation around the various categories is a nightmare. How do you find gunshops in any specific area if you don't have the postcode? A backwards step I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Why can`t they just stick to a format that works and everyone is familiar with. If it ain`t broke, don`t fix it. !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Just looked on my local gun shops web site powered by guntrader and nothing is working on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 It must be the F UP FAIRIES week off from eBay. Every time I go on eBay they've changed a familiar format and method of listing, checking bids and etc. to a new "experience"? More like people in IT trying to justify their salaries.

vmaxphil Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Had a look yesterday 😖 come back the old one all is forgiven 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 This happened a few years ago and someone from Guntrader came on the forum, was given some adverse comments from members and it was reverted back to the old format, if I recall. Hopefully someone from Guntrader is reading our comments this time. I note that there is a ‘comment’ button but it doesn’t seem to work. Also most photos are ‘awaiting image’ Absolutely diabolical. Bring back the old format. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamch Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 See they are closed again for site maintenance, reversion to old version I hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holloway Posted January 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 I have mailed Guntrader and highlighted politely a problem or two ,it was answered very promptly and professionally acknowledging an issue or two that they are trying to address,might I suggest a quick mail to them if you think any improvement can be made ,I know I started it but probably more helpful to them than grumbling on here.

Dtcman Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 What UK sales sites do people use? I regularly look at Guntrader, Gun Watch and GunStar but not really aware of any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taileron Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) I was in a large RFD today as my buddy was buying a new Ultra XS laminate. The guy behind the counter was pulling his hair out with the new site, the search parameters are terrible. The old site was fit for purpose IMO, the new “updated” version needed to have a proper amount of stress testing prior to launch. 8 hours ago, London Best said: How have I ever managed to shoot all my life without needing Guntrader? It was an incredibly good site to ensure you were getting a fair price for PX and not getting your shirt removed for new guns.
