    Re: changed format of LL listings

    Bradio,



    If youhit the "Advanced Search" option, you can narrow down your choices by location, number of days, when you want to travel etc. It is in the "Quick Search" box on the right side of the home page.



    Is this what you mean? What trouble are you having?



    There are a lot of auctions, that is for sure. I remember when I first discovered this site (6-7 years ago?) there were so many fewer options (and better deals, I think)- there is good and bad in everything I guess.

    I hate the new format. I hopethe person who did all these changes , will just put it back the way itused to be. It wasSO much easier to plan a trip the old way. I'm glad there is other people out there like me ,that HATES the new system.

    Re: changed format of LL listings

    bradio, polyak3469 and kellylout, in the short time I have been a participating member of Luxury Link, I have noticed a number of changes. Many of the other members who have been involved with Luxury Link for several years have lived through a huge number of changes. The evolutions of this site are among the aspects which enable the company to grow and the increasing member base to have more opportunities regarding travel. If you choose to leave, rather than learn and adapt, you will be the losers..your choice!

    Re: changed format of LL listings

    bradio, the continuing success of Luxury Link belies your assumptions regarding the negative effects of changes.......as there have been many since the inception of the site. Lets agree to disagree on this point.



    As for customer service, Luxury Link has a stellar record.



    If you remain an active member, you will surely enjoy many holidays at substantial saving. If you choose tospend your hard earned money at other sites, good luck and good shopping.

    Re: changed format of LL listings

    syrene-1.....we think you've hit the proverbial nail on the head regarding changes. We have also beenwith LL for several years and have experienced a number of changes. Offerings have increased dramatically, obviously, the size of participating visitors/customers have increased as well....and many new bells and whistles have been integrated into the web site. We experience a learning curve each time changes occur, but eventually, we acclimate and move on. We encourage each of the new community members to stick around and continue to invite their friends and associates to join as well. The larger the community grows, the greater the opportunity for new and different future offerings.

    Re: changed format of LL listings

    Hi O, and Syrene-1,
    I agree with both of you, as LL grows, changes will be inevitable and so will be the learning curve. On the other hand LL should strive to keep their site and this community board "user friendly". It now taks quite a few more clicks and as Syrene-1 pointed out: "There were so many fewer options (and better deals, I think)- there is good and bad in everything I guess."

    Re: changed format of LL listings

    Hello LL community - I see valid points on both sides of this issue. As O points out change is a learning curve and often difficult. I agree with Bradio that the valid dates of an offer should be listed in the short bio of an auction - PRIOR TO PAGE 3 Previously it was easier and much faster to look through all auctions and determine your time schedule - Now I look through auctions and am frustrated to find a prefered destination, only to find out 2 pages later that my prefered valid dates are not an option. This paging back is driving me CRAZY! I also enjoy browsing all auction options, but time spent doing this is keeping me from enjoying information found in posts and elsewhere on the LL site. Moderators can you please post valid dates on package information in the smallest - first auction listing? Thanks for your consideration ...Funtimes
