They need to return to old format ASAP Agree. New format is dire. Advert heavy and the search facility is crass as it keeps flipping back to unwanted pages. Shan't bother until it's changed.

countryman Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Considering how many people on this site alone use guntrader you would think someone from there would put a message on here about what’s happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twin extractors Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Its no better on friday night 10/5/24, what a complete shambles the old website was so much more efficient the trade accounts on there must be a bit ****** off by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryman Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 I can’t get on there at all, when I try to look on my local gun shop adds it just blocks me, surely they have finished themselves this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win96X Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Suspect this discussion is primarily about Guntrader not Gunwatch. Guntrader have done it again! Tried to change something that was working perfectly well with an "improved" version that is clunky to use and falls down as soon as certain search criteria is selected. I recall Guntrader trying an "improvement" a while back which was also a failure and they reverted to the original format. I find it incredible that they don't seem to field test these new versions before imposing them on us. Whatever happened to Quality Control!

JohnfromUK Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Used this today. It is 'usable', but much less easy than before and seems to have a few bugs (duplicated entries etc.) Why can people not leave things that work OK alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 (edited) Finally got on there today , limited it down to the gun i wanted to see, clicked on the first add and it went to something completely different, what are these people playing at, and I still can not access any gun adds from my local gun shop that use gun trader, it keeps saying you do not have permission to access this. Look on trustpilot reviews and see the bashing they are getting on there as well. Edited May 14 by countryman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I'll never register on there again after that. It is a shame they have such a stranglehold on the market, so many gunshops using them for inventory management it seems. Too big to fail. I'm very upset my private data was released to the dark web and especially that they were warned of the weaknesses in their security long before the data was hacked, and did nothing to safeguard it. Roll the company into liquidation and phoenix another one with the same intellectual property and website asset etc, to avoid financial if not moral liability for this breach.

bostonmick Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 people need to inform their dealers that they cannot get to see guns on the guntrader site.if a few of the trade advertisers complain to them that would likely see a return to a sensible and easy to navigate site.i shall no longer waste time trying to find anything on there.

TK421 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 (edited) Just managed to finally log into Guntrader…. Well that was painful. Of the few things that were great about Guntrader, the sales history was one of them, that’s now gone. the original platform although a little clunky actually worked, or more so, we all knew how to navigate it to eventually find what we were looking for. Looks like to me that somebody somewhere convinced them “oh you really need to pay us loads of money, sorry, I mean you really need to update and upgrade your website to a whole new more secure platform that looks absolutely garbage. That will we be £20k with a monthly maintenance fee on top. Oh and we can take a really funny banner photo of people shooting guns in various directions for an extra £5k 😉” this is what happens when you reply to that email from India saying we’ve seen you website and we can make it better *** 🤦🏻♂️ I mean just look at the layout of manufacturers? What the actual ….. 🤦🏻♂️ Edited June 11 by TK421 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I logged on and tried to alter the add but it would not let me put it right. I contacted them by e.mail and their contact page, but no response. I phoned them at least a dozen times and they picked up the phone twice but then cut me off after two or three seconds. GUN TRADER ARE A BUNCH OF SHYSTERS IN MY OPINION. I WILL NEVER USE THE AGAIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.357shooter Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 It is called progress like everything else that has been ruined by some 17 year old manager of some sort who knows better than any adult . this applies to everything in the modern world.

TRINITY Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 I wish the gun trade would get together and come up with something better. This joke of a company must be having an effect on their trade. I wish I knew who actually ran it as they seem extremely reluctant to speak or be contacted. They charge £15+ for a private advert, don't know what they charge the trade. However they must be laughing at us mugs as the money flows in for their terrible site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
