    why the change?

    Hello,



    I have been scoping out LL web site for a few weeks, and found it a very informative site, and condensed site for

    luxury travel opportunities.



    Since this weekend, I noticed the change in format; in that the auctions no longer appear to be prioritized by "time remaining to bid" Also noticed more ads per page. That is changing the web page experience in a negative way.



    Am I missing something here? Apologize if this is something due to an issue with my local PC.



    Hope to stay involved... but it appears to be getting more difficult.

    Thanks



    RDP

    Re: why the change?

    rdp3d, just to see what you were talking about, I clicked on "Travel Offers," then "Closing Soon" in the drop down menu. After the first page, the rest of the auctions were in order of closing time with the exception of properties with multiple offers. Those properties were listed under the closing time of their first package. I haven't noticed that there are more ads per page. If there are more ads, it's probably because Luxury Link has gotten very popular and selling ads is profitable for them. I don't mind the ads at all because they probably help Luxury Link keep their prices so low. If they're not bringing in advertising money, where are they going to get their income? That's right, from customers in the form of higher prices.



    I hope that you remain interested in Luxury Link. It's a great website.

    Re: why the change?

    Where did all the cruises go? I know the site has gone through some changes and there are a few bugs still being fixed. After the latest "update", I could not find cruise auction / buy it now packages w/o doing a search by the cruise line name. Now I can't even get that. Did they move the search and I just can't find it? I can select cruises, then click on all offers, but none come up -just the ad listings.

    Re: why the change?

    Changes are the part of the growth process. If you are viewing more advt on webpages, you get more information. Normally bids are placed on time left scale or the released dates. However, your feedback will help the administrators to present the content in more practical way.
