Topic: Big News for Autos.ca and autoTRADER.ca

I've always assumed pharmaceuticals are involved.

Same.

And REALLY good ones!!

Glad to see I 'm not the only one that thought that over the years.

I always thought Saf just had an odd sense of humour. I don't always understand what he types but y'know

Well, I suppose the could be one explanation.........but I have to think Sir O's theory explains a lot

Hey guys, I realized something today I think you guys will be happy about.
You know how pagination is a pain in the backside and you almost universally HATED it?
It's gone!
All the autoTRADER articles will show on one page.

Yay !

Not your imagination, items have started to move towards autotrader.ca

And now with the new announcement that is clearly the goal.  So all the new articles will be at autoTRADER.ca

C'mon. I'm like 57. It'll take me a week and several attempts to create a new bookmark. GRRRRR.....

You are probably right about that!  Another theory is that all of us type gibberish and Saf is the only one writing normal 

PS: Notice the "cruel" game being played on the autos.ca link? Not a peep about any change when at that link, just leave everyone twisting in the wind wondering why every day this week when opening autos.ca there's nothing new!!!    See how long it takes before everyone else finds the sub board here that they never visit!

EDIT: Checked autotrader.ca now and the review section has seen no change since Friday either?

[wing]

Yeah I would hope something goes up on autos.ca just so I can avoid answering all the emails I'm going to get wondering why new content hasn't been posted.

Thank you!

One thing I do miss is having news articles linked to the forums so we could discuss them.

Looks like a few new articles were posted yesterday on Trader    http://wwwb.autotrader.ca/expert/

Is there no place to post comments on the articles?  That's one of the biggest things I do/read on the autos.ca website.  I sometimes skip the review altogether and go right to the comments to see what people are saying.

So will these articles still be posted on autos.ca or will they only be on autotrader?  Removing the daily new content from autos.ca will affect the forum in a negative manner and fewer new users will join in the future.  Have to say I hate change but I understand that's to be expected in this industry.

Looks like you can post at the bottom of the article thru your facebook login?

The site went live overnight. I'm currently writing the article for Autos.ca to show people where to go for new stuff. It will be on the homepage later this morning.
Obviously I couldn't do it before the site went live!

Anyway, for new stuff go to www.autotrader.ca/expert/
I will start posting links to those articles shortly.

This is a Beta site, you can expect a lot of news features and enhancements to roll out over coming weeks.

As mentioned in the original post, links to those articles will still be posted here in the Press Room forum.

I'm in catch-up mode this morning so it won't be til later today you see those pop up here. Yesterday was a pretty big day for us as you can imagine, so there'll be a little delay in things this morning.

Also I booked a comparison test for today... because I'm fun like that...

Just found this today. I've been wondering why the new reviews weren't showing up in the autos.ca main page.
I got some catching up to do!

Meh, there are enough of us to create new threads on Autos.ca and criticize the review that was posted on Autotrader.ca
