When I added a new listing I noticed the thank you page has a dead "add listing" link forcing me to use the back-button to add a second listing.

Anyone found other oversights? It might help O expedite corrections if you list them.

It seems to be okay, but I haven't added any new listings yet.

The text in the bid management area of the DTC seems a lot larger though.

I noticed today that if I try to set it to show 100 or 200 listings per page instead of 40, it forgets. And also when I try to go to page 2 of listings, it will jump to some other category than the one I'm in.

I got approval for 95 terms earlier this afternoon. When I tried to re-catagorize them, 45 transferred and the others just vanished. I hope I don't have to re-write all those ads again.

Almost forgot, several catagories I took offline got put back online. Glad I caught it as those are expensive terms.

BUGS! They should of written the screen-play for "STARSHIP TROOPERS!" This is the most bug riddled incarnation yet! I have the misfortune of managing over 75 search strings, most of which are edited weekly and turned on or off daily so I'm in the (what is laughingly referred to as the DTC center)to manage these terms.

This ludicruos version I like to call "overthehill0035" is so full of bugs it's almost impossible to manage you terms in under a day! First of all the prefrence settings are non existent, the system always defaults to default view after any change in BID,ON-OFF,EDIT,ETC.. ETC.. and now with the genius of seperate windows for "match settings" & "Standard settings" you are forced to do twice the work to manage a given search term(s)! Try and turn a term on or off in match term if the term is off in standard settings.., the system refuses to budge! set your view for 100 terms displayed, specific category displayed and wala looks OK..., until you make any other change on the page then it bounces right back to default full blown view with only 40 max terms displayed! Try to set your field views and see what happens.., NOTHING! it won't make those chages at all!

I have contacted Overture mangement many times about there poor programming and frankly they do not GIVE a ^^%$*^% as long as the "ADD MONEY" works and the DEBIT ADVERTISER ACCOUNT" works they are quite happy to stick this peice of junk on us poor advertisers! The problem folks is the internet is being domonated by only a few major engines who have cozied up together and the people who run them frankly could not give a &&*%$ about people like us only are MONEY! Until the internet changes into something less monopolized from a advertisers perspective, these guy's will continue to shovel in our cash! they still have not learned there lesson.., like when they were bleeding corporate america to death, they finally woke up and said STICK IT! I think we as small business owners need to form some kind of advertising coopertives to protect us from this kind of "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT TAKE A HIKE ATTITUDE"
That't my belly-ache for today!

I couldn't get my settings to stick either (like changing the view to 200 listings) and no matter what I did the account kept defaulting back to one particular category. I contacted Overture and they told me to delete my temp internet files and cookies, empty my recycle bin, and then reboot. It seems to have worked and I haven't had any problems since.

if you're still having problems w/ settings and haven't called overture yet, try doing this...

log out, close your brower, open your brower, delete cookies, temp internet files, log back in, and you should be able to hold settings now
