It would help if the site could stay online for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Re: Realestate.com.au
Doesn't render properly for me - most of the content is squished up on the left hand 25% of the screen.

Re: Realestate.com.au
It looks much better ! the map is fast, the search options are much better.
Finally I will be able to search for unfurnished, air conditioned rentals rather than having to open each one and read through to find if its got air con.
Those search filters are not working yet, as I suspect estate agents need to tick the boxes when they list a property, rather than just type it in the text like they have always done. So it will take awhile for them to start doing it, but eventually it should work out much faster to use
I like it

Re: Realestate.com.au
It's a shocker. Fast for the first sort but much slower if you want a different sort. Cant stand the way it is all squished up down the left hand side without clear boundaries around each property.

Getting loads of javascript errors on the page & can't browse through the pics etc on a property page.
My search results page looks like this!

There is no proper testing in the web-development world, we are all beta testers these days ...

Re: Realestate.com.au
Well which browser does it work on then? It doesnt work on Opera or Chrome or IE as far as I can see. Just picking a suburb from the map doesnt work either - you seem to get everything from everywhere even when just one suburb is highlighted. And you cant send them a comment from their questions page either. Hopeless
