I absolutel hate the new gneric ad format on eros. I kinda liked the individuality of the original ads.  Am I alone on this??

The advantage is that you have the photos in front of you while you scroll the text. Any they try to standardize provider info.

It's a trade-off. More practical, aesthetically less pleasing.

But why on many of them is the rate no longer listed?

Nope - ugly appearance, poor user interface.
If they had given us high quality fielded search ability to go with the low effort database dump display maybe it would be different, but that just looks like lazy coding.

I think it sucks. Harder to get needed info. EROS, please go back.

That is so true about the prices not being listed. I am more likely to see a provider with the price listed than to waste time calling up the provider trying to get a quote.

Sometimes if you call you will be pretty pleased with the discounts for multiple hours. Some providers don't want there prices published for fear of backlash from other providers about under pricing the market. You also won't see their prices in reviews either.

Not a fan either, yet I know we will not get far complaining. I know many didn't like the new TER format, yet we weren't having any ears listening to us.

Kamul, you are right.  I know (and many others) know of a major provider who delisted herself from TER because of the actual reality of "the backlash".

Egg, it may be more "venting" than anything else.  I hate to say it but venting can have lousy ramifications.  Sometimes others regard it as whining and turn off to it.  Sometimes it can start turf wars and even hurt people.  I'm not suggesting that THIS topic would have such an outcome, however.

There are denominations listed on many of the ads, but not all - just like before Eros switched to their new format.  The rates, when provided, are in the scrollable text at the bottom of the ad, just as they used to be in the text of the old ads.

Was surprised when the new format came up.  Don't really like it and the pictures are too small.  Having a more standard layout might be easier for eros and hobbyists, but they need to make it look better.
